    Asylum Seekers

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6578595.stm

    Thousands of motorists who use a bank card to buy petrol are thought to have lost millions of pounds in a scam allegedly linked to Tamil rebels.
    It is believed cards are being skimmed at petrol stations, whereby the card details and pin numbers are retrieved and money withdrawn from the account.

    About 200 of the UK's 9,500 petrol stations are thought to have been hit.

    The Sri Lankan government has claimed its opponents, the Tamil Tigers, are behind the scam.

    They say Tamil asylum seekers arriving in the UK are loaned money to open a petrol station, and once established they supply information to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).


    Import more criminals. That's the future.

            Nope.

            It's only fair.

              The Integration Loan..what did Enoch say...sowing the seeds of our own destruction please tell me it 'aint so

              The Immigration and Nationality Directorate will be introducing a loan scheme to help new refugees, those granted humanitarian protection, and their respective dependants to purchase goods and services to assist their integration into the United Kingdom.
              Background

              The opportunity to apply for an integration loan will be made available to any person who is granted refugee status, humanitarian protection, and their respective dependants after the date on which the scheme is introduced. The loan scheme is designed to give financial support to these individuals as they enter a critical period during which time they may have to find accommodation, train or re-qualify and seek employment. The loans will be interest free with gentle repayment terms.

              The criteria on which loans will be determined is set out in Government regulations and guidance. It is intended that the loan will be spent on items and activities that facilitate integration
              How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
