/// He is now under investigation by immigration officials and may face deportation. ///

I wonder if he really will be deported, and I wonder if those below were deported, I bet they weren't.

/// In recent years there have been a string of cases of asylum seekers lying about their age to gain access to social housing and education in Britain. ///

/// In 2010, two Guinean asylum seekers were ejected from a secondary school after teachers discovered they were in their 20s.///

/// One, who was studying in year 11 and has now be revealed to be 23, had allegedly struck up a relationship with a 14-year-old girl at the school. ///

/// In August 2010, Rabad Hamad, who claimed to be 16 and was studying for GCSEs at a school in Oldham, Greater Manchester, was detained after officials discovered he was really 20. ///

We watch the programmes about Customs often, and it amazes me how many young men claiming to be 15 are apprehended when they are obviously grown men.

What is the answer now from those who did not want ID cards in this country ?. I still say that during the last war we all had ID cards & there was nothing wrong in that. If we had ID cards issued now with photograph, date of birth etc. The only people to be afraid of them are those that have something to hide.
