#3  Not to mention a great way to get in country to commit terrorism (though Britian does not lack native muslims who are willing). See: Hani Hanjour.

#2  A great deal for everyone - the "students" get their entry visas and promptly disappear into restaurant work, the schools get money with no need to hold classes, it's a win-win situation. That is, as long as the government doesn't enforce their own laws - my student visa in Japan was checked and the school had to verify that I was indeed attending classes.

#1  The revelation that a large number of colleges have been caught in the crackdown on bogus institutions follows the Daily Mail's disclosure that immigration officers have been ordered to stop deporting foreign students who overstay their visas.
