"AN ASTONISHING £15.5 million was forked out on immigrants' legal fees and wasted plane tickets by the now-defunct UK Border Agency (UKBA) last year. "
Just what is so 'astonishing'? Should (over-reportedly) corrupt officials be a law unto themselves? Should the rather hastily arranged tickets be used by idling MPs?
"It also wasted £2.5 million... - a 24% increase on the previous year." This represents great good fortune for those wishing to big themselves-up for recent changes to the way this system is to operate from now on. Might there be the slightest chance that overall the books have been 'righted'?
And who is this "Lord Marlesford"?
