This is the story of how a competent government service was brought down by inexperience and incompetence. Was it deliberate by envious other departments within or just inexperienced mismanagement? I will lay out the facts and let you the reader decide.

About the Book
If you are looking for something that is well-balanced and politically correct, then this book is not for you. If, however, you are looking for something light and amusing, with an explanation why the UK Border Agency is currently a shambles, then this may answer your questions. But be warned, there is a sad ending, for this is my story.
About the Author
Tim Stocke is the pen name of someone who entered the UK Immigration Service at Heathrow Airport in January 1971 and remained in it through all its identity changes. He took an enhanced early retirement package and has travelled extensively around the world but still has a trace of his Glasgow accent. This is an account of his memories during his time working for the Home Office. Due to the fact that we live in litigious times, this novel comes under the genre of fiction, and names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent. The author lives in happy retirement and can be found early most mornings, weather and tides permitting, walking along his local sandy beach in the South East of England.
