To all appearances, the Reverend Anthony Quarco was a respectable pillar of the community.Sounds great, right? A real success story.
As well as running a church, he worked as a frontline airport immigration officer and volunteered as a Metropolitan Police special constable.
Well, not quite:
But yesterday, the father of two was unmasked as 'the most dishonest man in Britain' and jailed for nine years for smuggling hordes of illegal migrants into the country in exchange for nearly £150,000.The Rev wasn’t all he seemed.
… he used his job at Luton Airport to issue fake passports, and even smuggled a man into the country under his own name.Although what his own name actually was is open to a bit of doubt:
Quarco, then known as Mashudo Brisco Ndou, claimed asylum in Britain in 1995 after arriving from Ethiopia with a Liberian ID card.Don’t you feel safer, knowing the authorities do a bang-up job ensuring that the people who staff our vital services are the right ones for the job..?
By the time he was made a UK citizen in 2005, he had changed his name to Anthony Davis Quarco, and founded 'The Gift of God Zion Training Church' in Brixton.
Mr Polnay said: 'Whilst there was undoubtedly some worship going on, the main purpose for Mr Quarco was to line his pockets with the proceeds of illegal immigration.'
In March 2006 Quarco began work at Luton Airport and by 2008 he was part of the Immigration Service's Criminal Investigation Team.
This corrupt dude's appointment to a position in the 'Criminal Investigation Team' of the immigration service must be the biggest victory yet for the HR box-tickers in the civil service.
ReplyDeleteDiversity rules ok?- competence & honesty are SO twentieth century, dear !
If current trends persist, it is likely that within 20 years the culture of large swathes of public administration in the UK will more closely resemble that of Africa than that of northern Europe. And yet still the left extrudes all the old mantras about the 'benefits of immigration'.
And so, the tradition of black slaves being run as a business run by blacks carries on as it has throughout history, but "black slave week" never seems to get around to pointing out..
ReplyDelete"...the biggest victory yet for the HR box-tickers in the civil service."
ReplyDeleteOh, indeed. I have no doubt whatsoever that that is the only thing to explain how he got so far.
".."black slave week" never seems to get around to pointing out.."
It's just as instructive to see what the official record leaves OUT as what it includes.
"Mashudo Brisco Ndou, claimed asylum in Britain in 1995 after arriving from Ethiopia with a Liberian ID card."
ReplyDeleteSee, there? That's exactly what is wrong with this country.
Asylum is properly refuge from harm. Not a single asylum seeker should ever be granted British Citizenship or permanent leave to remain. Instead, they should be protected and given refuge but only for so long as the threat exists. Logically, that refuge must always come with the implied condition that its merely a temporary status - even if in practice its for many years. Eventually the asylum seeker should be returned home or to another safe country. Or at be least expecting to be returned.
Why we can't write into law that claiming asylum automatically bars someone from being considered to permanently stay in this country is beyond me?
And why is someone with an obviously opaque background allowed employment in such a sensitive post?
