A Ugandan mother-of-two who used a false passport in Bristol to try and get work has been jailed for eight months.

Failed asylum seeker Aisha Nasiwa went to Lloyds bank in Broadmead with a French passport in the name of Aurelie Panga, Bristol Crown Court heard. When the branch's scanning machine detected faults with the passport's bar code and photograph police were called.

Nasiwa, 42, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to possessing the identity document to  establish her identity, making a false representation to the bank and possessing a false national insurance card.

Julian Howells, prosecuting, said Nasiwa gave her correct details to police.

She told officers she had wanted to work and, needing to open a bank account,  bought the passport for £3,000 from a woman at a London railway station.

Mark Worsley, defending, said his client had children aged 20 and 16 living with their uncle in Uganda.

He said: "She tries to pay their school and university fees.

"She's done casual work for friends and has lived two weeks here, two weeks there, for ten years."

Judge Martin Picton said: "Of its kind this is a serious offence."

    “@ harryreg_uk

    So what do the Africans think when slave trading Bristolians went over to their country and stole everything (land,resources and the people)?? Even to this day!!

    England the biggest thieves on this planet!! 90% of the planet plundered by the British Colonial Empire, look it up the facts are documented.

    And your quote: "it's that sort of kindness that's a magnet for millions of spongers"

    What kindness?? Bristols Slave Trading???!!! England owes them!! 400 years free (Forced) labour.”

    “@dicktator, it's that sort of kindness that's a magnet for millions of spongers mate and as you correctly point out, we already have millions, but why welcome millions more?

    A good example, recently an immigrant (yes from that african country again) couple went in a bank my son works in moaning about their bank charges. Amazingly they didn't get them back but neither has worked since they've been here, wanna know why? because they pick up a whopping £1900+ per month in benefits between them - that cash could pay for a Teacher or Nurse!

    I still think paying benefits in vouchers would stop many native and foreign scoungers!”

    “It's Christmas! How about some care and compassion to the millions not lucky enough to have been born in this great country. Inevitably these people, on the edge of Society, are working to get a better life for themselves and their families,in poor quality, poorly paid jobs our indigenous benefit takers are too lazy to deign to undertake. If our native population knuckled down to it and took all the vacant jobs available, there would be no work for incomers and they would soon realise there is no point coming to the UK to improve their lot? Immigration problem solved.”

    “@Black_Sheep - this "poor" woman, still hanging around 10 years after failing asylum miraculously finds £3,000 CASH to pay some random woman in a Train station - do you seriously believe that rubbish?

    And as for trying to open a bank account to get a job, take a wild guess what you qualify for when you legally exist?

    I'm absolutely amazed she got any punishment at all, especially after the Somalian bloke a few months back evading Jail as it was too expensive to send him there by another gutless Judge - only fiddled £38k out of us, what a little luv and so pleased he's giving so much to this country”

    “@black sheep - your statement "we need more people like that in the country."

    Is a joke, right?

    She is an a dishonest, deceptive African. Sadly this is the norm rather than the exception.”

    “You're saying she's a 'waster' but she was (apparently) trying to open a bank account because she wanted to work. I think that's more than can be said for the numerous benefit scroungers we have in this city. If she really did want to find a job to help support her kids through school then good for her and we need more people like that in the country.”

    “spot on @Jimenez47, it doesn't matter how much the general public want wasters like this deplorted, out gutless cowardly politicans, councillors, judges etc... are hell bent on gifting more and more of this country away regardless

    I've never understood why these people hate and despise their own country so much to happily sit back and watch it crumble!”
