Even if you do manage to sneak into the UK illegally, your new employer may want to see your visa to prove you are legal to work.

That would probably disqualify you from any legal work visa at that time.
Get a lawyer or wait till you are legal to enter.
All you are doing here is making yourself look extremely suspect in your actions. Hmmm......wonder if the UK authorities would be interested in this thread?
Oh don be silly...please read carefully....I am asking advise, so for you I will explain it in simpler terms:
We have ANCESTRAL visa's....so we dont need to sneak in anywhere....I was advised by an immigration specialist to avoid Heathrow and rather ravel through Ireland and then on to the Uk to a point of entry as they might not be so strict.
Unfortunately I assumed that there would be border control between Ireland and the Uk.
Also recently my wife's doctor advised against her flying as she is pregnant and the medication they give her will adversely effect her kidney's for which she had treatment.
I do have a work contract signed already and have to start work asap.
I do not have time to mess about with people that want to come make stupid threats...I am not in school anymore... I prefer to hear from people that can offer positive advise or alternatives.
