Designed by F&F. Priced by Tesco. Modelled by Fatou, cell 6
A Tesco checkout girl chosen to model for the supermarket's autumn advertising campaign is in Britain illegally, it emerged today. Fatou Cham, 32, who is from Gambia, West Africa, came to the UK in 1998 on a student visa but stayed after it expired in 2001 ... Immigration officers questioned Miss Cham at her home in East Ham, east London, on Monday.
Next to a picture of Miss Cham modelling a blue dress and heels were the words: 'Designed by F&F. Priced by Tesco. Modelled by Fatou, checkout number 6, Tesco, east London.'
The very thought of those red rimmed glasses wearing corporate marketing twats & PR numpties collectively suffering from dilating sphincters certainly brought a little ray of sunlight to my Monday morning

I believe an exception should be made in her case. She could move in my place I am sure I could find A spot for her.

This is sad, ridiculous and intolerant, at least she has got a reason to stay in the UK- because of her kids to provide them with such a great opportunity and life, which is rare in Africa and surely Fatou Cham is not a bad person she is doing her work properly trying her best; such person is needed in this country and has the right to stay in this land. I wouldn’t call this freedom- everyone has the right to try their best.
I would call this rascism, jealousy because this pretty mum is trying to fulfil her and her kids dreams, (Britain is a nationalist country) I definitely dislike the immigration officers.
What do You think?

I suspect a vested interest...?

Milan,
She broke the law. If she didn't want trouble she could have applied to become a citizen when her student visa was about to run out. That she's in trouble now is her own fault.
