Bulgarian newspaper says UK border control is 'shameful'

The Bulgarian newspaper 24Chasa has called British border security “shameful” after two of its reporters managed to get into the UK without work permists and get jobs within 24 hours.

The Daily Express edition of 14.11.2006 (front page) said that Peor Petrov and Milen Petrov got jobs on a building site close to Aldgate Underground railway station in inner east London.

24Chasa said (in an article entitled “Illegal Jobs – shame for the UK”) that some work from 1 am in the morning until 8 am as part of an arrangement where English employers allegedly hire Indian, Pakistani or Albanian sub contractors who then look on the black market for workers who will do up to 13 hours a day for £50 (half the rate the average English worker would demand).

Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of the independent immigration monitoring service, MigrationWatch, said “This shows how easy it is to slip into the UK and to undercut wages and competitive rates of pay offered by honest employers.”

*Bulgaria joins the EU on 1.1.2007. Bulgarian people do not yet have any right to enter the UK.

All they had to do was ask us, we could of told them it is shameful. Our traitors have no shame though, so they don't care.
