I guess so, because how else will one be able to prove their entitlement to be in Britain otherwise.So do we need to carry our Passport with us all the time??
I would imagine that he did know that; my assumption is that they are assuming that the person they stop won't know that, and maybe just trying to intimidate, which I think is appalling.and it feels really funny to note that the officer did not even know the basic immigration rule that application for sorting out an expiring visa
That's all I carry and will continue to do so until I'm told otherwise I guess.Will a Passport photocopy will do then original passport ??
I can just imagine. If they are going to do this and don't want to give the (obvious) impression that they are being discriminatory, then I think they should stop EVERYONE. There are many non-foreign *white* immigrants such as myself, and hell I was here illegally til just this last Tuesday. Yet, there are many "foreign-looking" people that are not only here legaly, but British citizens, that are going to be inconvenienced/embarrassed/humiliated. The whole thing is just infuriating and not fair in the least. I wish there was a way to get the whole immigrant community organized into one voice, because there is a whole group (ie from developing countries) that tend to be afraid to speak up, yet they need to be heard as they are affected the most in all this.He felt so awful afterwards, and all of this was done in front of passengers during rush-hour, with everyone staring at him like he was a criminal. He just felt so humiliated by the whole situation.
Not disputing what you say at all, but without knowing why this person was stopped it's a bit difficult to draw any firm conclusions.jes2jes wrote:Well, this morning, I saw 4 IND staff at the Greenford Underground station questioning a young man who looks "Polish" to me.
I wonder if there is any legal basis for this stop and search procedure but what can you say? I will never carry my passport with me since no Brits (or whites) do not carry their ppts with them in their day to day activities.
I guess it is profiling at its best. What a shame we are going back to the Nazi days. Hail Britain!
