A Nigerian woman who tried and failed eight times to secure asylum in Britain was finally granted the right to stay after joining a terrorist organisation just to boost her claim. The Telegraph has the story.
The judge who gave the 49 year-old woman the right to stay acknowledged that she was not being honest about her political beliefs and had become involved with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) only “in order to create a claim for asylum”.
The woman, who came to the UK in 2011, joined IPOB in 2017. A separatist group that has been blamed for acts of violence against the Nigerian state, it has been banned as a terrorist organisation by Nigeria but is not proscribed in the UK.
Upper tribunal judge Gemma Loughran ruled that the asylum seeker’s activities on behalf of the group meant she had a “well-founded fear of persecution” under human rights laws due to her “imputed” political opinion.
The disclosure in court documents, seen by the Telegraph, is the latest immigration case in which migrants have used human rights laws to halt their deportation or win the right to live in the UK.
It is the fourth case exposed by the Telegraph this week. Previous examples include an Albanian criminal who avoided deportation after claiming his son had an aversion to foreign chicken nuggets and a Pakistani paedophile who was jailed for child sex offences but escaped removal from the UK as it would be “unduly harsh” on his own children.
On Wednesday, the issues raised by the cases dominated Prime Minister’s Questions, with Sir Keir Starmer branding as “wrong” another tribunal decision that allowed a Palestinian family to come to live in the UK after they applied through a scheme for Ukrainian refugees.
He said Parliament, not judges, should make the rules on immigration and pledged Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, would work on closing the loophole.
Chris Philp, the Shadow Home Secretary, said the Nigerian case was “patently absurd”.
“This shows judges are inventing new and comically ludicrous interpretations of vague European Convention on Human Rights’ (ECHR) articles in order to allow foreign criminals and illegal immigrants to stay in the country,” he said.
“This is an abuse of the power judges have been given.
“It is clear to me that a radical overhaul of human rights law is needed in order to end this abuse by the judiciary – who have taken for themselves what amounts to legislative powers.”
It follows controversy over some asylum seekers converting to Christianity to boost their cases, or making false claims about their sexuality.
The Nigerian woman, who was granted anonymity, submitted eight different appeals against a rejection of her right to remain in the UK. They ranged from claims under ECHR Article Eight, which guarantees a right to a family life, to assertions she was a victim of trafficking.
They were all rejected over a 10-year period.

But don’t fear, Yvette Cooper is ‘working on closing the loophole’ which will no doubt be as impressive as Twotier ‘smashing the gangs’, holding of breath is not recommended….
By not recommending I hold my breath you are threatening my right to both recommend and be recommended breath-holding exercises. This kind of thing is why I fled my native country after I applied breath-holding to several of my acquaintances who sadly are no longer able to benefit from my breath-holding services because I had to flee the country when the government there decided, like you, that I was no longer permitted to perform my breath-holding on other people.
Do you understand? Do you?
What a pestilence these human rights lawyers have become.
Not a peep from the pestilence five years ago, when, to stop the spread of a grotesquely-exaggerated seasonal pestilence, pestilential governments of all shapes and sizes stopped the liberties of entire populaces.
Case rested. Quad erat demonstrandum, Your Honour.
Take them down.
Talking of bent lawyers, because it’s Clown World we’re all living in now ( actually the U.K is looking more clownish than the NL, it has to be said ), these Pakistani thugs at Manchester airport have pleaded ‘not guilty’, when the footage which clearly contradicts their plea has gone viral for months now. What do we bet the outcome of this trial will be?
”Pakistani Brothers Plead NOT GUILTY to ATTACKING Police at Manchester Airport
At Liverpool Crown Court Mr Amaaz denied two counts of causing actual bodily harm; one count of assaulting an emergency worker; and one of common assault.
Muhammad Amaad, 25, also from Rochdale, pleaded not guilty to one count of causing actual bodily harm.
Their trial will take place on June 30th and they were granted BAIL until the trial.”

And why in the world would you call both your sons ‘Mohammed’, just with slightly different spellings?? Honestly, the mind boggles. No wonder it’s the commonest boy’s name now when even siblings are sharing the same name. People are thick;

Most likely that video will be somehow deemed as prejudicial against them, and therefore somehow inadmissible, or some other such BS defence for them!
So bash police officers and you get bail. Mean tweets and held in remand in prison? Or contempt of court and held in solitary confinement?
How many appeals are unsuccessful applicants allowed exactly?
Is it just open ended until its successful?
She arrived in 2011, FFS! Pathetic p*ss-take is what it is. And what it takes for the Lefty traitors to deport anyone, god only knows. It’s like a kind of ”the scummier the better, we’ll take and keep them all” sort of attitude, or that’s certainly how it comes across. We know for a fact the U.K gets all the rejects from France, for starters. What does it say about a country’s government that it will give asylum to migrants that have been turned down from other safe countries? It looks to me more like a recruitment drive because there’s currently zero deterrents, from what I can see.
Arrived 2011 and will have been in receipt of benefits ever since. She’s probably cost tax payers a million quid since getting here : cash benefits, free housing, free dentistry, free medical care, free eye care, free prescriptions and of course free legal services. She probably has a couple of social workers at her beck and call as well. Perhaps I should revise the one mill £.
Rupert Lowe digging the dirt on how well these migrants are being looked after at the taxpayer’s expense and to the detriment of those more needy. He said elsewhere a doctor confirmed this is what’s happening at this hotel so what’s the betting this is the way it goes for them all? They don’t go to the GPs as the GPs will go to them, or should that be ”the mountain comes to Mohammed”?
”A separate migrant hotel confirming a fortnightly visit from a GP, nurse and an admin assistant along with translation services.
Illegal migrants are getting better and easier access to a GP than the British.”

Also, can you think of any reason why these migrant hotels would need to employ cleaners? Because I can’t. These are able-bodied men entering the country! And if they can wield a machete they can get familiar with handling a broom/mop/hoover etc FFS .
”We are all funding cleaners for illegal migrants in these hotels.
This is what was left for a cleaner by one of the young foreign males…
‘not a female or a family to be seen’ I am told.
It is a total fraud.”

Exactly. Failed appeal – aeroplane tomorrow. Case closed.
I don’t see why we, the taxpayers should pay for any sort of appeal. Asylum claim denied – then in detention until the next plane out.
I suppose it’s a case of if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again…
All that matters is that the Christian West finds a bold and aggressive solution for removing activist judges who overrule democratically elected politicians.
This is the real war, with our own 5th Column. It began 1997 with Blair, just count the lawyers in his cabinet. Since that day, they’ve run rings around the flacid, naive Cons.
I’m curious to see what Trump’s new legal picks (like Mike Davis) do about this. I’ve watched Bannon’s War Room for 4 years and its clear there’s a plan.
Netanyahu too is being lawfared right now by the activist Israeli AG on bogus corruption charges(in the middle of an existential war).
I think a level of coordinated attack against these evil judges from US, UK (in 2029) and Israel is brewing.
I hope you are right Neil.
Meanwhile, in Munich, a bit of vehicular jihad took place just this morning, courtesy of an Afghani migrant. The irony is that he ploughed into a load of Lefty pro-immigration demonstrators;
”An Afghan migrant has driven a vehicle into a left-wing Ver.di demonstration in Munich, injuring at least 28 people right before national elections.
Ver.di serving as the largest service sector union in the country and also routinely aligns itself with left-wing, pro-migration parties.
The attack will surely send political shockwaves through the country.
The attacker has already been arrested and no longer poses a threat. Currently, his motives are unknown. Police say he is an asylum seeker with a record for theft and other offenses.
There are multiple serious injuries and a toddler is currently fighting for his life.”

Meanwhile, ‘City of Culture’ Bradford is looking not so much ‘multicultural’ as ‘mono-cultural’ nowadays…But I’m sure these people were just cherry-picked for this video and don’t represent the real demographics of the place…Pff;
”City of Culture Bradford made this video which does not feature any non-Pakistani Muslims. One lady says:
“For me Bradford’s diversity means I’m able to stay in touch with my culture as well as learning about other people’s culture.”
We are strangers in our own country. We are being erased with our culture & history.”

It’s been a while since I was last in Munich, so I’m not completely up-to-date with the latest developments in the public mood but do they still hand out chocolate, balloons and teddy bears to the new arrivals stepping off the train at Hauptbahnhof?
I remember how proud the left-wing media was and how they used to bang on about the Germans having a real Willkommenskultur.
And how, us bigoted right-wing xenophobes should hang our head in shame for not entirely embracing the spirit and harbouring doubts that Wir schaffen das will be a roaring success story.
What a surprise, not. Another failed asylum seeker. But what the heck is a ”tolerated migrant”? This is where ‘suicidal empathy’ gets you, when governments prioritize supposed ”human rights” of migrants over the safety and rights of their citizens as well as national security;
”JUST IN: German authorities rejected the asylum application of Afghan man Farhad N., who wounded 28 in Munich in a vehicle attack.
However, he was allowed to stay in Germany as a “tolerated” migrant.”
https://x.com/RMXnews/status/1890053344313638988
I think this lady’s comment sums things up perfectly because there’s a formula that needs to be followed, it seems. It’s now become that predictable due to the regularity that it’s almost like the whole thing, from initial attack, profile of the perpetrator and response of authorities, is scripted;
“Car – crowd – seriously injured. You’re just waiting for official confirmation, but you always know in the first second that the perpetrator’s profile is no surprise. The question is often only whether it was a Syrian or an Afghan? Police and eyewitnesses confirm that it was not an accident. 20 people seriously injured. There were also children there. And yes, the perpetrator is said to be a 26-year-old Afghan. Munich is one of a sad series of attacks.
Meanwhile, the Greens are trying tooth and nail to prevent the borders from being closed and the further influx of people into Germany being restricted. The SPD is also failing miserably and is sticking to this course because they would rather deal with an alleged new right-wing in the CDU than finally worry about protecting their own population. They will all now come to Munich in a procession of concerned faces and pretend to take action. In 11 days, however, the people will vote for who they really trust to put an end to these massacres.” Birgit Kelle
It all just leads to strengthening support for AfD – hopefully!
It’s horrible to hear of youngsters suffering but for the adults sympathy have I none.
Yes, indeed. It’s like that famous Churchill quote again. Maybe these union members will change their tune now. Miracles do happen. Talk about a ‘rude awakening’. Germany needs the AfD like the U.K needs Reform, and perhaps the AfD will gain more supporters as a result of this latest jihadist attack. There’ll be another in the next day or two, you watch;
”The fact that a Ver.di union demonstration was attacked by an Afghan migrant is an incredible turn of events for the union and Germany as a whole.
Ver.di is considered the most far left big union in Germany, and pushes a radical open borders agenda which has left to thousands of rapes, knife attacks, and murders.
Now, they have tragically fallen victim to their own ideology. Before some people say “they asked for this,” remember that many of these people are simply working-class people with good intentions, and there are also children critically injured.
There are many parallels to the “Festival of Diversity” in Solingen, which featured a Syrian migrant stabbing to death multiple people who were involved in pro-migrant volunteer groups.
Here are some photos of past Ver.di demonstrations. In the second photo, it reads: “Our alternative is named solidarity,” clearly a shot at the anti-immigration AfD party.”

What I don’t understand is why Afghan men are even here in the first place? I mean, what are they fleeing exactly? Oppressing women? Even if they aren’t Taliban, look at the amount of Afghans over here in Europe committing serious crimes, usually raping and killing ( or attempting to ) people. The crime stats from across Europe bear this fact out. The above psycho would’ve been a minor when he traveled to Europe, so did he travel alone or with parents? The fact he’s been here almost a decade yet again confirms that you cannot force people to integrate, especially when they have an incompatible culture.
This is how ‘silos’ or enclaves spring up, then you have parallel societies, which lead to ‘no go zones’, and whole communities policing themselves, as per Birmingham’s Muslims. Some integrate but many don’t, hence how the big ‘multiculturalism’ plan is an epic failure. And it’s not just migrants in general, remember. The crime data always point to Muslims, not other Europeans, not East Asians, but specifically those from Muslim lands or of that heritage if they’re 2nd/3rd generation migrants.
This is all coming from the UN, as per this article. And check out ‘Goal no.17’ in particular;
”On 19 September 2016, for the first time in history, the Member States of the United Nations gathered at the global level within the United Nations General Assembly to discuss issues related to migration and refugees. This process concluded on 10 December 2018 with the adoption of the Global Compact by the majority of UN Member States at an Intergovernmental Conference held in Marrakech, Morocco. The Global Compact is the first government-negotiated agreement that covers all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner.
Its objective is to ensure institutional and regulatory governance that promotes the greatest well-being and (re)integration of migrants in their countries of transit and destination.”

“Upper Tribunal Judge Gemma Loughran” made this decision.
“We are delighted to announce that Gemma Loughran has been appointed as a full-time Judge in the Upper Tribunal, Immigration and Asylum Chamber.”
“Gemma will be appointed with effect from 29 July 2024.”
“Gemma has extensive experience in asylum and human rights law, having worked in the field for over 15 years. She regularly appears in high-level complex asylum and DEPORTATION APPEALS. Gemma has undertaken national security work in the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, acting in DEPRIVATION OF CITIZENSHIP CASES.”
“Prior to coming to the Bar, Gemma worked as a senior asylum appeals caseworker for REFUGEE and MIGRANT JUSTICE (formerly the Refugee Legal Centre).”
Chronicle of a judge stepping aside from a case – Investigations & Analysis – Northern Ireland from The Detail
“COURT transcripts obtained by The Detail reveal that a Crown Court judge stepped aside last year during the trial of a sex abusing priest when the prosecution raised concerns about her admitted friendship with Patrick Walsh, a former Bishop of Down & Connor, who was a potential witness.”
“The case was that of Fr James Donaghy who was later sent to jail for 10 years in February this year after a second trial for offences involving three young boys going back 17 years.”
“The judge who stood down was HER HONOUR JUDGE GEMMA LOUGHRAN who began hearing the case on January 24 last year.”
“But during two days of courtroom drama – Friday, January 28 and Monday, January 31, 2011 – JUDGE LOUGHRAN REFUSED TO STEP ASIDE over prosecution concerns that there may have been a conflict of interest due to her friendship with retired Bishop Patrick Walsh.”
Are a lot of these judges female in the same way that so many of the top brass in the police are now female social workers in uniform?
It seems to me that what is needed is an Annual Citizens’ Review of judges and their decisions, in order to prevent this Creeping Kritocracy = Rule by Judges.
I believe the solution is to purchase a house in close proximity to the judge and turn it into accommodation for asylum seekers. Likely the house will be expensive, but in the long run it will be worth it.
This just shows who’s really in control in the UK, unlike the US where Trump tells ICE to remove more illegal immigrants and they start doing so immediately.
We need a government that’ll take back control and has the balls to stand up to activist judges and civil servants. Maybe if the government had the power to dismiss these people if they block the will of elected politicians this would help.
They probably already do have the power, they just don’t have the balls to use it
