I Know We Have To Avoid Disability Discrimination In The Workplace...

...but surely we aren't hiring blind Border Force staff?

A migrant who came to the UK by boat....

Whoa, let me stop you there! 

'Migrants who arrive by boat' do so with passports and visas in hand, via Stena Lines or P&O. They don't come ashore in Kent via dinghy, having conveniently lost all their documentation. Start calling these what they are - illegal immigrants. 

....and claimed to be a child so he could stay is actually in his mid-20s, and even joined an over-30s dating group, before he was caught out by his grey hairs and stubble.

There is no way in hell anyone could claim to have thought this man was 16 years old. No way.  

Aria Ibrahimi, who is now believed to be 25, posed as a 16-year-old and got taken into care by Kent County Council as a minor before social workers' suspicions began to grow.

/facepalm 

Who's More Insane..?

A convicted killer and transgender woman has been given a dummy by prison guards after claiming she now identifies as a baby.

Sophie Eastwood, 36, who received a life sentence for strangling her cellmate with shoelaces, has also asked for nappies and baby food.

Him, or the prison warders acquiesing to these extraordinary demands?

A young offender known as Daniel at the time, Eastwood was jailed in a young offenders' institute at 18 for dangerous driving.

She was a month away from the end of her sentence when she strangled Mr Algie.

Guards then dubbed her 'Hannibal Lecter Jr' for her wicked mind games.

It's been a long time since I watched the film or read the book, but I'm pretty sure the authorities only grant privileges to Lecter when they want something from him... 

After realising she wasn't a gay man in 2016...

*rolls eyes* 

...Eastwood transitioned four years ago. She finished her 15-year minimum jail term in 2019 but has not been considered for release.

Even the prison service draws a line somewhere, then! 

She has also demanded guards hold her hand when she leaves her cell. And prison wardens are taking her demands seriously.

*blinks* 

The SPS source replied: 'Eastwood is a complex person and intelligent but she is pretty demanding on the resources of the prison and enjoys being the centre of attention.' She might just be 'attention seeking', they added.

Ya think?!? 

Even so, the idea is being given 'proper consideration' for 'human rights reasons', they said.

The only 'proper consideration' this should be given is to laugh in his face as the cell door clangs shut.  

Shutting The Stable Door...

Ministers intend to give Companies House powers to verify company information.

...after the Hungarian horses (and zebras!) have long since galloped over the horizon:

... locals in Wales's most northerly village were surprised to learn that seven firms claiming to be setting up 'botanical and zoological gardens' or 'nature reserves' were registered there over eight days last month.

*blinks* 

A Mail on Sunday investigation can reveal that Cemaes is the latest place to fall victim to a soft-touch system that lets anyone create a business in the UK without proof of identity.

Good grief!  

The Cemaes firms are among 17 registered with Hungarian directors last month for 'botanical and zoological gardens and nature reserves activities'.

And no-one noticed? Not that it would have mattered much if they did... 

A spokesman said it refers potential fraud to law enforcement agencies, adding: 'At present Companies House don't have statutory powers to investigate fraud and verify the accuracy of information provided by UK companies.'

*sighs*
