13 year old Ahmad’s family are in hiding in Afghanistan. He escaped with his uncle & aunt when Kabul was evacuated 3 years ago. The Home Office rejected their application for family reunion. This is what causes desperate journeys in small boats. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/arti...

We should never have pulled out. So many desperate people just trying to survive and be with there family yet the government can't pull it's finger out to help after causing so much ,mayhem . If we didn't sell the weapons in the first place then we wouldn't have half of the wars in the world.

Serious question here. How many can we take in ? There’s billions of people worldwide in unsafe conditions can we take them all ?

"As such I am satisfied that this refusal has not breached your right to a family life.” What about the child's right to a family life? Complete and utter cuntery.

According to this article, we know of 80 children who were separated from their families in the chaotic evacuation of Kabul. What is the benefit of keeping 80 Afghan families apart like this? For what? A tiny number of people whose lives we are ruining FOR WHAT?

Yeah, just callous how readily these people got thrown under the bus in their moment of need under the cover of a cold bureaucratic facade
