Anthony Olubunmi George, 61, has been refused leave to remain despite living most of his adult life in Britain
Think about how much this cost.
Think about who this is meant to benefit.
Pointless politics.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Guardian also reported on the case of Nelson Shardey, 74, a newsagent from Merseyside who has lived in the UK since 1977 and was refused indefinite leave to remain by the Home Office despite being in the country for most of his adult life.
George has made various applications for leave to remain in the UK, which the Home Office has rejected, most recently on 7 May.
In 2005, his previous solicitors submitted a forged entry stamp in his passport and have subsequently been reported to the police and the legal regulatory bodies.
His current lawyer, Naga Kandiah of MTC Solicitors, cited his poor previous legal representation as the reason for George’s problems.
A previous Home Office rejection of his case states: “It’s open to your family and friends to visit you in Nigeria.”
His situation is not just because of Home Office policies but also because of poor representation by previous solicitors who failed to uphold professional integrity and ethical standards.”
The original article contains 444 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
There are two people. One moved here in 1986 and the other in 1977. The headline is about the guy who moved here in 86.
Yeah, sorry, I figured it out and deleted my comment. The weird thing is I deleted it within a minute of posting it and you replied a while later.
That’s odd. We’re both on the same instance as the community too so you’d have thought that deleting the comment would have been instant.
Syncs can be really weird. I have an account on another instance which constantly runs far behind .world. I’ve made double edits only to have the last one take.
Why would the home office are really getting on with it aren't they. Soon they'll be able to identify and deport people in less than a decade.
