About time some proper fines were levied on these prosperous businesses.

They've been taking the piss for far too long. :mad:

its most likely the fines are less than what these businesses have saved by employing these illegals in cheap labour,

£25,000 for eight illegal workers is just over £3k per illegal. They were so deterred they were caught with another 5 in July just 3 months later. Should be the maximum £10k per head for the second offence and bang the owners up :cwm23:
