BBC descending further into the mire. "After gathering initial evidence, including tip-offs, we sent undercover reporters to investigate...."

Even the headline is written for morons to think it's the migrants rather than legal firms specifically trying to make easy money from desperate people.

This is the SAME BBC that has already failed to identify heavily biased reporters. Where was this level of so called evidence gathering for investigating and reporting actual news items?

Wow, this is a whole level more despicable than the people wasting time and resources to find out Banksy's identity. Imagine thinking it's a good idea to waste your life reporting on this instead of e.g. the rich elite paying no taxes or whatever. Disgusting.

This part is also hilarious:

On a Tuesday evening at a community centre in a quiet corner of Beckton, east London, more than 175 people have gathered for an event.

Some have travelled from as far as South Wales, Birmingham and Oxford to attend a meeting organised by Worcester LGBT, which describes itself as a support group for gay and lesbian asylum seekers.

The group's website says that only genuine gay asylum seekers are welcome.

But the men spilling out from the centre's doors onto the pavement outside readily admit to our undercover reporter that all is not as it seems.

"Most of the people here are not gays," one man called Fahar says.

Another, who gives the name Zeeshan, goes further.

"Nobody is a gay here. Not even 1% are gay. Not even 0.01% are gay."

...

With the conversation having now switched to Urdu, she appeared much more enthusiastic about helping our reporter stay in the country, discussing how he could apply for asylum on the grounds that he's gay.

When he told her that he wasn't gay, she told him: "Listen to me. There is nobody who is real. There is only one way out in order to live here now and that is the very method everyone is adopting."

She would not be drawn on who had passed her his number, but we were able to match her WhatsApp profile picture and first name to Tanisa Khan, who works as an adviser to Worcester LGBT.
