UK Visa and Immigration News Update
Recently we have noticed that there has been a rise in the amount of UK immigration scams that the UKBA have picked up on. Just today we picked up on two different stories about different abuses of the immigration system. The one story which we found alarming is the story about an immigration law firm boss being jailed for a massive immigration scam. The report explained that this UK Immigration Lawyer was giving his clients false documents like fake education certificates, payslips and letters.
We have written many previous posts on how important it is to select the correct UK immigration lawyer or company. It is extremely disturbing to me that this kind of thing goes on, even though we are all aware of immigration abuses, but when you find a lawyer willing to abuse the system it makes it somehow feel even worse.
I am not a lawyer and have been doing UK visas and Immigration for 8 years and would never attempt to deceive the UK authorities or my clients.

Infographic on the cost of Private Tuition Fees in the UK
I found this info-graphic on the telegraph web-site with a whole host of other articles on UK student fees :
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information but thought that it was useful to post either way.

Video Footage UK Riots
Seriously disturbing footage of the UK riots. This footage was taken on Sunday 7th August in Tottenham. The UK seems to be going through some real turbulent times, just last year we witnessed similar riots and looting taking place with the Student Protests.
More Video Footage on UK Riots
More 1st hand footage on the current rioting across London and other parts of the UK.
London Riots
Over the past 3 days there has been terrible rioting and looting across the UK. This violence has spread to Liverpool, Birmingham,Bristol and Nottingham. The initial spark that set off this catastrophic series of events was when a peaceful protest in Tottenham turned bad when police shot a man dead.
There have been apparently over 400 arrests and about 70 people so far have been charged with varying offences. UK Police forces have been stretched to their limits and it seems as if even the army have been considered for helping with the trying to control this violence.
The current financial situation globally together with an overall bleak general outlook makes it hard for anyone to see positive in life. The issue is that mindless violence like this does not help in any way. You only have to look at the scenes filmed over the past 3 days and you can see the destruction and mayhem caused.
Not only are these riots and looting extremely destructive but they are going to cost large sums of money to repair.
This is certainly not the brightest time for the UK and with the Olympics coming up this should surely draw more attention to security issues too.
