LAST week Migration Watch sent out an email to their followers titled: ‘Are asylum lawyers a law unto themselves? How many shysters are there among them?’
They were commenting on groundbreaking (for the mainstream media) investigative journalism by the Daily Mail which confirmed what many of us have suspected, that dodgy (in fact, criminal) lawyers have been offering to invent back-stories for their illegal immigrant clients to secure asylum for them. Staff at solicitors’ firms readily agreed to help an undercover reporter posing as an economic migrant who’d arrived on a small boat, to get refugee status. This was despite being told he had no legitimate reason to stay in the UK.
