Whatever You Do, Don't Pack Lingerie for a Trip to England

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

So, apparently in the UK it's fine to turn away someone at the airport if the Border Agency doesn't approve of the wardrobe they've brought. In the case of a 32-year-old Brazilian woman, she was recently refused admission to Newcastle from Geneva when her luggage contained only T-shirts, lingerie, and a robe. 

And this is illegal because...?

For one thing, the woman wouldn't specify her plans in Newcastle, other than seeing the city center. For another, she had been refused admission to the UK three months prior, when she attempted to fly into Belfast with sex toys and a list of escort services. 

 A spokesperson for the Border Agency said, "Visitors to the UK must play by the rules. Those who do not are refused entry and sent home." Sounds like this woman is guilty of being sexy! But what rules did she not play by? BBC News did not specify.

Sounds like she was going to England to be a prostitute.

I think they don't want to import those.

As a Newcastle man, she sounds properly dressed for a night in the big market. Plus seeing the city centre will take you exactly 4 mins which sounds like a crap holiday to me.
