More illegals

Apparently there's some sort of big sporting event going on in London, athletes from all over the world have been invited to compete including those from countries we normally wouldn't allow to come here even for a bet.
So, there's no big surprise that having got here, several of these athletes from various (usually African) nations have simply vanished.
BBC.

Seven Cameroonian athletes have disappeared while in Britain for the Olympics, officials said.
David Ojong, the head of the Cameroon delegation, said five boxers, a swimmer and a female football player had been missing since the weekend.
The reason for their disappearance is not known, amid some reports that they wanted to stay in the UK for economic reasons.
Mr Ojong said the athletes had visas allowing them to stay until November.
"What began as rumour has finally turned out to be true," Mr Ojong said, in a letter sent to the Cameroonian sports ministry.

Other than wondering whether or not it would be worth allowing the Olympics to be housed in a permanent home (say North Korea) I can't say I'm a bit surprised, Cameroon is a piss poor African state its largest city Douala is known as the "armpit of Africa." It has several problems economically mostly due to the fact that it's run by the usual tribal kleptocracy that keeps most African nations poor whilst an elite siphons off the riches that are produced whilst taking a cut from pretty much every deal going. The fact that 24% of the country is Muslim doesn't exactly help either as it's heading into radical territory at a rate of knots. It's not helped by a president who keeps getting elected with 90% of the votes cast either, so things are unlikely to change for the better any time soon. Yet would anyone want to take bets that somehow or other it's our fault that Cameroon is poor and that colonialism was to blame? I'm sure the Guardian and thard of thinking socialists among us do.
So we bring to London athletes from one of the poorest nations in the world and guess what happens? The abscond, hell the odds are pretty good they'll get away with it too.
Bet this wasn't part of the original plane to bring one of the greatest sporting events in the world to us...
