There must be something wrong with me ! Reading that, many who know me would comment:
“Welcome to the party, we’ve known that for a long time”.
Am I the only one who has noticed that the people comprising the Border Agency staff appear, certainly to me eye, to be all of ethnic origin. I must be the only who has noticed because I’ve seen no other comments – zilch.
If, as appears, they are from all corners of the globe, are they really all going to be neutral and unbiased in the execution of their duties as we would be led to believe.
Are we really supposed to believe that some Border guard from Africa or the Caribbean or India or South America will never ever favour some visitor from his/her country? Someone who presents at the desk with dubious credentials but nevertheless is waived through? I’d put money on it. Is it possible that the Border Agency is itself, a rich source of illegal immigration that has either led or contributed to the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants estimated to be in this country?
This must be as fine an example of ‘poacher in charge of animal conservation’ as I’ve ever heard.

Whichever way I look at it this thread appears racist in nature and at the same time shows no promise of developing into any sort of useful discussion.

Your whole premise falls flat on its face, if you remember the saying, “There’s nothing worse than a convert.” While meant to apply to anyone switching to a new religion, and how they become an instant bore on the subject, it can be equally applied to someone who is dieting, or found the pleasures of not smoking. By the same token any non-British person (and the colour of their skin cannot be taken as proof positive that they weren’t born here) might be far more zealous, in the execution of their duties regarding coloured visitors, just to prove how even-handed they are. At times, I despair at the virulent views that are aired on this site.

Yes, I agree. Maybe my eyes but, certainly your brain !

How so? By daring to take up an opposite view to your frankly racist diatribe?
I understand now why many of the threads you start wither on the vine. Someone dares to reply and they get an insult in return. Maybe you could try debating the points?
T64. Those were first pictures I found in order to prove my point. If you are paranoid about government interference then many other pictures are available that aren’t staged or with politicians.
Anyway, have a nice thread.

Maybe you think they should be more like this.
On your reasoning then, a white border agency officer is more likely to let in an illegal immigrant from Eastern Europe? I doubt it somehow.
You seem to be associating the phrase illegal immigrant with ethnic origin. How that fits with the reality that many illegal immigrants are white people from Eastern Europe I have no idea.
These photos, not surprisingly, shoot down your original argument in flames. (we need a shot down in flames smilie I think)

I think you might need your eyes testing. 😉
