Asylum seekers use membership of the Tory Party’s LGBT organisation in order to support their claims. The BBC reported today in an investigation that asylum lawyers are advising their clients to pretend to be gay in order to support their claim. So many devout Christians crossing on boats too…
The Vice-Chairman of the party-affiliated national organisation responded:
“I’ve seen first hand as Vice chair for LGBT Conservatives people trying to sign up and then ask for proof of membership to use in asylum applications. One even told me he was looking to join as his lawyer had told him to join various ‘LGBT groups.'”
The BBC reports “migrants whose visas are due to run out are being given fake cover stories and instructed in how to obtain fabricated evidence, including supporting letters, photographs and medical reports. They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh.” Do they fear for their lives for being Tories too?
Lucy Powell on LBC, asked by Tom Swarbrick for her reaction to Labour MP Samantha Niblett’s call for a ‘summer of sex’ debate in Parliament: “I personally don’t own any sex toys, but each to their own… I’m not really sure that’s the right place for it, no.”
