I had to turn it off for fear of becoming a Racist!
What channel is this on? I wanted to watch it and expected it to be on BBC1, but all we have here is some 80's revival shit for Children in Need.

It was before that...I turned over to marvel at Italy contriving to feck it up against Sweden.

Crowd full of late forties mums enjoy it
Yes, but the reaction of the crowd in the background as the kids were trying to work out how to play vinyl and they slid the needle across it was gold. Noooooooooooooo.
Sorry, took the thread away there, it was shocking and I also went down the racist route I am afraid, made me feel terrible.
Plymouth Uni involved too, will be very interesting to see any repercussions on this.

not really, more foreign crooks on the make in this country, just another side to the fake language schools a few years back

Of course you'd know, what with your decade spent studying at a Cambridge University college.
Why are several of the posters on this thread worried that they might be racists, what was it about the program that made them feel like this?

I'm not in denial, my dull, monosyllabic, thick friend. I'm just chuckling at the very idea that you have any sort of CLUE on the matter.you keep on living in denial

I think Plymouth University are probably feeling ever so slightly miffed about this programme. There's not a huge amount they can do to ensure the work are sent is written by the student that puts their name on it, if it is bespoke work. Happens all the time.
Shall we just say that the majority of those behind the fraudulent actions were of certain backgrounds. I think this does need to be addressed, we cannot pretend that it is everyone and all cultures at this type of fraud, there is a very clear link to culture and i would say it is racist to NOT look at that factor.
The amount of fradulent documents included in university applications from places like (obviously) Nigeria, Pakistan, India and the Middle East is incredible. There's no training provided in how to detect them (Home Office should do this for international applications) and no time to follow them all up, so it rarely gets done at all. This programme is alarming but not in the slightest bit shocking (not to me anyway, but I work in this area).

A good friend of mine is a fraud investigator for car crash claims, amazing how many times certainly nationalities are involved in such incidents.

the moment the Romanians had free access to this country the writing was on the wall

Ah yes, because us Native Brits are absolutely incapable of committing crime.
And doing manual labour jobs like that on farms.
