Are the security services in the UK so desperate to recruit spies and informers that they stop random travellers coming to the UK in order to recruit them? (IRR News Service, link): "IRR News has heard that a Sri Lankan man, visiting London was stopped as he passed through the Eurostar terminal in St Pancras and asked to spy on members of his own community and more specifically the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam network."

Our work is only possible with your support.
