If you arrive here and say that someone back in your home country is trying to kill you then there is a very very good chance that you will be granted political asylum and find yourself open to the bounty of benefits that the UK has to offer. Some (and I stress not all) illegal immigrants are responsible for a lot of crime...muggings...robberies....burglaries...thefts.
Yet 6 men (from a Commonwealth country) who have reasonably well paid jobs, pay their taxes and lead what I would imagine to be law abiding lives are told to leave the country by September the 7th and cannot appeal until after that date.
Three of them have been living here and paying taxes for about 3 years!!!
I actually quite envy them in a way. They have earned a living playing a bit of footy and they get a free plane ticket home. I will have to buy mine!!
