UK local politician to pay hefty fine for hiring Indian student as nanny illegally

She was then found to be in the country illegally since her visa expired in March 2023 and told the authorities that "physically abused" and felt "suicidal".Arif Rehman, representing the councillor, told the court: "This story was fabricated with an intention to claim immigration advantage and to present herself as a victim of modern-day slavery "Nothing was done with the allegations with the evidence of abuse because there was no evidence. This is not someone who can be trusted by the court. "This is a serious breach of the law, and residents rightly deserve a lot better," Conservative Party councillor Jack Emsley told the newspaper.

"Benoy Thomas knowingly breached immigration laws by employing people who had no right to work in the UK," Katie Samways, Specialist Prosecutor for CPS South East, said in a statement. "Many of those he illegally employed were working with some of the most vulnerable people without adequate training or medical expertise, putting the safety and well-being of those who needed care at significant risk. "The Crown Prosecution Service will continue to prosecute those who exploit our immigration system," she said.An investigation by Immigration Enforcement, an agency of the UK Home Office, determined that Thomas assisted the "unlawful immigration" of 13 individuals between 2017 and 2018.He was sentenced to a total of two-and-a-half years in prison and disqualified from being a company director for eight years, the CPS said. It noted that Thomas himself arrived in the UK legally in 2007 from India before becoming a British citizen in 2012.The court heard that he had used his contacts in southern India and knowledge of the UK immigration system to undertake the illegal hiring operation. His trial was told that he also attempted to conceal employment documentation from immigration officers in a garage before his arrest.

Households urged to do one thing to protect hedgehogs
However, various animal and garden experts have urged households to avoid making one mistake when doing this. Bread can pose a big problem for hedgehogs as it can be very tricky for them to digest. Chris Bonnett, founder of GardeningExpress.co.uk, explained: "People assume bread is suitable for hedgehogs because it's soft, but the truth is it can be hard for hedgehogs to digest. Milk is also an issue as hedgehogs are lactose intolerant, so consuming it can result in severe diarrhoea and stomach upsets. "Be sure to cut it into tiny pieces, as hedgehogs have small teeth and can’t effectively chew larger pieces, and always remove any bones."
