Braunstone Park woman jailed for marrying many men
A woman has been jailed for marrying a number of men to enable them to enter the UK illegally.
Ayesha Mullan (26) entered into sham marriages with Indian nationals whom she barely knew even though she was already married.
She was jailed at Downpatrick Crown Court, in Northern Ireland, for 15 months yesterday after a ceremony at a local register office was raided by the UK Border Agency.
Mullan, of Ellesmere Court, Braunstone Park, Leicester, admitted conspiring to assist unlawful immigration as well as bigamy. Andrea Anderson, of the UK Border Agency said: "Northern Ireland is not a soft touch for this type of crime and we will prosecute those who facilitate illegal immigration and those who have no right to be in the UK."

“Salim Mullan had already been sentenced to 4 years in 2005 for this 'marriage' gig and obviously needed to keep it in the family whilst he serves his second sentence after getting caught doing it again, perhaps? But don't worry folks you can start buying rice and confetti at the beginning of November because the lawbreaking Salim Mullan is expected to be released from Her Majesty's Pleasure around about that time. Mullan Marriages? Pah!”

“Democrat,
The story at the beginning of December related to numbers in young offenders institutions. Not quite the same thing.
David, can you back up your assertion?”

“@ David Haslett
Quote: "Another Muslim get put away for crimes. There is a very disproportionate number of Muslims in UK jails compared to that of population, any one know why ?"
Can you provide any references for this assertion?”

“Never mind the Australian border control police, try the New Zealand customs. They are brutally efficient. Got a cobweb on your car? Impounded and a good gassing to ensure nothing foreign comes to their ISLAND (cases such as redbacks come to mind). Any persons doing the same, put in holding sent back ASAP to where they came from. Break the law here & get found guilty? Go and serve the sentence in country of origin and those wishing to re-enter can be chip & pinned. This lot can all go to India and live it up there, what with them being Indian nationals. Of course taking their 'wife' with them seeing as they all want to be with her so much. She gets to see each 'husband' for one day and one day off a fortnight. Happy families abound.”

“In some countries you will get shot in the head for crossing a border illegally or even imprisoned for upto 10 years and forced to carry out unpaid labour,
In england we give illegal immigrants a job, benefits, a house a driving licence, free health care etc.
The immigrants are not the problem its the governments immigration rules which are a problem.
The borders are a wide open and the english get outspoken!”

“The report does not mention Muslims?
But one thing it does show is that Foreigners continue to do whatever they have to to get into this Country and our immigration system cannot cope with the invasion..
Why would so many wish to settle here?
Too comfortable here........ Get some Australians on our borders before it's too late...”
