Postman Pat Alan Johnson - Visa checks fail.

Well Postman Prat has done it again, or rather not done it. On the one hand you get HM Govt telling us that Pakistan is a hotbed of terrorism - sorry they use the pc term anti-islamic activity- and on the other they are failing to check visa's.

Half arsed New Labour policy in action again.

Visa checks on immigrants from Pakistan have been condemned as a sham.

Figures showed that just 29 out of 66,000 applicants were interviewed by officials since a 'rigorous new system' began operating last October.

The Home Office set up the 'hub and spoke' scheme last year to prevent terrorists, extremists, illegals and criminals from entering the UK.

The plan was to scrutinise candidates' paper work in the Middle East before they travelled to Britain.

But data has revealed that just one in a thousand of those granted visas was quizzed face to face.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson has also admitted that not one applicant faced a telephone interview in the first nine months of the scheme.

The Tories said the statistics were proof that Britain's immigration controls are 'wholly inadequate'.

Gordon Brown and MI5 boss Jonathan Evans have stated publicly that militants terrorists from Pakistan are the biggest terrorist threat to Britain and the country is classified as a 'high risk' for visas by the Home Office....

New Labour helping to kill British citizens every day.
