[illegal immigrant] paddington to be arrested

[Head shakes]:
Paddington Bear will be arrested by police and interrogated over his immigration status in a book marking his 50th birthday.

In the book, to be published next June on the anniversary of his debut in A Bear Called Paddington, the stowaway from Peru will be interviewed about his right to remain in England.

After being arrested, Paddington has no papers proving his identity, because his Aunt Lucy had arranged for him to hide on a ship's lifeboat from Peru after she went to live in a home for retired bears in Lima.
Sigh.

  1. Will he be subject to a control order or maybe banged up in Belmarsh with Abu Hamza?

  4. As I did already tell Jams:
    I could not bear the thought of Paddington being deported.
    Isn’t said where there is a will there is a way?
    Thus, if Paddy could bring himself to dispose his skin by will to her Majesty's Life Guard, this should be the way.
    As his name indicates his real provenience, Paddy f.e. could once make a great post mortem career being one of the nice c(h)aps of the Irish Guards. :)

  5. Of course, he should not mention in his last will that he is immortal. :)

  7. Yes, he'll just have to get streetwise and learn how to stay low in the 'hood.

  8. And then the REAL criminals walk free issuing their threats and victimizing women.

    I loved this post though James. Such a cute picture.

  9. If he'll work for jam sandwiches he'll fit right into our black economy.

  10. His little label will be used to underline the relevance of ID cards.

    Poor Pad.
