Another story highlights the absurdity of asylum policy in the UK.
Recently, it was reported that a Nigerian father, whose asylum claim had been rejected three times, has now been granted permission to stay in Britain after he claimed, at a later stage, that he is homosexual.
The man, who has been granted anonymity, first came to the UK in 1983 but overstayed his visa and left after nine years. He returned in 1996 and made several unsuccessful attempts to seek asylum, including one based on his political opinions and another through marriage to a Portuguese woman.
He has a son from a previous relationship, but he claimed to have been ‘in denial’ about his sexuality at that time.
The 61-year-old man has a conviction for violent disorder and was sentenced to four years in prison in 2003. This aspect of his past raises questions about the UK’s asylum policy and the criteria for granting asylum. In 2006, a deportation order was issued against him, but he was allowed to remain in the UK on human rights grounds after claiming to be homosexual.
Immigration judges have now declared: ‘We consider that his account should not be rejected solely because of his immigration history or because he did not rely on his sexual orientation to remain in the UK before 2015.‘ Their decision carries significant implications for the UK’s asylum policy.
The judges found him to be ‘plausible‘ and Upper Tribunal judge Gemma Loughran said: ‘We are satisfied to the lower standard that he is gay.‘
She added: ‘The appeal is allowed on Refugee Convention, humanitarian protection and human rights grounds (Articles 3 & 8).‘
The British Democrats are committed to putting an end to the migrant invasion with a practical and urgent plan. See how we would initially deal with the problem by implementing the points below:
✅ Deploy the Royal Navy to turn back illegal boats in the Channel.
✅ Deport all illegal migrants and foreign criminals.
✅ Withdraw from the UN 1951 Refugee Convention—end bogus asylum claims.
✅ Leave the ECHR—stop lawyers from blocking deportations.
✅ Stop paying France hundreds of millions to prevent boat crossings—it’s not working! Instead, reinvest in the UK’s border defence.
✅ An immediate ten-year halt to immigration. Our small country is overcrowded.
✅ Rest assured, safety and security for British families will be our unwavering priority.

There are no limits to the scams and deceptions these criminals engage in to stay in Britain. They exploit the civility of our nation and know there are weaklings in high places that will give them exactly what they want.
