“6ft tall, balding 17 year-olds with beards?” – The adult migrants pretending to be children
Many readers will have seen pictures of asylum seekers from boats claiming to be 17 and not looking a day under 30. This has been commented upon, but no mainstream media organisation has been able to publish the latest facts on this alleged phenomenon for its readers, viewers or listeners – until today.
Exclusively with GB News, Stand for Our Sovereignty and Facts4EU can now reveal the results of our research into official data we have uncovered from Home Office records and other information..
Proof: You are nearly 50% more likely to be approved if you are alone and say you are under 18.
Children (those under the age of 18) are treated very differently when it comes to asylum. Firstly they have a significantly better chance of being given leave to stay, and secondly there is well-held opinion that they will receive better treatment overall..
This report reveals the three essential elements to this story and provides the facts and figures which everyone has been wanting to know for so long.

Observations
This report took a great deal longer to produce than usual, owing to the difficulties in obtaining the data. We think it contains important information. We contributed to the observations at the end of Stand for Our Sovereignty's report, so we will not repeat them here.
