UK Border Agency targets Linford Park Nursing Home in Ringwood

Eleven arrested in immigration raid on Hampshire care home Eleven arrested in immigration raid on Hampshire care home

ELEVEN people have been arrested in an immigration raid on a Hampshire nursing home today.

Officers from the UK Border Agency swooped on Linford Park Nursing Home in Poulner near Ringwood at 6am after a tip-off. Three members of staff were also arrested by public protection officers from Hampshire Constabulary following contact from the Border Agency. Last night the three employees remained in custody.

A spokesman for the agency said: “The operation was intelligence-led and targeted immigration offenders working illegally at the home.

“Eleven people have been detained by the UK Border Agency.”

He added that the raid was supported by Hampshire County Council’s adult services department.

Immigration officers are questioning those arrested tonight.

The home, in Linford Park Road, was rated adequate and given one star in its latest inspection by the Commission For Social Care.

Nothing will happen, just look at the Polythene companies in southampton that keep getting raided.Never any details released of any fines or how many deported as they just get away with it.

David Cameron,please please tackle Immigration in this once great
Country of ours,at the moment it is
killing it.
If the church and government don't
meet very soon to tackle this problem,this country will be a Islamic
ruled state within the next 30years.

I wonder what the attitude would be if he did clamp down, and sent a lot of them packing only to find that other countries followed suite and we found Brits being sent home from all parts of the globe.
Presumably you would then start bellyaching that they were being ant-British!

Why are you commenting on stories in Southampton when you live in Wakefield?

What does the church have to do with immigration?

Does everyone up north share your views?

If they are illegal then why not send them back as they do not have the right to be here.They take cash jobs and pay no taxes or ni so basically stealing from all of us and the health service.The people who employ the illegal cheap labour and get rich of the back of this should be prosecuted and have their wealth confiscated just like the drug dealers.

Roll eyes, and wait for the sound of the jackboots marching from the usual suspects....

88 hythe why don't you submit a Freedom of Information request to the police authority, if you are that desperate to know how many people are being deported?

David Crook made no mention of the word 'Illegal' before immigration. It would appear that he wants the Church and the Government in this country, where we have the freedom to choose which religion we follow, to legislate against followers of the Muslim faith.
Racists use many arguments in an attempt to justify their opinion, with the vast number of things that they claim to be 'facts' do not, in fact, stand up to scrutiny.
Invariably, these bigots are failures who pick on minority groups as easy targets, in the hope that they will look good by comparison.
Rather sad don't you think?

the church and the state are inter-twined under our current political system away. If people truly fear islam they need to do 2 things. 1 would be to follow Christ, the other would be to go back to having large families. It's what they are doing in America at the moment.

I only want to know the final outcome of the other raids in southampton and if any action was taken and not just brushed under the carpet to keep all the pc brigade happy at the expense of us all.This information you do not get from the police.

On average, out of the 11 arrested, maybe one or two will be removed. There are far too many legal obstructions put in the way of the process, but one of the main reasons is that their own countries refuse to accept them back without a passport, and then refuse to issue them with one because they say they can't be identified! This situation deteriorated very badly during the Blair govenment, and there are no signs that Cameron is going to do very much about it.

I believe many people on the South Coast and in Southampton share the same view, I know this because I hear almost daily, however I don't travel to Wakefield that often or the Yorkshire area, so I asked the question that's all.

Don't see your problem with me asking a question, by your reaction to my question, I assume you share the same view as David Crook.

I still don't know what the church has to do with immigration?

Your argument about Brits abroad and being sent home simply doesn't hold water.
.
Some of the reasons include those Brits taking money to an overseas destination and feeding the local economy, those Brits living and working overseas receive few if any benefits from the relevant welfare states and often those overseas destinations need the experience of a Brit because their own economy may be evolving.
.
What the UK has been receiving by way of immigration is for the most part poor quality labour, pushing our own underclass further down the toilet and cultures which in some cases will not be happy until they have converted every last man, women and child to their ways - that's what their "bible" clearly states is their job.
.
Now think about what sort of country you want for your children and their children.

If these people were caring for residents of the Nursing Home, and not doing domestic duties, how did they pass any CRB checks which require you to prove your identity. Foreign Passports would have a visa showing right to stay and work, UK driving licence and numerous other acceptable documents all require some tie up to an English address and length of residence.

A third way perhaps......don't fear Islam and don't be rail-roaded through irrational fear to follow another religion based upon a ficticious character; that by it's own handbook preaches salvation through fear all praying to 'God'
"Arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully"

Not quite a solution I would advocate, nor would I endorse the solution being to have more children simply for an increased rate of said indoctrination.

Education, tolerance and integration is the way forward - not separation.

Believe in true humanistic values, not fairytales, propaganda and hatred.

Teor,
Effectively, you included religion in your argument. It's tribalism, (racism ?) and your remark that a Northerner shouldn't be commenting on South coast issues smacks of religion.

Well done to the UK Border Agency for there excellent work here. Lets hope our Government can back your hard work up and send any illegal immigrants home. I hope the nursing home is brought to justice for their illegal practices. How about instead of trying to make as much profit as possible by employing cheap labour you invest in local hard working youth and train them up to be the next generation of careers in this country, because by crikey we are going to need them to help look after the baby boomer generation.

I'd like to live in a country where the word bigot is appropriate used and not just banded around by the far left, tree hugging socialist "unite against fascism" terrorists, who are happy just to see a once great country flushed down the pan because of their negligent tolerance.

Not one person above, racist bigot or otherwise, has thought to focus on the potential abuse carried out against the vulnerable residents at Linford Park. Presumably the manager of the home, who has been arrested for potential neglect, is not an illegal immigrant. Doesn't make me particularly proud of my country!
