Solicitors Regulator Launches Investigation Of Asylum Claim Law Firms

[naomi24]

//The solicitors' watchdog in England and Wales has confirmed it is investigating law firms accused of helping clients make false asylum claims.

It comes after a Daily Mail reporter, posing as an economic migrant, asked law firms for help applying for asylum.

Two companies allegedly agreed to help devise fictional backstories aimed at increasing the success of a claim.//

Damn savages should be de frocked pronto.

this has been going on for decades, nothing new here at all and nothing much will come of it...

Well it looks like Mr Sunak is taking it seriously. Not sure there will be much support from Sir Kier and certainly non from Sir Kiers mates at the Bar council, quite the opposite in fact.

Should we be investigating all the previous cases handled by these criminal parasites, and reversing the asylum claims of any that were successful due to lies and false evidence?

[youngmafbog]

Yes we should Togo.

Crime must not pay.

How strange ... the usual sources of contention and confected argument have all been struck dumb.

Surely "Cushy club finally forced to act"

As with regulators everywhere.

there have been a few ( watchdogs) as they were so crap.

the one I complained to, replied " ah yes, he did this because they wanted to...."
so the complaints org was just an 'explainer'
the firm ended up like this

but it may be different now. The firm who forwarded the Nigerian rape cases by a scots regiment stationed there ( N) got ran out of town.
