No trolling IMO by anyone, after all it was you that posted the alleged incident, threw it out there for everyone to see & comment on - then asked for help, which was provided & YES, its your choice not to share what happened - that I respect, but out of courtesy when you asked for help .... meh!

From the other posters all have said they have never experienced any issues with the UKBA border folks.

It makes one wonder why were you personally treated differently?

So, I guess we'd better leave it at that

And after the idiot trolling of a few here I'm even less interested in making what took place public - as is often said don't feed the trolls.

If you truly want to know some of what the border agency has subjected people to just google it. There's an all too common trend in what's written about them - they severely abuse people. Considering their position and responsibility there is absolutely no excuse for professional misconduct such as the abuse and insults I was subjected to, have been told about and have read over and over - no exceptions.

Were you falsely imprisoned? Refused entry? Merely had the micky taken out of you? Was it a lawful refusal of entry or an unlawful one? Did they make discriminatory comments? What happened could well have a bearing on where people can point you for help.
As for google, yeah, their are a lot of links to stories from papers like the Daily fail where you get half the facts if you're lucky, and a lot of people weeping and wailing and then loving the money they get for their story.
i can't imagine why border staff would consider refusing a British citizen entry on a UK passport, and thats a comment from a witch not a troll. i am genuinely puzzled

I'll admit idiot was the wrong choice of word... fool was more appropriate

I'm sorry to those that are trying to help, but I'm not going to go into details here. I made the mistake of not simply asking for referral to sites that detail citizen rights while crossing the border and left it at that.

I could have said a lot more but... Thank christ for troll filters.

For those that provided links thx but they're more for pursuing a civil suit which is the easy part as opposed to finding information on being well informed and knowing ones rights when dealing with abusing border agents.
