However, WHY do people like you have to drag into any debate the EXTREME to try to make your point ?

There are thousands of people driving around without car insurance or driving licences too...even more without lights on their bikes.

So, do you want us to abandon law and order, rules and regulations so that a tiny minority of whining handwringers can correct all the petty injustices they have time on their hands get ulcers over...instead minding their own bloody business ?

This society is (or WAS) run for the GREATER GOOD.
OK Hands up! i suppose it is EXTREME Graham. You being British you are probably fully aware of how easily false identity can be obtained BUT i was just trying to point out to some on here who may not be aware that its so easily possible and at low cost.

I really DO NOT want to "abandon law and order, rules and regulations", infact part of what i am trying to argue is that Immigration officers adhere to "law and order, rules and regulations" for the "GREATER GOOD", in this case the vast majority stopped by them who were clearly NOT illegal immigrants and possibly mostly already British citizens. If the Immigration officers were following their own rules then it would have been for the greater good and probably not even reported in the media in the first place.
