Notts illegal workers deported
THREE people who were working illegally in Kirkby-in-Ashfield have been deported.
The people - a 31-year-old woman, 37-year-old man and his 35-year-old fiancee - were found when Immigration officers went to the Good Food Chinese Cantonese Takeaway in Kingsway on October 16.
-
The three were found to be from Malaysia and were all put on a plane to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
A fourth man, a 20-year-old Chinese failed asylum seeker, was also found and the UK Border Agency is now taking steps to remove him from the country.
The business was issued with an on-the-spot penalty notice and could face fines of up to £40,000.
Phil Dyer, head of the UK Border Agency's East Midlands Local Immigration Team, said: "Every month many businesses in Nottinghamshire are paid a visit as we continue to pull the plug on the illegal jobs which lure illegal immigrants to come to the UK.
"We have caught dozens of illegal workers in the county over the last few months and have fined companies tens of thousands of pounds for hiring illegal labour.
"Illegal working is unfair on honest employers who recruit staff with the right to work in the UK and who pay them a proper salary.
"We will continue to support those companies who seek to comply with the law. But bosses who don't play by the rules will get struck off our register, lose the right to recruit staff from outside Europe, face on the spot fines and could potentially end up in jail."
To avoid fines, businesses must prove to the UK Border Agency that they carried out proper checks to employ workers outside the EU.

“Re: SAD is Anti-British:
Perhaps you could contact the NEP for an entire back catalogue of your posts (sorry, i've not kept a log).
Then i'll sift through and put together a compelling argument that you dislike Britain & the British way of life. Despite you CHOOSING to live here.
You can post as many quotes from Griffin and Collett as you like ... not sure what that has to do with the price of chips though or my point.
Once again, an attempt to deflect or evade a question.
Please post all your comments when you have them.
Or, how about saying something positive above Britain for a change?”

“Morning Badger . . .
Did Nick Griffin make a twit of himself?
Perhaps he did reveal his darker side. Some of the audience and to a degree the panel revealed some not so pretty traits.
One two in the audience were dangerous people . . . make your own decisions on that.
I have always said it about politicians and their more extreme views that they are either stupid or wicked . . . either way they are not fit to rule or make decisions that affect the ordinary man and women.”

“The last poster can quote my hatred of "anything British, and it's (sic) culture, history and identity" if they can.
Just because I'm not a nubnp supporter (aka nazi) does not mean that I hate my country.
I don't know whether or not the poster is just a troll or a far-right sympathiser but if he or she wants me to provide some 'patriotic' quotes celebrating our history from Griffin and Collett I'm more than happy to do so.”
by and anything British, and it's Culture, History & Identity.
