Asyum Seeking Reaches New Levels

There were two stories that show that the UN charter on Asylum needs serious strengthening ........

Firstly, a wealthy Pakistani cricketer, Zulqarnain Haider is seeking asylum in the United Kingdom, because he has fallen foul of the corruption that is an epidemic in both Pakistan's cricket, and wider society ..... now it seems to me that the political asylum laws were not meant to cover sportsmen dodging bookie gangs .... but I guess it covers everything these days, from African homosexuals, to wealthy sportsmen in corrupt countries.

Asylum Seekers Get Wealthier ....
And then, from the coming "Super Power" China, we are still getting "Asylum Seekers" (whys that then?) .... this one apparently boarded a flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver disguised as an elderly white male .... but apart from the ingenuity, it was pretty dumb as he used a Halloween "Ugly Old Man" mask .... apparently he was only caught his young-looking hands were noted , and later when he emerged from a washroom looking like a man in his twenties


You can buy masks like this all over the net and I found many example such as this one .....

Maybe they should be licenced in case the Canadian Border guards can't spot that they are jokes?
