#2If you're interested in this subject, I recommend reading the 2020 Trafficking in Persons Report: https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/2020-TIP-Re... (maybe not the entire thing, it's.... very big. but the first 20 pages or so are compelling) You can select a specific location here: https://www.state.gov/reports/2020-trafficking-in-persons-re...

#3Illegal immigration into the UK from the third world is far greater now than it was in the era of Mo Farah's childhood. I have to wonder how the UK social construct can survive with the huge numbers of people entering given the lack of housing, water, food etc

#4I clicked the link thinking it wouldn't be an enthralling story, but man, what an enthralling, difficult life that man had.

Most immigrants are economically very active since starting a new life from zero requires that.
Unless you can't physically fit people in the island, the solution would be to let the immigrants work legally. Number of houses are not fixed like the total number of bitcoins, people can build new ones.
Despite the political rhetoric and recent trends, immigration is a good thing and the problems it causes can be reduced when handled properly. That's why the government, despite being dominated by Brexiteers who won by preaching the horrors of immigrants and lack of border control, actually don't try stopping the immigrants.
Surely the topic is a good tool for populist politicians but once they got the results for their careers, they can't actually live with those fantasies because people will notice.
I know that this is not a popular opinion but that's that. UK had option to control the immigration when was in the EU and choose not to. Why do you think is that? Because people who work are a good thing.

This is a sensational story and I think it's going to be hard for this individual to keep their identity hidden, even though I take it Farah doesn't want to name them.

#8Gosh this is such a heartbreaking and yet fascinating story. The BBC version is has more detail including some possible immigration jeopardy for Sir Mo due to getting citizenship under an assumed name:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62123886
In the documentary, barrister Alan Briddock tells Sir Mo his nationality was technically "obtained by fraud or misrepresentations".
Legally, the government can remove a person's British nationality if their citizenship was obtained through fraud.
However, Mr Briddock explains the risk of this in Sir Mo's case is low.
In a case like this there should not be any possible repercussions, Sir Mo is the victim here and the law should be solidly on his side and not have to rely on the kindness of some civil servant choosing not to remove his citizenship.
EDIT: The Home Office says "“No action whatsoever will be taken against Sir Mo and to suggest otherwise is wrong,” a spokesperson said."

Cheap labor that isn't allowed to vote. We see this all over Europe. I wonder what gives.
