BBC: One World - No Man's Land

Another perspective of the immigration mess in UK

This report tells the story of people who pay huge sums of money to enter UK illegally in search of a promised better life told to them by 'local agents' back home.

There a literally ten's of thousand of people here from India who are illegal, who have destroyed all their ID (as instructed) and are now completely destitute.
They cannot find any work or accommodation. They cannot be repatriated simply because they have no documentation.
So they live on the street or in the 'sheds with beds' and live a life of crime and drugs.
The UKBA make it just as difficult for them to leave UK as for genuine people to enter UK

Our urban centres become ever more dangerous and intimidating, crime continues to increase.
These people have no desire to remain but no way to escape and the lawabiding taxpayer ends up as the biggest loser again.

Interesting report. Don't watch it if you already have high blood pressure.

Round them up, fill cargo planes with them and fly them back to India. If the Indians kick up, trade & travel ban plus break off diplomatic relations. They need British Steel and Jaguar/Landrover more than we need a load of destitute, criminal wasters

why is it difficult for them to leave? go to the embassy and get a passport

things are getting harder for some

According to the BBC report it's not that easy to obtain a passport from the Embassy if you are unable to provide any form of ID.

Securing the needed ID can take years and cost a substantial amount.
That's what was said.

Quite right I forgot that one. As you say Stevie should be stopped right now. Yet another example of allowing crap to walk all over us.

Just watched it - They admit to being Indians and most of them want to go home, the UK & Indian authorities know they are Indian, this business about obtaining a passport is waffle. The Indians just need to accept 'em back into India without a passport - article 13 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, reads "Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country."

They should be rounded up and chained to the Indian High Commission
