So what's Theresa May on about?
If the picture on the chip is just a copy of the laminated photo, it's got no value as an identity check. It's a forged passport check.
But for the time being it's got no value as a forged passport check, because no forger will try to produce a passport with a chip when he can make a passport without a chip.
I suggest that nobody has been caught by making this check, nor is it remotely likely that anybody might be.
There also seems to be something about children not being checked against the watch list. But if there aren't any children on the watch list, the result of that check would be a foregone conclusion, wouldn't it.
May's reaction is so bizarre, we have to suspect that we're being fobbed off with excuses and not being told the real reason for these suspensions. Did Clark spurn her advances or something?

I strongly suspect that these "unauthorised policy changes" were the result of border staff making pragmatic decisions to keep things running when presented with resourcing levels that were simply not compatible with implementation of the supposedly mandated Government policy.
Why else would they take it upon themselves to make such changes? It's usually the idiots at the very top (ie Theresa May) that create situations where compliance is impossible, then place the blame on their underlings.0 -
Surely not this Therasa May. Discretion required before clicking on this link. Persons of the age of under 18 should exit at once.

Wonder if there is a similar site for Margaret Thatcher, red hot babe?0 -
The fog thins a little. Brodie Clark's immediate ex-boss, Rob Whiteman, the chief executive of UKBA, is brand new in the job, started 26 September. He was appointed by May and he's got no experience in the field at all. His previous career was entirely in local government. Hmm.
And apparently Clark was offered early retirement, but declined."It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be.

Ha Ha! Luckily the spelling of the Honourable Lady's name, Theresa May, is different from this hard-working taxpayer.0 -

Think you got that wrong, how about Blue Cold [STRIKE]Babe[/STRIKE] Pensioner'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

You don't expect the honourable lady to survive purely on her ministerial earnings do you?
We all know times are hard. She gets a good discount on sexy silk stockings too I believe, courtesy of a couple of her Tory male colleagues
