Her Majesty's Guest

Keep it Legal, innit!!
The other day I was walking with my young brother Stick when a burly African trotted passed us panting like a worn out horse. He seemed to be making every effort to run, but could not fathom the last ounce of energy to propel him any faster. He was foaming at the mouth and gasping for air, eyes darting around wildly as if he expected some divine intervention to rescue him from his predicament. Just after he had passed us a policeman ran passed, and within seconds he and this guy were grappling. The small policeman felled him like a tree and held him in a vice within the flash of an eye. They were later joined by a police woman and they formerly arrested the African with his bag and led him off to their police car.

Don’t commit a crime you cannot get away from. The long arm of the British police is just about every where. We walked off pondering over the consequences of this African’s actions. If he was illegal they were going to quiz him about his activities, where he lived, worked, studied and much more. The police were obviously going to pay his address a visit, to surprise his comrades, either at dawn or late in the night. That way they would arrest his other fellow illegals. If he was working they would visit his place of work to visit the same immigration horror on his unsuspecting comrades. It is a tough game.

There is this guy I met who was in prison and he claimed he had done nothing but ended up being locked up. For Christ’s sake he is the first person I know to go to prison without having committed an offence. He had been seeing this girl and she had wanted money off him but he would not relent. She later reported him to the police claiming he had raped her. The police picked him up from his place of work. During his arrest he was found in possession of drugs worth tens of thousands of GBP. Anyway, his girlfriend who was illegally in the UK was deported, they found her at his place of abode, and his fake cousin and girlfriend were also found at the property and were on the next plane to Africa. All because some African could not keep his pecker tucked away for legitimate use!
