I love watching the English eat each other alive. It's very historically satisfying

So how does it work? You get arrested for illegal immigration. You're bailed out and fired. You figure they're going deport you, so you leave the country. Do they extradite you so they can deport you?

Just asking.

Thank you.

Also, just because this person got arrested doesn't mean they necessarily are guilty of an immigration offence. The Windrush scandal (the most notable clusterfuck in the long line of clusterfucks) lead to at least 80 wrongful deportations.

The Tories have just gone insane on the whole topic, with each home secretary somehow managing to be even worse than their predecessor. Theresa May's hostile environment policy was the door opener for this.

For those of us in GDPR-land who don't want to consent to cookie tracking and who want to object to the many disingenuous claims of "legitimate interest" for the many advertisement and tracking vendors both sites use, that's only marginally better than GBNews. I'm not sure that the Standard's "Reject All" link actually sends the legitimate interest objections to every vendor instead of just declining to offer consent, so first I had an annoyingly long list of "ON" to switch to "OFF" (all of which very implausibly had the exact same list of legitimate interest uses), as opposed to an interminably / infeasibly long such list on GBNews which made me give up and close the tab. And then the Standard hit me with a "register to keep reading" wall.

Grmbl @ how actually GDPR compliant websites are almost as rare as meaningful GDPR enforcement... (And right now I equate UK GDPR with GDPR since there haven't been many changes since Brexit, although I'm in the EU right now.)

Is there a better link that actually lets the general public read and which makes it easy enough to preserve privacy?

Title doesn't match article??

Looks like this was a corruption thing, which is more common with border patrol agents. Makes sense because they're usually bilingual and they're targeted by cartels for cash payoffs.

Here's the article:

They have been released pending further investigation and were immediately suspended. > >“One officer arrested as part of the conspiracy had previously been arrested and bailed on immigration offences. > >“We expect the highest standards of our staff. As soon as we are made aware of allegations of wrongdoing, they are rigorously investigated and we do not hesitate in taking decisive action.”
