    Is this a case of unlawful detention?

    Why are suspected true positives and potential false positive treated the same? Would someone called Mr Scot McScooter more likely be someone who someone who says ‘see you Jimmy’ or ‘chill mon”?

          As far as they know you could a been putting on the accent, Scoot. Just as I can do an Indian accent, learnt from hours on the phone listening to feckers called Robert, Steven and Simon sorting out my bank problems.

          In fact, you could be putting one on in front of us!

              The fact Scotland is full of immigrants and England is full of Scots I'm not really that surprised.

                I have never met a polite Immigration Officer - the worst ones are at Birmingham airport.

                I mean it wouldn't kill the buggers to smile and say hello would it? I've found that being friendly and polite in the face of their rudeness makes them very uncomfortable so that's what I do now.

                  They are the same the world over.

                  You should have seen the grief some Cubans got at Miami one day. He went right into a paddy, each one of them were carted off for seperate interviews.
