makosi: terrorists are treated better than me
Big Brother's Makosi has hit out at immigration officials threatening to deport her from the country and complained:

"Terrorists are treated better than me.''

The 24-year-old Zimbabwean has been told to leave Britain for breaking the terms of her working visa.

She quit her nursing job to appear on the Channel 4 reality show.

Makosi was stopped by police on Monday over a driving matter and officers passed her on to immigration officials to be questioned about her visa.

She said: "Terrorists don't even go through that. Terrorists are paid £2,000 a week to look after their health and stuff. A lot of illegal immigrants are paid to stay in this country and are fed by taxpayers.

"I am here paying my taxes and working but I'm treated like a thug.''

Makosi said she was stopped by police on the M25 for not wearing a seatbelt.

She recalled: "They checked my details and said there was a flag on my name telling them I had overstayed my visa so they needed to take me in for questioning.

"The immigration person took four hours to come out. They took my fingerprints and a DNA swab from inside my cheek.

"I felt like a criminal. It was not nice at all.''

Makosi's visa was curtailed and she plans to launch an appeal.

The former Big Brother housemate said she hopes to return to nursing - but cannot go back yet because she is too famous.

"I have a lot of magazine and TV things coming up and I can do a lot for charity. After that I can go back to my old life,'' she explained.

What does this girl think she is??

She was a contestant on a tv game show, not the UN secretary general!!

Love, get over yourself!

now she is just over the top:nono:

shes just upset and i don't blame her!
Yes its her own fault for leaving her job but you can't blame her for being upset. Anyone would in her position

She should get over herself. :rolleyes:

Yes, but it is her fault as you say! You can't blame the authorities for taking action. And what on earth is she on about when she says that terrorists are paid £2000 a week? Ridiculous. She says that she feels like a criminal - well if she's here illegally, does that not make her a criminal?

That's a point Ruth!

If Makosi did break the terms of her visa by resigning and joining up with Big Brother, then she should face the consequences.

Yet, on the other hand, Big Brother producers should have sat her aside and made sure she knew the consequences of her actions before she made the choice to go ahead with them.

Both fair arguments IMO.

Tom. :bigsmile:

She probably thinks laws don't apply to Princess Makosi.:rolleyes:

Pompus, arrogant, saddo. Who the HELL does she think she is, not only knowingly breaking the law, but then acting like rules don't apply to her. I CERTAINLY wouldn't lose any sleep if she got booted out of the country.

agreed!

I agree Tom. The thing I can't understand is that surely the program makers would have known that she was breaking the terms of her visa, by giving up her job? So in that case, I'm surprised that they allowed her to appear on the show at all.

its not funny to talk about yourself in the 3rd person!

No, it somewhat portrays her as a complete and utter nutter, and we all know that's not true, don't we?

Yes, well, it's difficult to treat some terrorists at all, considering their tendency to blow themselves up.:rolleyes: If you want to follow in their footsteps, I sure as hell won't be stopping you, as long as you aren't in range of innocent by-standers.

...(I'm a very sick person, please don't take this post too seriously.)

The article says Her lawyers are adamant she has done nothing wrong. Her work visa was for four years, and if she had remained at Wycombe hospital until its expiry in 2007, she would have been entitled to automatic residency.

Erm...fair enough, but she didn't remain at the hospital until 2007! Surely that's the point.

Still at least she didn't have to miss her precious hair appointment:rolleyes:

lol ruth.

Get her out, she's talking complete rubbish! She has broken the rules of her visa and she serves no purpose over here.

Agreed.

LOL! :laugh:

So the entire police force have been notified about Makosi. Flagged as they call it. Makosi has broken a rule maybe. But is this any reason for the authorities to go OTT. No it is not. What she has done is it any reason to give her the "Hate" she is recieveing. No it is not.

This whole Makosi deportation threat is a political exercise in conning the public that the government are on the case of illegal immigrants etc etc......It's good old fashioned political persecutaion from a police state mentality that has nothing better to do than persecute none dangerouse people for political publicity purposes.

She is right about terrorists being treated better. If it was a terrorist it would take years of court appeals to get them out if at all. As it's Makosi who did the evil thing of wondering off into a TV show. Thats a diferent kettle of fish and of course authority mentality style she should be thrown out ASAP.

People are hateful enough to support this sort of OTT persecution. Finger printing and DNA testing a game show contestent...What a wast of tax payers money and police time. No wonder they don't have the time to catch real criminals and deport people who are a real menace.

Typical of a police mentality run state a nice soft target to get themselves publicity...:devil:

true

Total and utter drivel from start to finish. You should try stand-up.

I don't doubt that the Police have gone way over the top in this instance. It may well be the case that stopping her for not wearing a seat belt was just an excuse. However, it doesn't alter the fact that if she is there illegally, something should be done.

However, I have to take issue with the assertion that terrorists are treated better than Makosi. If someone is arrested on alleged charges of terrorism, they have to be found guilty of that offence (as of course with any other offence). Also, where does she get her assertion that terrorists are paid £2000 per week from?

And I still don't understand why she was allowed to go on the show in the first place:conf:

Forgot to say, she did rather place herself in the public eye, so the authorities were bound to take notice of her.

Agreed, Ruth.
You can't publicly break the law and expect to remain unnoticed, that would be either extreme arrogance, or extreme stupidity. Or, in Makosi's case, both.

i cant wait to see the back of her :thumbs:

I dont think that the police have been OTT. It has been made to sound as if she is the only person who is flagged with the police! Anyone who is here on a work permit that they have breached will be flagged up on the police database, princess Makosi is not special for being flagged with the police she would just like us all to think that she is!

:dog::dog:

Actually you're right Sunny. I take back my earlier comment about the Police going over the top. What does she expect exactly? Breaks the law and then goes all out for all the publicity she can get! Serves her right.

And Fangz is right to say that Makosi is both arrogant and stupid.

I wont pretend to like Makosi. However, let us bear in mind the facts:

1. She knowingly broke the rules of her visa.
2. She flashed her ta-ta's to the nation on BB knowing fine well that it wouldn't be taken very kindly to back home in Zimbabwe.
3. She has nobody to blame but herself. Nobody forced her to break the rules of her visa. Nobody forced her to get her t!ts out for the lads/lasses*(Delete as applicable)

Therefore, I conclude, she must leave the country. People are always on about "equal rights". Everyone else who comes in to this country and breaks the rules of their visa gets deported, so therefore it's only fair that we treat Makosi the same. We can't have her thinking we are treating her differently now, can we?

Well said Stropz!

You should try the help of a therapist..

Ruth said.. Also, where does she get her assertion that terrorists are paid £2000 per week from?

I think Makosi might have been refering to the story in the press about that islamic character that was under threat from our government for deportation but instead left the country and has since been banned from returning. It was reported that the state paid him thousands in benefit. I don't know if it was a true report or not but it;s something that might be sticking in Makosi's crawl and rightly so me thinks.....

She said you occupy so much of her time that she has no free slots available at the moment.

Oh right, thanks for that:thumbs:

Yes, I can understand anybody being annoyed about that; I was extremely annoyed myself.

But I still think that Makosi has to face the fact that if she is here illegally, she would rightly face deportation. She didn't help herself by appearing on national television, and drawing so much attention to herself, but she should be treated according to the same rules as others in her situation are treated. If she has breached the rules of her visa, then she shouldn't be here.

Incidentally, I am quite sure that it is not the usual police force who deal with immigration matters, it is officers whose jobs are to deal specifically with immigration cases.

I take your point Ruth over Makosi being treated like anyone else. However it seems to me that the code of proportionality is not being adhered to with regards to her. Some of it is well OTT.

The Police ahh.....I used to supervise a small security team within the civil service..Now Police I could tell things about.....But this is not the forum...But to give you a clue you know the old saying perhaps..."never trust a copper"......

You know I could almost read your mind!! If you were not out of it...:laugh:

Congratulations. I can barely read your posts. I'm only familiar with English, really.

How the hell are the police being OTT? Making sure that Makosi takes the consequences for her actions? How DARE they? She's Princess Makosi, laws are for the commoners!
Never trust a copper? My uncle is a 'copper', and I'd trust him with my life. I mean, he only tries to do the best for the community, and make sure it isn't overrun by criminals.
I think you're off your head, and don't know what you're typing about.

She should be deported just for talking about herself in the third person!
