I'll assume this is a serious question.

He had been admitted to hospital three times in Romania between May 2022 and February 2023 for treatment to his mental health.

Next time he enters the country this gets flagged up and UK mental health services determine whether he's fit to be let into the country.

Do we do any background checks before letting people into this country? Nope.

If background checks were done would a history of being a dangerous animal be grounds for getting someone deported? Nope.

For the past 20+ years have we had a government or state institution that cares? Nope.

Will this happen again and again? Yes.

Its a serious question. So how does his mental health get flagged up. Oddly enough, just like in the UK, health records in Romania are confidential.

Have you ever traveled abroad?

Ever had a background check before you were let in?

I got this from google AI, which explains why there probably weren't any checks done on him when he entered the country

Google AI said:

Nationality: Pintaru is a Romanian national.

Immigration Status: He was a migrant in the UK. Discussions on Reddit clarify that as a citizen of an EU country, he had the right to live and work in the UK before Brexit rule changes fully took effect or had a settled status. He was not a refugee or an illegal immigrant.

You asked about background checks, not mental health assessments. I have 2 examples

Dubai - was held for about an hour or so as someone with a similar name was wanted

USA - held for 6 hours once

My point is that if we should be checking who we let into the country.

Not sure which country you are referring to but it cannot be the UK. If you are a visa national you have to provide a lot of back ground information . I agree it's mainly financial rather than medical.

How do you do back ground checks on medical information which is confidential?

Seems like this lunatic had free entry to the country as he's a Romanian national. No checks at all apparently.

PH - Our taxes are too high!
Also PH - I demand all the services!

PH - How dare the state infringe my civil liberties!
Also PH - Why can't the state know everything about everybody?

In a thread about mental health and people being let into countries.
I wasn't asking if they checked your bag for contraband

And neither of your examples are background checks.

Thats fair.

What is your suggestion on stopping people with mental health conditions and a potential danger to our country being let in?

I am sure his passport was checked. Are you suggesting the UK stop visa free travel. If we do most countries will then impose the same restrictions on UK visitors. Applying for a visa and providing signed medical certificates will make foreign holidays a lot more fun.

And i think this incident is a fking good reason why checks should be reformed.

We don't need any more utter scum in the country. We have enough of our own.

It's also largely bks. But as mentioned already, checking for prior treatment for mental health issues isn't included, not least because of course most people who have mental health issues don't attack anyone.

You don't, you seperate the two. You do background checks on mental health. No access to mental health records, no entry.

Would you be ok with that?
