I cant believe guardian pull out this headline stunt.
Quote
A Home Office spokesperson said: “As part of routine security checks, Ms Hussen was delayed for a short time, but at no point was she told she couldn’t travel to the UK, nor did she miss her train.
It’s a security check. She was denied settle status in the past. That’s why they double check. I can’t see a problem here.
She is playing a race card here.
I’m immigrants and recently got my British passport right after brexit.
“Once a video Hussen posted on her Twitter account from Paris began to draw attention, Hussen claims the Border Force officer “completely changed his tune”, returned her passport and escorted her on to the platform to catch her train.”
​
I highly doubt he changed his tune because some nobody posted it on Twitter to her mighty 14,000 followers …
​
Likely he “changed his tune” because he checked her passport, found she was allowed in and so returned it to her. As per standard procedure.
The demand for official racism continues to exceed supply
Border Force have always struck me as being mostly ornamental. The uniforms, the catchy name, the box-ticking exercise of asking questions on arrival, and the plainclothes policemen overseeing them make their jobs seem not exactly trivial – passport checks are necessary – but definitely _overdressed_.
If they’re actually letting people through without proper documents, though, and permitting the use of scanned ones, then they’re not doing their jobs right. It’s way too easy to fake up a picture of scanned documents now.
Slightly delayed whilst Boarder Force workers did their checks on a Foreign National. Still made her train. Saw a ‘white’ woman waved through by other staff under a completely different set of circumstances… What a load of crap.
The guardian really are a nasty little publication these days. ‘Woman’s documents checked by border staff at entry point into the country’.. big news to nobody but those who’d quite like to see a bit more racial tension
It’s a shame how people relates every issue to being black to gain attention.
Complete non-story, If she was white we wouldn’t even be hearing about this
“Whenever something bad happens to somebody who happens to be black, it’s racism”
Its very disturbing seeing people on this sub being dismissive of black persons talking about the racist problems the encounter in day to day life even after the Megan&Harry documentary and the black woman that got humiliated in Buckingham Palace.
Why did they have to put that they’re black in the headline? Seems irrelevant.
