The BBC has published an investigation into dodgy deals for asylum claims, and it shows that far from it being a lie on an application form, the process starts by people posing as legal experts and capable of advising those seeking to eventually live here illegally on how to go about doing it.
There’s no perceivable value to the fake claims, as it proves in this case and is shown in many others, because the false basis is a setup for a fall in the life of the claimant. It’s been found they’re more likely to be involved by force in grittier crimes than many, being picked up by travelling gangs.
What we all know is that the Home Office has all the capacity to see the problem, and has the full capability to make an effort and direct a resolution to such affronts, yet what it does to really break down the issue is now anyone’s guess.
The length of time it’s taken from street to desk is something to be marvelled at. This has crept up on the UK public over long stretches of time, showing its signs in small ways, and now providing the basis for a large crime event along our coastline in broad daylight.
Any report by the nation’s broadcaster is welcome, but it treads carefully where many problems have resulted from this. As a driver of crime, and as a reason for the deterioation of our lived places, there’s no more time to use to delay, and the will to solve it must now come through.
