Man who lent his identity jailed

[sm1971]

This lot are as much scum and filth as "proper criminals" they have evaded procedures and checks to enter the country and could be paedophiles, terrorists, mass murderers or carriers of infectious diseases.

Or they could be model citizens, loving parents, etc pp. We don't know that. All we know is that they came here to work. Nothing wrong with that in itself.

Btw: Spouting accusations like the above is beyond belief. You could at least have read the article.

They are cheating the government out of tax revenue and the legal working age population out of jobs.

That's incorrect. You don't need fake identities to get fake jobs. They used the fake identity to get real jobs and pay real taxes. Had they gotten fake jobs they'd still be here.

So in your book if you are desperate enough to go and live somewhere it's OK to break that countries laws to acheive it ?

No, they are criminals because of that. But scum? Come on, there are far worse people out there.

I've felt for a while that Australia would be a better place for me (they deal with illegals and foreign criminals a bit more robustly there) - I'd better make my way to Indonesia and see if I can jump on a trafficking boat there.

As bitter as you are, maybe a change of scenery would do you good.

Model citizens abide by the law these grubs don't. Of course I read the article - Nigerian engaged in his nations speciality, fraud, is caught and rightly jailed

That's incorrect. You don't need fake identities to get fake jobs. They used the fake identity to get real jobs and pay real taxes. Had they gotten fake jobs they'd still be here.

What's the intricacies of their deception got to do with anything they are illegals and should be turfed out of the country

No, they are criminals because of that. But scum? Come on, there are far worse people out there.

How do we know there's worse out there this lot haven't been checked out. You have a cosy assumption that these people are desperate for work rather than being fugitives and ner do wells. I can't fathom out why you believe the UK should provide employment for all these waifs & strays.

I'm not bitter just a realist who keeps his eyes open and is aware what a dung heap this country has become
