* OppressiveImmigrationEnforcement: Gatwick Airports Chief Immigration officer [[InsufferableImbecile Ian Foot]] is a recurring character, and presented as moronic racist who blatantly abuses his position to exercise his bigotry, regularly detaining, insulting and harassing anyone who comes through the airport who isn't a white Englishman. Boasting to stop anyone who's name he considers foreign sounding, and even harassing his fellow staff at the airport like Taaj (a Bradford-born English Muslim). Despite this is he is also utterly incompetent, with Ian being effortless fooled by a genuine illegal immigrant, [[EpicFail an elderly foreigner, cause they had a fake passport saying they were a 12 year old British girl.]]
