It is not surprising to hear that two of the suspected bombers in last week’s botched attack on London’s transport network travelled to the UK on Kenyan passports according to Scotland Yard. The two, who police say were originally from Somalia, are now on the run. I’ve lost count of the number of Somalis who have told me that they came to the UK on Kenyan Passports. When you ask how they got hold of the documents you get a smile and a, “you know how these things work”. We do indeed.
Meanwhile watch the tabloid press explode with rage now they have asylum seekers to blame.

The office next to ours is a victim support unit, D and they say the numbers of asylum seekers and black and Asian people generally, who have been abused, physically assaulted, na kadhalika has shot up over the last three weeks. Especially for people who look like Somalis, Ethiopians or Pakistanis. The tabloids are adding to an already terrible situation.

Isn’t it just typical of the tabloids. We will never hear the end of this. We come here, eat their dole, live in their houses for free and take their jobs.
Meanwhile my poor Pakistani neighbour is in deep stress every time she has to take her children to school because of the yobs.

And now they have stopped that dude ever entering the UK because he dared criticize their person here in Kenya - the double standards are amazing.
