Failed asylum seekers are leaving the UK in their droves because they don't like our chilly weather and the state of the NHS, claims a top immigration officer.
Les Williams, a chief immigration officer for the UK Border Agency, said that he and his team have come across scores of illegal immigrants trying to break out of Britain in recent weeks.
He said that of those caught most have said that the lack of sunshine and bad healthcare were the main reasons why they wanted to leave the UK.
The majority of those caught are from Afghanistan and Iraq, where the temperatures rarely drop below 35C.
Mr Williams revealed: "One thing we have noticed recently is people trying to leave the country."
He told Police Review magazine: "We cannot explain exactly why they are trying to go, but when some of these people were questioned they said they wanted to go to a warmer country as they are fed up with the English weather and fed up with their treatment on the NHS."
An immigration insider said he had stopped a group of four Iraqis trying to sneak out of the port of Dover.
He said today: "What Les said is quite right.
"There has been a big rise in the number of illegals were are catching sneaking out of the country."
He added: "A group of four men from Iraq I stopped recently said they were sick of the rain and the cold and just wanted to get home or go to somewhere with a bit more sun.
"They also complained that they couldn't get appointments to see a doctor or a dentist.
"It's all a bit rich really."
