Slight thread creep but I watched an episode of UK Borders on Sky yesterday. They had picked up a Nigerian man with a forged passport and were interviewing him.
He claimed to be 15 years old bit was obviously 30-35 years old. He had a list of questions and answers written down which he said was given to him in Lagos by "Mr London" these, of course were lies to enable him entry to UK.
He said he was a student but gave a totally wrong year for when his study started and could not name his college.
When they said he would be refused entry he suddenly started wailing and saying he could not go back to Nigeria as his parents had been murdered by burglars and he would be killed.
The half wit Border agent suggested Asylum and then confirmed this with her superior they said , as he was 15, he would be handed over to Social Services.
The voice over then said he had been housed in Croydon while he was being checked out but had absconded and his whereabouts are unknown!
I just cannot believe this goes on surely false passport, Nigerian man pretending to be a child straight back same day end of!
