commissioning work from companies that pull in the best of international expertise.
That certainly hasn't been my experience.

On an Immigration raid...OFFICER:Our aim now is to find a passport for him. If we can do that, the guy is going to be put into detention pending when I get authorisation from my inspector to remove him.
He’s got no family here or anything like that, so there’s no mitigating circumstances. Our aim is to send him home if we can. Chances are we may not find a passport, in which case we’ll have to give him a temporary release and make a passport application on his behalf to the Embassy and send him back to wherever he’s been living in the Wembley area, but give him reporting restrictions so that we keep tabs on him, so that once the document does come through, we can then send him home. That’s it
CUFFE: What are the chances of him just disappearing into the
woodwork, though?
OFFICER: Erm, that all depends on them. Some stick to the rules
and then some that you think are the most honest people in the world disappear off the face
of the earth.

Got the picture?
