Ten Pakistani students suspected of terror links who obtained security clearances to work as guards showed flaws in Britain’s vetting system, critics say.
Despite promises by government ministers to tighten up a system for checking the backgrounds of foreign nationals applying for sensitive security posts, 10 members of a suspected Islamist terror cell in Manchester had obtained permission by the British Home Office to work as security guards, The Sunday Times of London reported.

Man! You English are really progressive! Not only do you invite Islamists to live in your country, you certify them as security guards! That’s about as inclusive and multicultural as you can get! It gives me a warm feeling inside. In the future I’m sure Sharia will be just as kind to you non-Muslims. Ah Utopia! Let’s hold hands and sing. kumbaya lord kumbaya
