POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND CORRUPT LAWYERS V1.t
The lawyers want more asylum seekers here as they are a big meal ticket for them with the legal aid they can claim.
FACTS ON THE P.C LAWYERS
21 Law firms will become "asylum millionaires" this year at the Tax payers expense. These companies will receive over a million pounds in Legal Aid fees. A lot of immigrants are now acting as consultants for the next wave. Leading immigration lawyer Nicola Rodgers claimed Britain would have to leave the E.U if it pulled out of the European convention on human rights. If this is true why can France ignore Article 3 of the human rights act?BENEFIT FRAUD COSTS TAXPAYERS £6,000 A MINUTE.
Benefit fraud and over-payments cost nearly £6,000 a minute, an official report revealed in December 2003. A total of £3 billion was lost last year as a result of bogus claims and blunders, Whitehall's spending watchdog said.
For every £10 paid out in Jobseeker's allowance, £1 is lost as a result of fraud or mistakes. Labour have had very little success in reducing the amount lost.
£2 billion was lost in fraud last year (2002) and another £1 billion in errors. This equates to £120 a year for each household in Britain. The National Audit Office revealed a total of £860 million was lost in Income support , £510 million due to fraud and the rest errors. Jobseeker's Allowance lost £290 million. Housing Benefit figures show that £750 million was lost through bogus claims or mistakes. Year after year we are faced with this disgraceful situation.
A Finish teacher caught with £500,000 of fake passports and ID cards for an illegal immigration scam was jailed for just five years on the 29th January 2004. Custom officers nabbed Paavo Kuosmannen as he got of the Euro-star train from Brussels. He was a courier for a people smuggling gang in Thailand who wanted to bring in loads of bogus asylum seekers into Britain.
A investigation can today reveal the shocking scale of the £1billion industry that sucks taxpayers’ cash out of Britain’s asylum chaos. Foreign companies, private health care providers, property businesses, even a luxury travel agent, are being paid hundreds of millions a year in a bid to contain thousands of illegal migrants. They are all cashing in on decisions made by the UK, which was last week described as “unfit or purpose”. Three French companies earned £106million between them last year. Last night, Tory MP Philip Davies said: “The taxpayer is being screwed and it’s time the Government got a grip.” An analysis of the agency’s payments to suppliers over the past 12 months shows almost 500 were each paid more than £25,000, totalling £941million. The biggest beneficiary was G4S, formerly known as Group 4, which received £96.9million for running detention centres and providing other security services. Its competitor, Serco, which runs the colossal Yarl’s Wood immigration “removal centre” near Heathrow, was paid £44.3million. While these two are well known, the Sunday Express has discovered that £44.7million was paid to VF Worldwide Holdings Ltd, a Mauritius company that processes applications for visas. It won a five-year contract in countries such as South Korea, China and Bangladesh in 2007.
Some £67.7million was paid to the French multinational Sodexo, which profits from providing controversial childcare vouchers to thousands of asylum seekers. Another France-based company, Carlson Wagonlit, a travel agent, was paid £28.7million to book flights home for deported asylum seekers. The company won a contract last year after it emerged civil servants were even hiring private jets for deportations. The agency also paid £18.7million to the International Organisation for Migration, a body that gives cash to asylum seekers as an “incentive” to go home. Another £9.3million was transferred to French-owned Atos Origin, a medical and IT specialist.
FAKE ASYLUM SEEKER JAILED FOR HUGE FRAUD.
A Dutch national posing as an asylum seeker launched a "wholesale attack" on the benefit system by fraudulently claiming more than £31,000. Mohomed Cali was jailed for 30 months at Northampton Crown Court in December 2003. The 24-year old former Somalian was granted Dutch Nationality in 1989 but when he arrived in the UK, he claimed to be an asylum seeker. He told immigration officials that he had children in his care and was granted child benefit and income support and housing benefit. But while he was claiming these under a fake name, Cali was signing on under his real name receiving more benefits while also working at the same time. Cali was receiving benefits for two people and housing support for two homes.
FAILED ASYLUM SEEKERS TRYING TO GET BACK IN TO UK.
Failed asylum seekers were in April 2005 amongst hundreds of refugees in Calais trying to sneak into Britain. Among them were an Iranian who already owns a pizza restaurant in north London and a group of extremist Islamic Algerians ( A former French colony).
Hossani left Iran in 2001 and was refused asylum in France. He worked illegally in London and saved enough money to open a pizza restaurant in Wood Green. He was kicked out of the UK. He says when he gets back he is not going to tell anyone he is in the UK.
TAXPAYERS PAYING FOR YOBS TO BE PUT UP IN HOTELS.
A teenage gang leader jailed for terrorizing his community is being put up in a hotel at taxpayers' expense, it was revealed on the 17th October 2003. Donavan Osborne 18 , moved into the £44.95 a night room two weeks ago after being released from custody. Osborne served only half his 12-month sentence and is staying at the Travelodge in Rugely, Staffordshire. His room has en suite facilities and satellite TV. The teenager is officially classed as homeless because magistrates have banned him from Chadsmoor, where he and his gang terrorized the locals. He could have stayed with his parents in Longford, another suburb of Cannock.
ASYLUM IS SIX TIMES WORSE THAN FEARED.
Britain's immigration crisis is six times worse than official figures suggest, a Home Office expert claimed yesterday. Robert Owen revealed that over 1,000 people a day were arriving at Heathrow's Terminal 3 to claim asylum. He said his information is highly classified and was speaking as a witness at a trial of Chinese nationals involved in people trafficking. Home Office census says only 8,000 Chinese are living in Manchester but the true number is over 40,000.
BOY DENIED NURSERY PLACE BECAUSE HE SPEAKS ENGLISH.
If he was a child of a single mother or an asylum seeker or living in a tower block, his full-time place at the local nursery would have been a formality. But this child happens to have an English speaking mother and father and lives in a nice home with a garden. According to the nursery's admissions criteria, means he is last in line for a place. His mother Mrs Townsend has been told her son can only attend on a part time basis.St Werburgh's Park Nursery School in Bristol says it is pre-empting a council-wide policy which will come in force in September 2005.Bristol City Council says preference must be given to children who are poor , poorly housed, Children of asylum seekers or traveler's and those who English is a second language.
Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi has admitted in public that the “political asylum” ruse used by Third World invaders to enter Europe is a “hilarious trick and lie” and that there is no justification for it. Mr Gadaffi’s comments were made during a press conference with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in June this year during a formal visit to Rome. Although captured on film, the Libyan leader’s comments were deliberately cut out of British TV broadcasts of the conference. The censored comments have now finally appeared on YouTube. In the censored clip, Mr Gaddaffi says: “As for political asylum, Africans have no problem with politics. That is one of the tricks and lies you hear. “They say ‘We’re here for political asylum.’ Africans don’t have this problem. “These are people who live in the jungle, in the desert. They know nothing about parties, elections or opposition.
“Political asylum? How many have political asylum? Millions? “Millions pour into Europe. Do they all want political asylum? It’s hilarious.”
THOUSANDS OF SLOVAK GIPSIES CAN COME HERE .
Thousands of impoverished Roma Gipsies from Slovakia will be able to enter the UK without visas from 12th December 2003. Britain imposed a strict visa regime five years ago in an effort to curb the rising numbers of Slovak Gipsies seeking asylum in the UK. News that Slovaks will no longer need visas to enter Britain from 12th December 2003 has prompted fears of a repeat of the asylum problems seen in 1998. Roma leaders from Slovenia have predicted a mass exodus to Britain when it joins the EU next May. We will also see large amounts of Polish and Portuguese arriving because their countries have no welfare systems. Estimated 750,000 Slovak Gypsies will come to the UK.
25,000 HOMES KEPT EMPTY FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS.
Around 25,000 homes earmarked for asylum seekers are being kept empty at taxpayers expense, a leaked Downing Street memo revealed on the 27th June 2004. The properties will remain vacant until next summer while the Government pays £100 million to rent them. The empty asylum homes add to the 700,000 unoccupied homes in England. 115,000 of them are publicly owned properties managed by councils or housing associations.
Details of the scandal emerged in leaked minutes from a meeting between Blair, Blunkett and Lord Falconer. Mr Blair complained about the way the Home Office's National Asylum Support Service (NASS) was spending the money.
ASYLUM MERRY-GO-ROUND WITH 500 RIDERS.
More than 500 failed asylum seekers are being allowed to remain in the UK on state handouts while their claims are considered a second time. The bogus claimants should have been deported several years ago, but officials failed to expel them as they struggled with a backlog of 400,000 cases. As a result of staying so long, the asylum seekers can claim their circumstances have changed since being rejected - and make a new claim. They can then return to a life of legal aid, free housing and £40 a week in benefits while the claim is reconsidered.
FRANCE GETS TOUGH.
Tough new asylum laws in France could trigger a new wave of refugees across the channel. The UK will seem even more of a soft touch. The new French system will process asylum claims within two months and provide a new category of subsidy protection. This will give lesser rights than full asylum and refugees will have to renew their resident permits every year. Other refugees will be returned home. In Britain bogus asylum cheats can count on receiving at least two years of benefits before their claim is processed.
HOW ASYLUM CHALLENGES ARE CLOGGING UP THE COURTS
Legal challenges by hundreds of asylum seekers are clogging up the High Court and costing taxpayers vast amounts of money, a senior judge revealed on the 15th October 2003. Mr Justice Maurice Kay said 800 judicial reviews had been lodged this year alone by refugees - a quarter of all such cases - and warned of the significant impact on the courts work. A vast amount of money is being expended on litigation, much of which ought to be avoidable and which is clogging up the processes of the Administrative Court. The legal row centres on how destitute an asylum seeker needs to be before their legal rights are breached.
LOTTERY MONEY HELPING TERRORISTS.
Controversial asylum campaigners are still flouting the lottery rules by using a £340,000 grant to launch attacks on the Government. The National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns caused a storm last year after being awarded lottery cash but using the funds to stop terrorists being deported. MP's are demanding to know why political statements are still being posted on the NCADC website.
Ex-race equality leader and JP is jailed for asylum con
FORMER magistrate Alf Webley was jailed for two years yesterday after being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the Home Office by gaining illegal permits for asylum seekers.
Webley lied to officials using a friend's address as a college in order to claim that nine illegal immigrants, one of whom he was living with, were students, a court heard.
Divorced Webley, 56, a director of Wycombe Race Equality Council from November 1973 and a magistrate on the bench at High Wycombe, had pleaded not guilty. But a jury at Oxford Crown Court took just two hours to convict him after a two-week trial.
The con was uncovered when the Home Office became suspicious of the college they had never seen any advertisements for.
Wye Valley Institute, the fictitious college, was in fact the home of accomplice Isa Ibrahim in Cater Road, Lane End. Ibrahim, who admitted conspiracy to defraud the Home Office at an earlier hearing and will be sentenced today, told detectives Webley was behind the ruse, passing him false applications which he forwarded to the authorities on elaborate college letter-headed paper.
A BRITISH woman who recruited young British Asian women in shopping centres for bogus marriages with Indian men that helped the latter to skip immigration procedures has been found guilty at Isleworth Crown Court.
Jaswinder Gill, 41, arranged marriages, which took place in Britain and India, for Indian men wishing to enter or remain in the UK. She recruited young women to take part in the scam, and was paid over £10,000 a time. Working with her husband Dharshan Gill, 40, Jaswinder procured young British brides by promising them temporary work as models in India.
They were both arrested in 2004, after the Met`s Operation Maxim uncovered the fraud.
Detective Sergeant Gerri Mannion, who led the investigation to arrest Gill, said: ‘These marriages were a charade - arranged between perfect strangers who were coached by Gill to convince registrars of their intentions to live as man and wife in the UK.’
100 law firms milking legal aid in asylum cases.
A hundred law firms of Londinistan are milking the legal aid system on behalf of asylum seekers, ministers admitted last night. One hundred out of 372 companies in Londinistan who specialise in making money from asylum applications are classed by the Legal Service Commission as 'poor quality' and risk having their legal aid contracts rescinded due to wasting taxpayers money on hopeless cases. The legal aid bill for asylum cases has shot up from £74 million to £181 million. Each initial asylum application costs the taxpayer £900 in legal aid bills.
£16,000 IS THE AMOUNT THE AVERAGE ASYLUM FAMILY GETS EACH YEAR - TAX FREE.
Families of asylum seekers many just economic migrants are getting more than £16,000 in tax-free handouts each year it was revealed on the 15th December 2003. Immigrants are better of than newly-qualified teachers. An average asylum family gets £1,340 a week - the after tax equivalent to a salary of £20,500.
The figure includes cash benefits and housing given to an average couple with 2.13 children - but the burden to the NHS, schools or the costs to the Home Office and Courts processing the asylum claims is NOT included.
The cost to the taxpayers is over £5 million each day!
Britain took almost one in five of the Western World's asylum scum in 2002, it was revealed yesterday. We top the league table with 110,700 asylum scum accepted last year. This was 1 in 3 of those coming to Europe and almost as many as Germany plus France put together.
ASYLUM LEAGUE GUESS WHO IS TOP?

Calmly, with compelling detail the OECD exposes the utter failure of the asylum policy in a nation with no control over its borders. Britain is numero uno destination for asylum seekers with the number of refugee coming here greater than a large country like the USA receives. We take a third of Europe's asylum scum and a fifth of the developed worlds. These figures exclude the number of illegal immigrants that have been smuggled in. It is estimated that 1 in 20 people in the UK can be classed as a foreigner. We have been thwarted by our judges interpretation of the Human Rights Act their lust for money and lack of patriotism all being factors. The courts are likely to throw any legislation out that will cut the number of illegal immigrants living here. We will always be top of the charts in future OECD reports.
GOVERNMENT SPENDS £1.7 MILLION JAILING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TRYING TO LEAVE UK.
Seventy-five asylum seekers have been thrown in jail ... for trying to get out of Britain. Taxpayers once again have to foot the multi-million pound bill. This year 49 have been arrested and a lot more are expected soon as border checks are stepped up. Authorities insist on taking asylum seekers to court rather than deporting them immediately. Only when they have served a six-month prison sentence costing the taxpayer £14,000 are the illegal migrants kicked out of Britain.
Many of those arrested have had their asylum claims rejected and want to try their luck in another country. Others are failed applicants who will try to smuggle themselves in with a new identity. In addition to the jail costs, the process incurs massive legal aid bills for court appearances. The 75 cases in 2003 cost the taxpayer over £1 million pounds. We have had 49 cases this year so far.
£6.5 million Asylum trial farce.
A trial of snake gang people smugglers which exposed the shambles of our asylum system has collapsed costing the taxpayer's 6.5 million pounds.
Three key witnesses, all illegal immigrants, have disappeared without trace. One of the three men standing trial accused of links to snakehead gangs, was granted permission to stay in the UK while he was actually still in the dock.
Restaurant owner Guo Chen openly admitted he arrived in the UK illegally with the help from gangsters. His restaurant employed at least four illegal immigrants. Yet while he and his nephew were accused of laundering 5.2 million pounds for Snakeheads and assisting illegal immigration into the country, Chen was given leave to stay in the UK permanently.
In effect one part of the Home Office was prosecuting him and another section allowing him to stay.
LABOUR WELCOME ANOTHER 10,000 FROM BANGLADESH - EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE SAME NUMBER CLAIMING DOLE.
Ten thousand Bangladeshis are being allowed to come to this country despite the fact that we have the same number of their countrymen claiming dole in this country. The influx is down to a permit system which is supposed only to admit temporary staff to fill vacancies which can't me met by resident workers. Demand for permits in Bangladesh have been so great that disturbances broke out. The official figures show that there are already 10,000 jobless Bangladeshis in Britain. According to the 2001 census, of some 25,000 Bangladeshi men aged between 16 and 24 , 40 percent were unemployed - a total of 10,000.
ASYLUM CHILDREN REACH BRITAIN IN THEIR THOUSANDS.
Thousands of unaccompanied children seeking asylum are arriving in Britain, placing strain on schools, hospitals and social services. A record 6,200 reached our shores last year, six times more than when Labour came to power in 1977. The bill for the taxpayer caring for the youngsters, each of whom earns trafficking gangs around £10,000 is estimated at £150 million a year, with the burden falling hardest on the channel ports. In Kent which receives the most under 18's the cost of asylum support has soared from £250,000 six years ago to £56.4 million last year. That included a £30 million bill for unaccompanied children.
AFGHAN FOILED 16 TIMES BUT WON'T GIVE UP.
An Afghan who has been caught 16 times trying to smuggle himself into Britain aboard a boat from Belgium vowed last night: ' I'll be back'. Haroon said he will reach the promised land and is speaking for another 50 Afghans whom he is squatting with in Zeebrugge. If we reach Londinistan then our troubles will be over he says. We expect a good life there , a free house and free food. No identification papers or documents to worry about. It's always been like that - everybody knows it. He admitted his reason for leaving Afghanistan was not persecution and admitted he was an illegal immigrant. He said ' haven't we got the right to be happy' . My parents hope to come and live with me later on when I get a house in Londinistan. Hartoon says he will keep on trying to get to Britain until he is dead.
GANG MADE £50 MILLION SMUGGLING 6,000 IMMIGRANTS INTO BRITAIN.
A five-strong gang who smuggled 6,000 illegal immigrants into the UK were jailed for a total of 23 years yesterday. Judge Dawn Freedman said their human trafficking which earned over £50 million , posed serious risks to national security. A Sikh extremist terrorist was one of the people smuggled in. Harrow Crown Court had been told that the racket appeared to centre on the Indian Consulate General in Birmingham. One official there was paid to process bogus documents and steal genuine ones.
BRITAIN'S LOST BILLIONS.
The British economy is losing more than £3.5 billion a year as migrant workers send money home to their families, MPs have been told. The figure is bound to raise fresh doubts about controversial Government plans to encourage more foreign workers to come here. Ministers believe Britain can help tackle Third World poverty by allowing thousands more low-skilled migrant workers into the country so they can send money back home as well. The scheme would involve giving temporary work permits to people from the poorest countries in the world. The number of fruit pickers and seasonal farm workers has expanded from 10,000 five years ago to 25,000.
The startling £3.5 billion figure was revealed as two senior civil servants gave evidence of the idea to the Commons international development select committee.
BRITAIN HAD 513,000 MIGRANTS LAST YEAR ( LEGAL ONES).
According to the new count, 513,000 economic migrants arrived last year. In 2001 this was only 480,000. 95,000 of these were expatriates returning home. 31 percent of arrivals came from the Commonwealth , 12 percent from the E.U and 38 percent from other countries. Around 174,000 foreigners left the country - which means we have an extra 244,500 living here. 186,000 Britons left the country. The figures show the influx has quadrupled since 1993. The Governments Actuary's department said 130,000 people per year will arrive. Since 1998 - 1,034,000 non-British immigrants have arrived while 246,000 British have left the country. The figures are the highest ever recorded in our history and the trend is still sharply upwards. The genuine level is likely to be much higher because the Government's figures includes neither illegal immigrants nor visa overstayers.
THE SPEEDBOAT GANG.
Maidstone Crown Court heard how Moldovan Anatolie Melnicov masterminded an operation using two sailboats and a speedboat to bring illegal migrants from Eastern Europe across the channel to small unpatrolled ports under the cover of darkness. The court was told how forged documents, such as passports and driving licences and foreign I.D cards would be used to apply for a temporay tax card - which provides proof of residence in Britain. Melicov's gang, including at least another three from former Soviet Bloc countries made 11 trips to France bringing back five or six people each time. The human cargo paid £1,650 each netting the gang £100,000 during the ten months from August 2005 to June 2006. Melnicov was convicted of rape in Moldova in 1982. He has been sentenced for eight years.
INTO THE UK VIA THE MATERNITY WARD.
A Wealthy businesswomen flew from her native China to have her baby in Belfast in a bid to secure British residency. Man Levette Chen is hoping to exploit a loophole that says anyone born on the island of Ireland is an Irish and therefore a European Union citizen. Her daughter now aged three would thus secure the family the right to stay in Britain. Mrs Chen acknowledges the reason for her journey to Ireland. ' Catherine was born in Belfast because we were advised that this was the best way to get residence rights in Britain' she said. The European Courts of Justice will deliver a verdict next year. David Blunkett last night said we need more migrants and said dealing with immigration was one of the key challenges of our time. He warned that immigrants can easy get in via back doors like applying for college but not taking their places.
POLICE AND IMMIGRATION SERVICE CAN'T COPE.
After a week huddled in a back of a lorry, 12 economic migrants all males were relieved to reach Britain. Police had no idea what to do with them so told them to catch a train to Croydon to register with the Immigration Service HQ. Official could not confirm if the ten Iranians and two Iraqi's arrived and admitted such event happen all the time. The immigration service admitted it can't cope with the number of migrants arriving by lorry and is allowing many to roam free. Lack of resources means it is impossible to attend all call-outs.
Judge challenges asylum cash curb
A High Court Judge gave a clear hint that he is preparing to outlaw new rules scrapping thousands of benefits for asylum seekers. The Home Secretary David Blunkett has ordered that anyone who fails to claim refugee status as soon as they arrive in Britain will not be entitled to cash or housing.But refugee groups say the move has left thousands of refugees staving and homeless. Yesterday they launched a High Court challenge to the new law, a received a big boost from Mr. justice Collins.Mr. Collins said " what lies behind this is the hope that asylum seekers will go away". "If we starve them then they will go home, which in itself is a breach of Article 3 (of the European Convention of Human Rights)".
Why do people come?
The motivations of many are perfectly laudable: they are looking for a better
life and have risked much to achieve it. These are instincts that have inspired
migration across the centuries. It is not the fault of the Romanian gipsy that
Britain offers food and shelter and a decent health service to those desperate
to escape the privations of their homeland. But this does not make them political
refugees. Rather, they are looking for work and money to send home. They come
to Britain because there are established communities from the countries that
provide most asylum seekers and Rinnan will have a knowledge of English.
It is also known that while it may be hard to get into Britain, it is east to
stay. Two events in recent history has also encouraged this movement. The fall
of the Berlin Wall made travel through Russia and eastern Europe possible once
more: and the Schengen agreement among 12 E.U nations removed the borders in
western continental Europe.
What has been done?
Since asylum numbers began to rise rapidly in the early 1990s there have been
three major pieces of legislation.
[] The Asylum and Immigration Act 1996. This had three main objectives: to change
asylum procedures so as to deal more quickly with allegedly bogus claims; to
combat immigration racketeering, in part through new offences; and, to restrict
the social security and other economic rights previously available. Those who
did not apply at port of entry were denied benefits. However, the courts undermined
this by insisting that other laws meant no one should be left destitute and
it was left to local authorities to pick up the bill for looking after asylum
seekers, The Act also established a white list of safe countries designated
by the Home Secretary as ones in which there is, in general, no serious risk
of persecution.
[] The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. This Act introducing a one-stop appeal
system requiring an adjudicator considering an asylum appeal also to deal with
any other appeal able matters raised by the applicant, such as human rights
appeals. Under the slogan "firmer, faster, fairer", it aimed to stop
the flow of applicants, ease councils of the financial burden imposed as a result
of the previous Act and relieve the housing and social pressures in London and
south-east England by dispersing asylum seekers around the country. The
Act abolished the "white list" but set up a reception centre at Oakington,
to "fast-track" asylum seekers from countries such as the Czech Republic
and Romania which are not judged repressive. The Act also replace benefits
with vouchers.
[] Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill 2002. This scrapped the vouchers
introduced in 1999 but which had caused anger among Labour activists, especially
the trade unions, It also repealed the provisions giving asylum seekers the
automatic right to a bail hearing conferred in the 1999 Act It also effectively
reinstated the "white list" scrapped in 1999 to allow "clearly
unfounded" asylum claims to be dealt more swiftly. It is also in the process
of setting up accommodation centres.
What next?
The European Union is trying to draw up a common asylum and immigration policy,
though it has so far taken three years without any final decisions being taken.
Officials are working on a directive that will make it easier to send
asylum seekers home - including to countries considered "unsafe" if
part of the country is secure. Refugees would be given temporary protection
and be excluded from asylum it they had committed crimes with an allegedly political
objective. Other elements of the plan include tighter controls of the E.U border.
HEALTH TOURISTS KILLING OUR NHS.
Health tourists who travel to Britain for treatment are costing the NHS at least £400 million per year. A study by a Londinistan Hospital trust claims foreigners who have no right to free care find it easy to exploit lax procedures and ignorance of the rules amongst staff.
They use a range of tricks to sidestep the rules including ranting and raving at staff if caught. The trust which has not been named, estimates that it spent over £220,000 treating 72 foreign students over 3 months last year. The report says this is probably a fraction of the real cost, since many overseas patients pass through the Trust undetected.
Over 14 months, officials at the hospital interviewed 514 patients who aroused suspicion and found that 234 were not eligible for care. Of these, 21 had fake passports, 11 had fake asylum certificates, 146 had out of date visa's. Most walked out and tried another hospital when challenged.
AFGHANS AND IRAQI DECIDE THEY WON'T GO HOME EVEN IF WE PAY THEM.
Mr Blunkett's plan to 'bribe' Afghan and Iraqi asylum seekers to go home with free plane tickets and grants is proving a costly fiasco. The Home Office hoped that thousands would accept payments of up to £2,500 per family (cost them much more to get to the UK) to return now that Saddam and the Taliban have been toppled. Of the 26,000 Afghans who have taken refuge in the UK only 40 have taken up the offer. Only one Afghan has applied for the scheme in the past four months. With the 50,000 Iraqi asylum seekers the story is the same - only eight boarding the first flight last month. The failure of Mr Blunkett's policy is likely to cost taxpayers millions of pounds as the Home Office will have to resort to compulsory removals - with the expense of charter flights, security staff, legal costs and detaining the economic migrants. Last month the NOT Governing Government spent £130,000 flying 47 economic migrants back to Kabul, with hardly any other seats on the aeroplane occupied. Fewer than 200 Afghans have been sent home in the last four months. One flight in June was cancelled as only six could be rounded up. At this rate it will take over 30 years to send the failed Afghan asylum seekers home.Most Afghan asylum seekers have been judged NOT to be genuine refugees but just economic migrants, but until April nobody had been deported.
TEN TIMES MORE FAILED ASYLUM SEEKERS CAN STAY.
The number of failed asylum seekers who win appeals has risen tenfold since Labour came to power. More than 1 in 5 now succeeds in reversing the decision of immigration officers to throw them out. Six years ago the figure was 1 in 17 , when 1,200 refugees overturned an initial refusal. Last year 14,000 refugees overturned the decision even though they failed to convince the immigration staff that they were genuine. The volume of appeals has trebled meaning bogus refugees spend years extra here. The figures come from Migration watch UK. They reveal how much of a soft touch our asylum system has become. The Government has given no explanation for the huge rise in such a short time.
The number of appeals has reached over 65,000 a year, a fall in the standard of adjudication means that asylum will be granted to thousands who don't deserve it. Also the number of worthless appeals has risen to more than 50,000 last year. The Government has raised the target for appeals to be heard each month from 4,000 to 6,000 which means that the adjudicators have to cut corners.
£18,000 FOR EACH ASYLUM SEEKER.
Every asylum sponger costs British taxpayers more than £18,000 the Government has admitted. The vast sum - more than the annual income of most Britons - covers legal aid, housing and food for refugees, as well as the thousands of bureaucrats needed to process their claims. There was a record 84,000 claims this year pushing the bill for taxpayers close to £2billion. The bill will soar even more as councils struggle with new legislation requiring them to care for young asylum seekers up to the age of 24. Council tax has already rose vastly due to the rises in Police, Fire and Council staff wages and pensions. Council can't keep the money they get from non-residential sources this go back to the Government. Yet the dole scroungers get free houses of the councils, get their rents and council tax paid indefinitely whilst running businesses from home.
IN A WHOLE YEAR ONLY ONE BOSS IS CONVICTED OVER ILLEGAL WORKERS.
New figures show that only one employer was convicted of giving jobs to illegal immigrants over a full year. There are hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants working in Britain so why only one conviction? Does somebody want them here?
The ease in which foreigners side step the law is the driving force behind the asylum crisis attracting economic migrants from all round the globe. Between 1997 and 2001, 34 employers were convicted of employing foreigners who had no right to work in Britain , out of thousands of companies that are known to be employing illegal workers often below the minimum wage. 65 prosecutions were brought in 2001 but only one led to a conviction. In theory companies face a £5,000 fine for every illegal employee.
Judges destroying role of Parliament.
Britain's unaccountable and un-elected judges are openly, and with increasing arrogance and perversity [ what do you expect from men who wear dresses] , usurping the role of Parliament putting the rights of bogus asylum seekers and enemies of the state before the rights of British citizens. They are pursuing a political correct agenda, in their zeal to interpret European legislation. Most asylum cases are bogus yet yesterday the High Court declared that David Blunkett's wish to deny benefits to anybody not promptly claiming asylum was a breach of their Human rights. Britain's top policeman wants tougher boarder controls and a system that properly vets those entering the U.K. Without this he warns that the terrorist will succeed.Many asylum seekers have turned down the chance to stay in France or Germany - because the benefits are much lower.
1.5 MILLION AFRICANS BOUND FOR EUROPE.
One and a half million North Africans are queuing up to take their chances on the refugee trail , intelligence sources revealed on the 23rd October 2003. Italian security chiefs painted a horrible picture of human trafficking at a parliamentary briefing on the country's illegal immigration problem. They estimate that one and a half million immigrants are waiting to leave North Africa and head for Europe. In Italy, asylum seekers get a lot less benefits than those who reach the UK. Thousands will use Italy as a staging post before heading to Britain.
ASYLUM CHEATS TO BE JAILED BUT TAXPAYERS STILL PAYING FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
Bogus asylum seekers (Economic migrants) who tear up their passports on their way to Britain (for welfare handouts) could be jailed for two years, David Blunkett the Home secretary announced on 27th October 2003. A major reform has been announced to try and stop the flood of economic migrants to our shores. Critics don't believe the new laws will stop in blocking bogus refugees from abusing the UK's asylum system. They warn that taxpayers will have to support dependants when the head of the family is in jail. An Asylum Bill will be discussed in the Queen's speech next month. It will be a criminal offence to arrive here without a valid reason for having no documentation. Are there enough prison places for them? No. Will there dependants be given benefits instead? Yes. Will there children go to school, become part of the community and therefore be allowed to stay indefinitely? Yes. Will those who have been jailed be sent home after their sentences? No. Will these new proposals be declared illegal under the Human Rights Act? Yes. Other countries act decisively but Britain indulges in rhetoric. No wonder we are the top refugee destination.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FREED WITH A MAP TO IMMIGRATION.
The game looked up for 16 illegal immigrants when they were arrested after arriving in Britain. The Indians were held after workers on an industrial estate caught them jumping off a lorry. Workers surrounded them with fork-lifts whilst a security officer called the Police. Immigration staff said to the Police that no staff were available to collect them. Immigration told the Police to give the illegal immigrants a map to the immigration centre in Croydon 40 miles away and then release them. The illegal immigrants come from the India sub-continent and therefore don't qualify for asylum. If they have disappeared it will be very hard to find them again!
63 ILLEGALS SEIZED BUT ONLY 1 DEPORTED.
The failure to crackdown on illegal foreign workers was exposed on the 21st October 2003 as it emerged that out of 63 Chinese caught only one had been deported. Ministers admitted that 62 are still in the UK. None is in custody and no employers have been prosecuted. 33 of those arrested immediately claimed asylum and so can't be deported. Another 16 are already asylum seekers. 4 were failed asylum seekers. 10 were immigration offenders. The 62 illegal workers are now subject to a reporting regime - they have to report to Immigration Service officers or police station every few days. On the other days the illegal immigrants may still be working!
DISABLED MIGRANTS HAVE MORE RIGHTS TO HOMES THAN BRITONS.
Disabled asylum seekers MUST be given priority over British citizens in the queue for council housing, the House of Lords ruled on the 26th January 2004. The landmark decision by the Law Lords means would-be refugees with disabilities can demand support from a local authority - even if Britons would not qualify for the same help.
The announcement came on a day a report by the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee said most asylum seekers arriving in Britain were economic migrants with no genuine claim to refugee status. The latest controversy centres on the case of Abdelaziz Mani. a Algerian who claimed housing from Lambeth because he has one leg half the length of his other and requires prosthetics. Asylum seekers are normally housed and supported by the National Asylum Support Service, with costs coming from the Treasury not from local council taxpayers. Lambeth Council has been forced to give Mr Mani a special ground-floor room in a warden controlled former Georgian mansion block used to house vulnerable people. The decision will dismay councils across the country but will effect those in London and the South-East most because more asylum seekers are housed here. Councils now face a string of similar claims from asylum seekers with disabilities who want to avoid being dispersed across the country.
Forty thousand asylum seekers ( economic migrants) were handed the right to free housing anywhere in Britain. They may choose where in the country they want to live and apply to the local council the law lords have ruled. This decision applies only to those given permission to stay and is a severe blow to the dispersal policy. Councils in Londinistan and south East will face a boom in demand for housing and thus council tax will rise to pay for this!
MORE than 20 law firms have become "asylum millionaires" this year,
thanks to a surge in legal work in Britain's chaotic immigration system.
Each of the leading companies will earn more than £1million this year in legal
aid fees from asylum cases, the Evening Standard can reveal.
The 21 firms 17 of which are in London -- are the biggest beneficiaries of an
explosion in the appeals process that has seen the legal aid bill for asylum
cases more than double in a year, to £138 million in 2001-2002. Figures for
the current financial year are set to top £150 million as the process struggles
to , contend with record levels 'of' asylum claims -- more than 7500 a month
in the Home Office last set of figures.
One leading law firm, which set up a suite of stylish Soho offices; is handling
2,000 asylum cases, and is set to attract more than £6 million in legal aid.
Tory shadow home secretary Oliver Letwin accused the Government of not doing
enough to stop Britain being "a magnet" for refugees. He added: "This
illustrates yet again the huge costs that flow from Britain's chaotic asylum
system. "It also demonstrates the underlying problem with the whole structure of
our asylum arrangements. We have been saying for a long time that the Government
has not done enough to stop Britain being a magnet for asylum seekers."
The firms netting more than £1 million each have benefited, from efforts to
speed up asylum cases. While unresolved cases have been cut from more than 100,000
to below 40,000, the result is a logjam in the appeals system -- meaning more
work for lawyers and higher legal bills.
Steve Orchard, chief executive of the Legal Services Commission, which hands
out legal aid, said: "Appeals can be dealt with more effectively if asylum
seekers are represented. "One of our objectives has been to encourage the good firms to give honest,
good quality advice and to kick out the cowboys -- that process is not yet complete. "We have got rid of over 30 [firms] so far. About 460 firms are contracted
for immigration work but there are still others we want to remove from the process.
A report by Public spending watchdog the National Audit Office showed how one
firm was caught trying to dupe taxpayers out of £700,000 in false claims. The
report found that a third of all firms claiming aid inflated their bills by
at least 20 per cent, overestimating the time spent on cases.
The Government hopes the closure of Sangatte and reforms in the Nationality,
Immigration and Asylum Act will streamline asylum appeals so cases have to be
settled inside two weeks. Appeals will be heard by a single High Court judge,
and lawyers who bring eases of no merit will be unpaid. A new network of accommodation
centers will process cases quickly and prevent asylum seekers draining the resources
of local authorities.
But Home Secretary David Blunkett has acknowledged his greatest chance of reforming
the asylum system lies in reducing the number of people
who make it to Britain seeking refuge.
The Home Office has already relaxed work permit rules to allow more economic
migrants to enter the UK legally. This is designed to stop foreigners who are
drawn to Britain for a better life falsely exploiting the system.
Firms expected to be paid more than £1 million this financial year for asylum
work

Mrs Yemshaw told the court that her husband — a 40-year-old bus driver born, like her, in Ethiopia — had shouted in front of their two children, failed to treat her like a human (whatever that may mean) and hadn’t given her any housekeeping money. She also said she was frightened that he might take the children away from her. Does this amount to violence? Lady Hale thought so. In what strikes me as an extraordinary judgment, with worrying implications for the way we’re governed, she said the meaning of the word had moved on since Parliament passed the Act in 1996.
Violence, she said, ‘is capable of bearing several meanings and applying to many different types of behaviour. These can change and develop over time’. Now, I can imagine that in some relationships — and I exclude my dear friends — it must be pretty miserable to live with a loud-mouthed, domineering partner (although Mrs Yemshaw’s husband protests that he ‘never even screamed or swore at her’). So the last thing I want is to make light of it. But the point is that when our elected representatives passed the Housing Act 1996, they were aware that there are degrees of unpleasant behaviour in a marriage or partnership, ranging from mild carping or nagging, all the way up through shouting and swearing to actual, physical violence.
They had to decide at which point on that scale of unhappiness the State, in its mercy, would offer victims of ill-treatment the statutory right to a separate home. And since large sums of public money were at stake, they set it high — at the point of ‘violence’ or the credible threat of it. The rot started with the Human Rights Act, enforcing in British Courts a European Convention so loosely worded that it offers endless scope for judicial lawmaking on the sly. As Lady Hale seems to accept, they meant physical violence. After all, if Parliament had intended to offer new homes to partners who’d been shouted at or denied housekeeping money, wouldn’t it have said so? Meanwhile international investigators have uncovered evidence of the European connections of the Somali pirate clans and at least five have family living in the UK.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ONLY ALLOWS ONE OPINION IT'S THE ENEMY OF FREE SPEECH.
British teachers are also reluctant to discuss the medieval Crusades, in which Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem: lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.
In Cheshire, two students at the Alsager High School were punished by their teacher for refusing to pray to Allah as part of their religious education class.
In Scotland, 30 non-Muslim children from the Parkview Primary School recently were required to visit the Bait ur Rehman Ahmadiyya mosque in the Yorkhill district of Glasgow (videos here and JEWTUBE HAS REMOVED VIDEO here). At the mosque, the children were instructed to recite the shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith which states: "There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger." Muslims are also demanding that Islamic preachers be sent to every school in Scotland to teach children about Islam, ostensibly in an effort to end negative attitudes about Muslims.
British schools are increasingly dropping the Jewish Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, according to a report entitled, Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills.
British teachers are also reluctant to discuss the medieval Crusades, in which Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem: lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.
In an effort to counter "Islamophobia" in British schools, teachers now are required to teach "key Muslim contributions such as Algebra and the number zero" in math and science courses, even though the concept of zero originated in India.
In the East London district of Tower Hamlets, four Muslims were recently <>jailed for attacking a local white teacher who gave religious studies lessons to Muslim girls; and 85 out of 90 schools have implemented "no pork" policies.
Schools across Britain are, in fact, increasingly banning pork from lunch menus to avoid offending Muslim students. Hundreds of schools have adopted a "no pork" policy, according to a recent report by the London-based Daily Telegraph.
The culinary restrictions join a long list of politically correct changes that gradually are bringing hundreds of British primary and secondary education into conformity with Islamic Sharia law.
The London Borough of Haringey, a heavily Muslim district in North London, is the latest school district to switch to a menu that is fully halal (religiously permissible for Muslims).
The Haringey Town Council recently issued "best practice" advice to all schools in its area to "ban all pork products in order to cater for the needs of staff and pupils who are not permitted contact with these for religious reasons."
Local politicians have criticized the new policy as pandering to Muslims, and local farmers, who have pointed out that all schools in Britain already offer vegetarian options, have accused school administrators of depriving non-Muslim children of a choice.
Following an outcry from non-Muslim parents, the town council removed the guidance from its website, although the new policy remains in place.
Lawyers have set up shop in dozens of prisons, encouraging inmates to claim compensation for not having the right to vote. They have already collected 2,500 clients seeking payouts at the European Court of Human Rights. If David Cameron loses a looming constitutional battle with the Strasbourg-based court over prisoner voting, tens of thousands more could join the queue.

SENDING YOBS TO ALTON TOWERS AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.
Fifty teenage yobs are being given a day out at Alton Towers at taxpayers expense to try to keep them out of trouble. A Labour council is spending more than £1,000 on the outing for some of its most disruptive yobs the day between Hallowe'en. Labour run Knowsley Council on Merseyside has agreed to fund the day trip to the theme park. The Council is paying the £26 entrance fees - a total of £1,300. Tesco and Asda are supplying pack lunches.
COUNCIL TAX BILLS COULD RISE BY 12 PERCENT NEXT YEAR.
Householders face another inflation busting council tax hike next year, local government chiefs have warned. Average bills could rise by 12 percent. The average council tax bill for the average family would climb well over £1,000 a year. Council tax has increased over 70 percent since Labour came to power in 1997. Mortgage rates are also predicted to rise by 1.5 percent to 5 percent next year.50,000 REFUGEES TO STAY IN UK
An estimated 50,000 refugees could be allowed to stay in the UK in a bid to save support payments and legal aid, Home Secretary David Blunkett has said. Most of the eligible families are failed asylum seekers who had exhausted the main appeals process but had not yet been deported. Shadow Home Secretary Mr Letwin said: "This decision will make Britain a magnet for asylum seekers."
AMNESTY FOR EU TEN.
Eastern Europeans living illegally in Britain will be able to stay once their countries join the EU next May the Home Office minister confirmed on the 19th November 2003.
She told M.P's that once the ten new nations become members, any asylum claims from their citizens that are being processed will be defunct. Under EU law they will be able to stay and claim full UK benefits even though it was likely that the original claim would have been rejected.
MILLION ON HARD DRUGS IN BRITAIN.
The number of people taking hard drugs has toppled a million for the first time, figures revealed on the 4th December 2003. Overall drug use over the 2002 period has risen to 3.7 million people.
There are 1,028,000 uses of class A drugs like heroin, cocaine, crack and ecstasy . Cocaine is used by 642,000 users. 13 percent of adults questioned admitted to using a class A drug at sometime.

SADDAM'S FALL FAILS TO STEM ASYLUM TIDE.
Hundreds of economic migrants from Iraq are continuing to arrive in Britain despite the removal of the infidel Saddam Hussein. More than 220 apply here each month. Few of the 40,000 Iraqi economic migrants have returned home to help rebuild their country since they arrived after the 1991 Gulf War. Only 30 Iraqi's per month are being deported. Thus the ratio of those arriving to being evicted is 7 to 1.
NHS IS HIT BY 200 MILLION POUNDS HIV BILL.
HIV cases have increased rapidly due to immigration from Africa. It is now costing the NHS , 200 million pounds per year. Migrationwatch say its findings bolstered the case to screen long term migrants from countries with high rates of the disease.
£10,000 WASTED ON A LEAFLET FOR WELSH ASYLUM SEEKERS.
A Government leaflet offering advice in Welsh about claiming asylum in Britain was condemned on the 10th August 2004 as a waste of more taxpayers money. Ministers ordered the translation of the leaflet into Welsh knowing full well that not one asylum seeker speaks Welsh. The Government has rigidly stuck to the 1993 Welsh Language Act - another example of crazy Political Correctness gone mad? The Department for Constitutional Affairs is responsible for the leaflet which will cost the taxpayers over £10,000.
Speaking about the money the couple made, Mannion added: ‘We will probably never know the true extent of her activities, but we certainly know that she made a significant amount of money out of these marriages. Over £250,000
IMMIGRATION CRISIS NOW HITTING SPAIN AS WELL.
Spain another great European country saw its population rise by a record 770,000 last year but only 120,000 were to Spanish babies - the other 650,000 were immigrants. Foreigners make up 8.4 percent of Spain's 44 million population. There population is still a lot less than UK and they have more land mass.
More than 150 illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers will be freed from custody after a riot wrecked Britain's biggest detention centre.
John Reid was forced to release the men back on to the streets after a wave of blazes and destruction lasting for more than 18 hours at Harmondsworth, in west London on the 29th November 2006.
TUNNEL ASYLUM BILL HITS £30Million.
British taxpayers face a massive bill for damage to the channel tunnel - caused by asylum seekers in France (A safe country?). A court in the Hague awarded Eurotunnel £30 million compensation - to be forked out by Britain and France. Eurotunnel has spent £17 million beefing up security and has lost £14 million due to delays caused by refugees trying to sneak through the tunnel.
