I think it's disgusting. I applied for the government back career development loan for £5k for my type rating (it was subsidised by my employer) with a guaranteed well paid job at the end of it. Despite having a good credit score and being a home owner my loan was rejected and I had get my family to have a whip round to loan the money. Yet this guy gets this loan approved? Interesting.

I've just read the Daily Mail story.
Amazing..

He said his father had abandoned him and his younger brother Abiy, 20, after their asylum claim was rejected in 2004. He also said his older brother Benyam, now 28, looked after them for three years before leaving them stranded in 2007.

But on Monday, he had the pair listed as ‘friends’ on Facebook, with Benyam stating on his profile that he lives in London.

Mr Kebede’s father has worked as an air traffic controller for Ethiopian Airlines and lives in a three-bedroom house worth £90,000 in a middle-class suburb of Addis Ababa.

The house, which he shares with his wife Tayech Getachew, was built by Mr Bedane after his application for asylum failed in the UK.

A neighbour said the couple had two vehicles – one an 11 seater minibus – and they employ a maid.
It appear flying runs in the family and friends

Registration documents completed when Yonas Kebede enrolled in nursery at Miskaye Hizunan Medhanealem church school confirm his date of birth as the seventh day of the third month of 1980, which is November 17, 1987 in the UK calendar. His baptism certificate confirmed the details.

His uncle, who lived just around the corner, was a pilot for Ethiopian airlines and three of Yonas’s classmates are also now pilots.

Sounds like the chap is onto a winner; gain legitimate European PPL, return home, obtain national commercial ticket, get job with carrier, pay-off loan. What's not to like?

Further revelations indicate that the Ethiopean 19 years old 'child' failed asylum seeker has a father who was or is an Air Traffic controller. Having
also an uncle and friends, all pilots. Bringing up the question of just how incompitent lazy naive or just plain stupid need one be to become a member of the Govt, Judiciary or Local Council.

I know two councilors personally. Both are half wits.

Political correctness gone mad
 
Agree.

There's this foreign family got given a massive house in London for free by th tax payer. They also get loads of money in benefits and so hardly have to work. They have loads of kids all paid for by the tax payer.

But god bless the royal family eh?

CC.....................I can only assume you have a mischievous streak.........but if you are being serious, I'd love you to justify your argument to the much harassed employees of Newcastle council who will be looking for a job when Eric Pickles and his hatchet men have done their worst! I've never had a day out of work thank god......so I've paid my share down the years......but what do you think the chances are of my daughter getting her medicine degree paid for? You really cannot be serious.....no wonder this country is on its knees! If more people "take out" than "put in".......something has to give! IT'S SIMPLE ECONOMICS!!!!!!:ugh:


Look folks, him and his generation are going to be paying for your pensions, healthcare and care homes soon. We need to invest in his generation now so that they pay enough tax to keep us in the manner to which we spoiled first-worlders have become accustomed

Get real, skilling-up the younger generation is an investment for OUR future, look at how much the UK has improved because of immigration over the last fifty years. It was a poor, lazy, broken down, dump when I was growing up, back in the miserable days of three-day weeks, power cuts and 25% inflation

Can I just say that someone I am very close to is an immigration enforcement officer and there is no way that this would happen if the reported facts are true, which given the media they probably aren't.

In fact all of the Wail/Torygraph stories of illegal immigrants doing and claiming this that and the other are always utter bollocks.

Lone_Ranger 13th Nov 2013 20:39

Dave, you just gave a forthright statement of how things are, with absolutely nothing to back it up..........Ironic really, as thats exactly what you are accusing the newspapers of doing

Dave Wilson 13th Nov 2013 21:06

Fair comment Lone, the problem being that if I give specifics then the person who I'm talking about would lose their job. I'm not going to say anymore on the subject as I'm sure you will understand.

Glad to hear its all nonsense - But is the leader of Newcastle City Council - Cllr N. Forbes aware that apparantly its all nonsense ?

Well, if it's all a load of "Right-Wing bollocks" printed by some Tory rag then it's a bit funny how all they're doing is reported what has happened in a public court of law...

Regarding that 'Immigration enforcement officer'. Not connected to that defunct organisation known as the UK Border Agency is he ?. Reported to have some 430,000 immigrant cases still on backlog. If so then it may weaken intentions to convince many of us otherwise.
