Albanian Crook Was Allowed To Stay In The UK

An Albanian criminal has escaped being kicked out of Britain because his son despises chicken nuggets served in other countries.

Klevis Disha’s petty reason for wanting to stay in the UK has left Britain’s Border Minister “astonished” that it worked – and she stressed the government is appealing a tribunal’s decision, and he should be kept here. Outrage has erupted after an immigration hearing said it would be “unduly harsh” for the 39-year-old to be sent back to Albania partly because his 10-year-old boy – known as ‘C’ in court documents – “will not eat the type of chicken nuggets that are available abroad”.

Disha entered the UK illegally in 2001, when he was 15, lying he was born in the former Yugoslavia. His asylum claim was denied but he was given citizenship in 2007.

He met his partner, an Albanian naturalised British citizen, a year before the couple had two children.

But in September 2017 Disha was condemned to two years’ imprisonment after being found in possession of more than £250,000 in cash – known to be the proceeds of crime. In 2019, then-home secretary Priti Patel ordered he be deported and stripped of his UK citizenship as it had been “acquired through deception”.

After hearing evidence from Disha, his partner and their junk food-loving son, a judge at a lower immigration tribunal said the boy had “additional needs” best catered to in the UK. Disha’s appeal against expulsion was upheld under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to respect for family life.

Documents showed the court was told there was no formal diagnosis of special educational needs for his son. But the lad did have an educational plan to deal with his “emotional regulation, independence, reading and writing”.

In an upper tribunal, Judge David Merrigan disagreed with the conclusion that Albania was unable to meet the boy’s additional needs.

He said the original decision was a “single example” of why the child could not go to Albania – which was that he would not eat “the type of chicken nuggets that are available abroad”. The judge added the boy could remain in the UK and be cared for by his mother.

Home Office minister Dame Angela said about the case, which is ongoing: “It’s not for me to second guess a judgement that we have appealed and we certainly hope that we can get deportation action going in that particular case.

“But that will be for the courts to decide.”

When pressed on whether she believed Disha’s human rights were being breached because of his son’s love of chicken nuggets, she admitted: “I’m fairly astonished.

“What we have to do is say we are serious about this, we have deported a lot of people regardless of whether they like chicken nuggets or not.”

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper appealed the judgment in August last year, claiming there was not enough evidence to show Disha’s deportation would be “unduly harsh” on his son.

A Home Office spokesperson said: “Foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes should be in no doubt that we will do everything to make sure they are not free on Britain’s streets, including removal from the UK at the earliest possible opportunity.

“Since the election, we’ve removed 2,580 foreign criminals, a 23 percent increase on the same period 12 months prior.”

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp fumed: “This case shows how bogus asylum seekers and foreign criminals are ruthlessly exploiting human rights laws and weak judges to stay in the UK.”

As part of its efforts to control border security in the UK, the government has ordered the arrest of thousands of migrants who are unlawfully employed in restaurants, car washes, and nail salons.

Figures show nearly 4,000 arrests have been made after 5,424 visits by immigration enforcement officers from July 5 – when Labour took power – to January 31.

The UK has turned into a farce, and we appear to have lost the plot. Our government has to do something about these migrants and international laws on rights. We need a government that is for British citizens.

These judges are paid far too much, and most of them are all woke and they give into criminals, and our hard-working citizens get booted to the curb. This is an insult to British society!

Our justice system is a shambles. They should have been sent home. The boy can eat something else when he gets hungry – I’m sure he won’t starve himself to death over chicken nuggets.

If this doesn’t show the corruption that is running this country then nothing will. For goodness sake, this lot has got to go and they have to go now.
