Khater was born in Darfur, Sudan and told immigration officials he had left the country in 2008, travelling to Libya and then to Greece, France and on to Britain where he arrived in July 2010.
He claimed he had been involved with the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) in Sudan and had been detained and tortured by the Sudanese authorities.
He was granted leave to remain on July 26, 2010, and worked as a security guard for Portcullis Security Solutions from late 2016 beginning an accountancy degree at Coventry University the following year.OK, so far, so usual...
On August 13, the day before the attack, he drove to Peterborough to apply for a passport through the fast-track scheme but was told he was ineligible to use the scheme because it was his first application.A passport? Where did he want to go?
Three years earlier, his father had passed away and his mother had also become ill and he wanted to go home, he said.'Home'. Let that sink in. The place he supposedly fled from in fear of his life.
Yet this would have raised no alarm bells, no reconsideration of his claims. No renewed interest in him at all.
Why is everyone piling on the security services, and ignoring the shambles of the Immigration Service?

I reckon every migrant should get a free, one-way ticket home and $10,000 cash upon request, in return for signing an affidavit promising never to return. This would simplify the debate.
In the olden days many migrants did not succeed or enjoy life in America so they voluntarily went home. Sometimes 40%, I've heard. These days the incentives to stay even if they hate it are stronger - gibs and chain migration for their 60 cousins. They didn't used to get that.
No need to give "migrants" tickets + cash to go home, just change the rules so that "migrants" get nothing from the state - no cash, no free medical treatment, no free accommodation - until they've been here, say, 25 years and, furthermore, have made net payments of tax + NI of, say, £10,000 before they qualify for any state benefits (or the vote). I reckon immigration would drop to the low 100s within a week.
NV,
They would probably take up the offer, and the money, wait a couple of months and come back under a different name.
Under International law, migrants seeking refuge from persecution, should apply for residence in the first safe country they come to. Unfortunately, the fact that financial, housing, health, and education benefits are higher in the UK than other safe countries in Europe explain why they don't stop until they have landed on a Kent beach in an inflatable boat bought in Calais.

"These days the incentives to stay even if they hate it are stronger..."
Particularly when they will be feted by Democrat politicians when they do...
"... just change the rules so that "migrants" get nothing from the state - no cash, no free medical treatment, no free accommodation - until they've been here, say, 25 years..."
Spot on! But it would only encourage more false asylum claims, as we'd never be able to impose such conditions on them.
"They would probably take up the offer, and the money, wait a couple of months and come back under a different name."
Well, certainly, our Border Farce wouldn't stop them!
