And the cops that took the bribes while certifying his company. Renting out vans is not an offence, and since when do police "certify companies"?

I think u need to think a little more out of the box ...... like crims do the life in the UK test is a piece of piss for anyone you can remember a few historical facts ..... as for the English test .... its beyond easy , and the institutions that the test is farmed out to have a vested interest in candidates passing ..... And I'm not basing this on hearsay but lived experience I am assuming you are talking about the very small tiny percentage that claim aslyum by arriving on boats. The UK had 600,000 legal immigrants last year (alot from Hong Kong and Ukraine, and alot of students that pay through the roof to study there). Around 3% came on boats to claim Asylum. Provided they are even succesful with their asylum application - they still have to go through the full process and long term path to get British citizenship. And yes that includes taking a life in the UK test, British language test, savings, and job earnings. Colonial links to the UK, from a time when the UK laundered those countries wealth, then needed that population to help them in two world wars is probably a reason why they have links to the UK. France also has a similar issue with many from Africa wanting to settle there. If you think the life in the UK test is easy, with such questions like what is the distance from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland, or who was the 10th century king of England then you are a well versed men. Most i know who do that test have studied very hard for it. No thick planks will pass it, and i doubt the vast majority of the UK population would even pass it without some form of revision. But let's not get in the way of your issue here. Every modern metropolsis in the world, from USA, Canada, Australia all require some forms of immigration. All these shiny buildings you see popping in Bangkok - i'll give you a clue they aren't built by the indigenous population.

Easily done inside Thailand but not if booking in advance from outside the country, but then again names and bank account details should confirm where the monies going.
