Do people know about the scale of fake asylum industries in the UK?

[Legal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c937wldkkw8o)

So apparently BBC uncovered this scandal of a fake asylum law firm.

>The group's website says that only genuine gay asylum seekers are welcome.

>But the men spilling out from the centre's doors onto the pavement outside readily admit to our undercover reporter that all is not as it seems.

>"Most of the people here are not gays," one man called Fahar says.

>Another, who gives the name Zeeshan, goes further.

>"Nobody is a gay here. Not even 1% are gay. Not even 0.01% are gay."

>"There is no check-up to find out if the person is a gay," Tanisa told our undercover reporter.

>"The main thing is what you say. You just have to tell them that 'I am a gay and it is my reality'.

I wonder if the Brits, especially the ones sympathetic towards asylum seekers know about this? I'm would bet money this isn't an isolated case. Similarly a whole chain of fake student visas got to the headlines in Canada last year. Fake degrees, fake institutions, fake everything.
