They are all economic migrants. If the BBC would like to come to Gambia and do some fearless investigative journalism , I could be their guide. Alas, the facts would not fit in with BBC propaganda !

Cost of Gambian passport, visa, and one way flight is about £1000. Average monthly income there is about £50. Even "cutters" don't earn that much ! So who sponsored her ?

It has its own immigration problems with people fleeing conflict in other countries coming to Gambia for safety !

There are plenty ( all women, it is not a man's job ) who will do it and make a good living out of it. This woman's claims are ludicrous. Did they say how she travelled to UK ?
