A stateless Lebanese man was arrested yesterday for shooting at the british flag outside the British Consulate in Malaga.He also scattered leaflets in the doorway of the Consulate.

It appears that the man fired five shots at the flag and was then arrested as he tried to drive away in his car.He has had an ongoing dispute with the British Consulate because they will not allow him to enter the UK ,even though his children are there.

The Spanish authorities say that he has been arrested previously because of forgery and making threats.Considering the number of people who are already living in the UK illegally ,without seeking the permission of anyone.It seems ironic that this man is seeking to enter the country legally and cannot do so.When people are so thwarted then sometimes they do make threats and sometimes they do attempt to forge documents ,out of sheer frustration .

The British authorities may have very good reason to keep this man out of the country but he obviously feels very angry about something ,maybe it has nothing to do with his family but if it was for a more furtive reason then why would he try to go through the  correct channels?
