Why don't they just tell them they got visas, fly them up back to same airport, douse them with hosepipes to simulate rain, get some white people to abuse them, rip them off in a taxi, get some tree-huggers to get them to claim asylum, they'd never know they weren't in the UK!

Actually no-one knows the history, all that's been quoted are BBC reports. It's inconceivable that the refusal decisions were taken without good reason or without the expectation that there would be some unfavourable comment. Such group applications are notorious for including supernumaries, and if the organisers allow this to happen they must expect the worst.

And threats about the "Ombudsman" will cut no ice. This from the relevant web page:-
"The remit of the Chief Inspector does not permit him to consider individual cases."

Wanderer, your subtle humour is lost on this forum. Suggest you write this on your blog, and you will have at least one regular reader. Great stuff.
