    More dodgy vicars conducting sham weddings

    Can't locate the other thread on this topic so.........................

    Two vicars have been arrested on suspicion of running a sham marriage conspiracy to help illegal immigrants stay in Britain.

    The Rev Brian Shipsides, 54, and the Rev Elwon John, 43, were detained yesterday by police investigating suspected fake weddings at a church in east London.

    The Daily Telegraph told last week how police and Church insiders fear crime gangs are using corrupt vicars to exploit weaknesses in Anglican procedures and help thousands of African men and women gain residency.

    Marriages are so ridiculously priced in the UK anyway

    Just how did people wangle more and more £ out of people for all the nonsense that goes into the day beats me.

    Lots of couples will end in divorce also

    Madness

    However, ridiculous prices will tempt vicars to make a few bob

    Have you been to Primark yet, Steve?

    Cheap clothes but you come out with bags and bags of them

    It's worth it to see your Mahal try them on at home

    All his talk about banning wives and being the boss sounds like the bygone days to me

    Surely one of the best things about Filipina wives (fiancees/girlfriends) is that they are so frugal with money

    Likewise in OUR home, Steve ... WE'RE both what Filipinos might call "thrifty" ... don't believe in squandering money for the sake of it! Neither of us drive, so we don't have a car ... and that's a BIG saving!

    A Church of England vicar has been jailed for four years for his part in Britain's biggest sham marriage fraud to help hundreds of illegal immigrants stay in Britain.
