NEARLY 50 Birmingham City Council employees have been given their marching orders after being exposed as illegal immigrants.
The embarrassing discovery was made by council audit investigators after they tapped into data stored in a Home Office computer.
The exercise was ordered earlier this year after an illegal immigrant, John Kaduwanema, was jailed for seven and a half years after stealing more than £1 million from the council's social services department.
The Ugandan bought a luxury car and five properties with the money he stole after being hired to work in the payments team on the basis of forged papers.
**But aside from the illegals who should have been properly vetted at the start, there are some other gems from this council.
Eleven officials have also been sacked for downloading porn on their council computers and another 25 handed disciplinary warnings.
They were among 75 employees whose net visits pointed to serious internet misuse.
Another has been given the boot after being on long term sick leave from Birmingham Council while working full time for a neighbouring local authority.
**Nice to see that the good people of Birmingham can sleep easy at night knowing that their council tax bills are spent on such high quality workers.REST HERE

I wonder if they'll get the million pounds back, i mean it's a lot of money, no wait, who cares, it's only the rate payers money.
Local authories are now a law unto themselves, we have been reduced to working for them not the other way around.
