Hester Bank was born in Sweden in 1968. She is part Scottish and has New Zealand/Australian citizenship. When she was younger the government refused to give her a British passport. Living in Glasgow, George Galloway MP got involved, and they changed a law for her. **It was awkward when she left Britain. Immigration interrogated her, with one customs official saying, "How did you get into Britain without any stamps on your NZ passport? Please tell me." **She is the proud mum of two beautiful children, who are her inspiration every day.
