I suppose the piece was written to highlight how difficult it is to deport anyone under the current laws.

Is there a law in Albania that a particular type of socks must be worn?
There's an M & S online website for Albania. I can advise them which socks my DGS wears to school for them to put in an order from there.

Where is the child's mother in all this?

TBH, I think the child is going to have problems wherever he lives. So it might just as well be Albania as the UK.

But without the original tribunal ruling it's impossible to judge

Well said.

Chicken nuggets or any one particular food are not essential for survival.

Can't they deal with the child's food preferences and source alternative materials for his clothes in Albania? My DGS had similar issues, it took effort on the parents' part to get him to do things, but with love and perseverance he is doing fine now.

Then Home Secretary Priti Patel ordered he should be deported to Albania and stripped of his UK citizenship, but Disha appealed and was backed by a judge at an immigration tribunal.

The judge ruled that deportation would be unfair to his son – known only as C – for him to remain in the UK and be separated from his father, or to be forced to go with him to Albania.

C was said to have 'sensory difficulties' with some clothing, such as socks, and certain types of food which meant he would 'refuse to do anything'.*

The pice above, taken from DM, is a slightly less screwed version of the reasons.

I thought as much, this is not quite the whole story. The government has appealed a tribunal ruling (which none of you would have known about had the government not started an appeal against it) in which it was noted that the child, food sensitivities, sensory issues and difficulties communicating emotions, didn't like 'foreign nuggets'.

The story appears to have been taken from the government's submission to the appeal tribunal. Without seeing the original tribunal ruling it is impossible to know if there was more to the decision than just the chicken nuggets...

The government opened the appeal in August last year, so it's not exactly news, and the appeal is ongoing. No decision has been taken.

Esmay

I'm moving into Buckingham Palace :

I only like living in beautiful ,old historic buildings with lots of servants to wait on me hand and foot .
I also feel upset if I can't wear expensive designer clothes and attend prestigious events having arrived there in a chauffeur driven car .
Not being able to wear tiaras is also disturbing my mental stability .

Oh, you as well. Maybe we can meet up in the throne room with our crowns on 👑👑👑👑

It appeared in the Times this morning.

The DM is not a direct link to the Judge's actual judgement.

I don't believe the DM, either.

Here’s a report from the DM Maizie. Other newspapers are reporting this case, but some are behind paywalls. It appears that the case is going to be heard again by a different judge. It is, unfortunately, true that the tribunal was told that the child doesn’t like the type of chicken nuggets available in Albania. There are other points made about the child but his father is an illegal immigrant and a criminal. It beggars belief. I suspect a human rights lawyer is behind this nonsense,

Without a direct link to the judge's ruling I'm going to no more believe this than I believe the 'host story' being discussed on Chat grin

So allegedly a judge has ruled an Albanian criminal has the right to stay in the UK because of his 10 year old son’s dislike of foreign food, in particular chicken nuggets!

The son does not speak any English and apparently does not officially have any special needs.

I have no words.
