Bogus websites, staged protests and pretend atheists: Inside the fake (UK) Asylum industry

From fake news websites to staged political protests and bogus medical conditions, asylum seekers and the advisers helping them are using an array of fabricated evidence to bolster their fake claims.

It all amounts to a sham industry, which includes charging migrants for advice on how to pose as gay to claim asylum, as exposed by the first part of our undercover investigation into the immigration system.

Other techniques include paying to write articles in atheist magazines and hiring someone to pretend to be a same-sex partner.

At an office off the busy Mile End Road, in east London, on a Tuesday evening in early April, our undercover reporter was receiving an instruction course in how to apply for asylum.

Posing as a Bangladeshi student who had just dropped out of his university course, he had said he was looking at asylum as a way to stay in the country.

Now Zahid Hasan Akhand, who introduced himself as a barrister, was talking him through the different options and how to dupe the Home Office.

Make a note. It’s a rare occurrence.

After commiting cultural suicide, the rats openly feast over the corpses.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. This must come from the parallel universe where the BBC is an actual news organization.

How to dupe the Home Office?

That shouldn’t take much effort.

[xp38]

Don’t be fooled. I recall the occasional odd item from the New York Times and other leftist outlets where most here on FR would agree with and everyone is pleasantly surprised. Nothing fundamental changes though. The item is a drop in an ocean of leftism.

My guess is there are elements in the Home Office that are are rather willing partners in being duped.
