Ridiculous.”
WE would have to prove that we were British before the UK accepted us back. It sounds as if he was obstructive and the Tunisian authorities did nothing to assist the Germans.
If any Tom, Dick or Harriet turns up at the British Embassy there would be stringent checks before we'd be allowed travel documents to return to the UK.

And you expect us to show sympathy for him now he is dead. Really?
What about all his victims and their families?
What is perhaps most concerning is how he fled all the way across Germany to France and then made it into Italy without being spotted. Schengen certainly needs looking at.”
Personally, I am not sad that he is dead as he can no longer pose a threat but I am sorry that he has been killed before intelligence can be gathered regarding those who radicalised and controlled him.
It is always better to have justice run it's course and this man would have been far more use if captured alive - most of his victims families would also prefer to see justice done, I imagine.
I also feel for his family who have to live with his actions and appear to be as horrified as the rest of us.

How would they manage to put immediate border controls in place. Can you imagine how many border crossings there are in Europe?

How ill-mannered from someone who sounds to have never had any actual contact or experience of Islamic culture.
Visit a mosque, talk to Muslims and hear their opinions and lifestyles and then you might learn something.
