We are all paying for the dishonesty of others, unfortunately (and you can bet your bottom dollar that those trying to fiddle the British system were/are not 'native' Brits at all ).

Sham marriages, fake passports driving licences, birth certs and other documents produced in 'fraud factories' in Lahore, Lagos and Luton.

I can tell you that my own brother was tasked with sacking a certain Pakistani official working in one of our overseas visa sections, who had been SELLING visas.
