Brexit would make fight against terror harders, says Europol chief



THE HAGUE: -- Police in Britain would struggle to prevent terror attacks and fight organised crime if the country votes to leave the EU.

That’s according to the chief of the EU’s law enforcement agency.

“If you take that infrastructure that they (the british police) have helped to design over the last forty years, if you take that away, then it would make the UK’s job harder, i think, to protect the citizens from the threat of terrorism,” said Rob Wainwright, the head of Europol.

His comments came at the launch of a new unit to tackle people smuggling.

Europol says nine out of every 10 asylum-seekers arriving in Europe have their travel facilitated by a criminal smuggling network

The agency says such gangs in Europe have an estimated turnover of as much as 6 million euros.

So, having complete border control and being able to prevent millions of refugees of unknown background being able to enter the UK after three years equals a higher threat to UK security?

This idiot from the EU couldnt secure a wet dream let alone the EU borders , he statement has no logic , .

How these people get these jobs is beyond my comprehension.

What is easier to secure and protect ?

The relatively small group of island known as the UK or the massive land mass that is Europe will its open and porous borders ?

Well then, work a little harder.

Now what was he thinking......... "I have to get my scary message out".
