Mike Clarke worked for 18 years in Immigration Control in London’s larger airports, the last 9 as a Chief Immigration Officer. In his time there, he encountered every scenario you could imagine – and some you’d never dream of! Planes, Passports and Porkie Pies – Slice One details the ups and downs of his working life: queues and crises, joy and despair, cock-ups, punch­-ups, forgers, robbers, liars, lovers, thugs, drugs and always the poorest of the poor. Join Mike as he recounts just some of his more memorable moments, from a man wearing a suit filled with £80,000 cash to his part in the truly shocking sudden death of the Russian Atomic Clock. Planes, Passports and Porkie Pies is a hilarious memoir that will particularly appeal to those familiar with the immigration sector, as well as anyone who has ever suffered at the hands of mindless bureaucracy.
