This has been going on for years. About 5 years ago I had a russian girlfriend. A few times we visited friends of hers, living in houses in West Drayton. One of them was a 3 bed semi and there were about 16 people living in it. There were mattresses everywhere. All of them were illegally working in the UK at heathrow airport, cleaning hotel rooms there. They were mainly from Poland, Romania and Russia. All were here on either tourist or student visas, with no right to work, but were all working full time hours. One couple had overstayed their 6 month tourist visa by about 9 months and had been working the whole time in several jobs. Their aim was to save as much money as possible in about 2 or 3 years, before returning to Romania.
When my then girfriend arrived from russia with a friend, they were contacted by a russian guy running an agency in a very impressive building just off trafalgar square. He wanted to know if they wanted fake visa stamps, asylum documentation, or NI cards to enable them to work. My girlfriend didn't accept, but her friend worked for a few weeks in hotels at heathrow, before disappearing into London to work in a hotel there.
Now, most of the countries that these illegal workers came from are in the EU and they can do this legally.

You don't need cable for Jeremy Kyle, a freeview box should suffice.
