Six asylum seekers claim £300,000 compensation for 'wrongly' being held when they arrived in Britain

Six asylum seekers are claiming up to £300,000 in compensation after they were held in detention following their entry into the UK, it was confirmed today.

Lawyers for the six said the claim had been lodged for up to £50,000 each on grounds of false imprisonment.

The asylum seekers arrived in the UK unaccompanied, saying they were under 18, but did not have documents to prove it, according to reports.

At least three were detained with adults for up to two weeks at an immigration centre while their ages were checked.

Mark Scott, of solicitors Bhatt Murphy, said the claimants entered the UK without the support of their families.

He said: 'These are all claims where the Home Office has previously accepted that the policy under which they were detained is unlawful, on the basis that now what happens is that they have a proper assessment by people who know about children such as social workers, to ascertain whether in fact they are children.

'The policy under which they were detained at the time is no longer in existence.'

A UK Border Agency spokeswoman said: 'If an applicant claims to be a child and there is any question of their age, they are given the benefit of the doubt and treated as a child.  continues here


So there you have it, we must take the word of sneaks, people who have already committed a crime, entering our country illegally, are we mad, devoid of our senses, it seems as if the host must welcome the parasite with open arms. Surely enough is enough, now is the time to stand up, take no more, or must we continually permit those with a counter agenda, to destroy our nation, our culture and our race. 14
