They're A Quick Study

Ya gotta give these U.K. asylum-seekers credit. They're a fast study.

They arrived in the UK unaccompanied, said they were under 18, but didn't have the documents to prove it. As a result, they were held in detention while their ages were checked.

Now they are seeking compensation of £300,000 for being wrongly held.

A Refugee Council spokeswoman's responded: "Detention is vastly overused... and it has a massively damaging effect on adults as well as children". If that's the case, asylum-seekers may just want to stay home. But I doubt that will happen. Where else can you enter a foreign country and then immediately sue for mistreatment?

The U.K. is, if possible, even wackier than Canada.

And that's the way the asylum-seeking Ball bounces.
