    Why is it relevant to the article about why he came here? The point of the article is that people were fined for reporting him, highlighting the ridiculous policy.

        It’s not, they could have left it out and it wouldn’t have changed anything.

            Why? The article is about the couple being fined for finding the stowaway after they left the port, the gender, age and reason the stowaway came to the UK is irrelevant to that.

              Why do you believe the gender and age were included in the article?

                What would it have changed about it if they weren’t included and it just said “an immigrant”?

                    Honestly, no idea. To me it’s irrelevant to the story of the couple and the policy. It doesn’t matter if they were a man or a woman, young or old. It’s also irrelevant what their height and weight are, their favourite food or sports are.

                    Now you answer my question.
