John Nyombi deported back to Africa

A MAN has been deported to Uganda despite claims that his life would be in danger.
Hampshire campaigners lost their fight to help John Nyombi, known as Bosco, stay in Britain when he was flown back to Africa last night.
The gay 38-year-old said returning to his home country would put his life at risk because of his sexuality.
Bosco had been working for Stonham Housing association, Southampton, with mentally ill people for six years while awaiting the result of his immigration application.
In Uganda homosexuality is illegal and carries a punishment of life imprisonment.

Glad to see common sense has prevailed. Its about time immigration was closed for at least 10 years.Does this chap go around with a sign saying 'Im Gay' to be perscuted or whatever ?Hopefully there will be many more deportations to bods who are here just to live off our taxes.No doubt some plum with say thats all racist etc Yawn zzzzzzzz
No one really thinks that Whitehall is going to throw out the real problem cases the ones that if they bother to work they don't pay taxes, or like many more they just bring all their wives over and expect others to pay for their food/housing/schooli
ng.
The UK welcomes hard working people to it's shores not layabouts, but in this case they sent the wrong man home.
Good luck you'll need it.

There will be those who know nothing about John's case who will make silly uninformed remarks, but that is no matter.
John legitimately sought asylum because he had - and HAS - a legitimate case.
Sarah McCarthy-Fry MP certainly thought so - she tried to intervene to save John from being deported.
The fight is not over. John - and the many, many legitimate asylum seekers who are here because of persecution because of their sexuality - deserve justice.

Likewise - many illegal immigrants are well versed in what to do when swarming to the UK honey pot and it doesnt take much imagination cast a cynical eye over this or any other case?
Our country has a proud record of human rights and welcoming GENUINE asylum seekers. Trouble is - it's all been abused over recent years and the results are plain to see.
GB is the sucker nation of the world -all down to vote-trawling idiots at the top.
Very few of us know the facts of this case so difficult to comment or make any judgemental observations (as is our right)
It does seem that this Bosco has been working hard and in a very worthy setting so it does all seem rather sad. I'm really lambasting the fakers of the world and they are still a-coming!

Now ask your former employers to re-engage you and they can apply for your visa. It will all be legal and above board then.

In fact a lot more than you are aware of lornadoone39. The fact is the immigration service has decided (after six years) to deport him on the evidence available to themselves and not you or I or the Echo.
John's deportation is a travesty of justice.There will be those who know nothing about John's case who will make silly uninformed remarks, but that is no matter.John legitimately sought asylum because he had - and HAS - a legitimate case.

If you play the system then dont try ******* them over and at the same time be on their payroll. All government departments are just one key press away from each other.

Perhaps LornaDoone would like to inform us "uninformed" how many applications and appeals this guy had (all, no doubt at the taxpayers' expense).
In the end, the law has to take its course. It's always possible to feel sorry for one individual, but being a nice guy isn't sufficient reason to be allowed to stay here

Experienced prisoners know how to 'play the system' and can often feign 'mental' problems that often results into early release."
I flagged this up earlier and for some reason the comment was deleted, who knows why.
The penal estate is full of mentally ill people, haven't a clue where king mush gets his knowledge from, but it's not from the real world. It's dangerous to comment on things you clearly know nothing about in such an authoritive manner, some people might be as dumb as you and believe what you're saying.
The prison system has become a warehouse for the mentally ill since the closure of many secure hospitals in the Thatcher era. Prison officers have to deal with, on a daily basis, with often dangerous people that they are not equipped to deal with, people who should be in a different kind of insitution.
Experienced prisoners don't play the game like that, doh! Play the mentally ill card you don't get a release date. Unexperienced or daft prisoners maybe, certainly not experienced.
John Nyombi was deported becausse he had no legitimate claim to be here, it may not sound fair but that's how it is.
The vast majority of overseas prisoners are deported when released, it's just the media picks upon the few who aren't.
It's like with kids, if you were to read the Echo and believe it, you'd think the vast majority of youth are out of control, when in fact it's a minority. Good news doesn't sell newspapers, simple as that.

How is this retarded statement allowed to remain undeleted. Or is it still okay according to the Echo to abuse the white working class.

All those that respond to the case without knowing the facts about the individual are making sweeping juggement about a sittuation they do not understand.
Please refrain from stereotyping all immigrants because they are not all the same. To do so is just prejudice.

Uganda is Uganda! It is not safe - However it does not justify all and sundry arriving at airports and seaports from Uganda and adjoining territories seeking asylum cos they feel 'persecuted'.
I would feel persecuted if I were in Uganda.

"The penal estate is full of mentally ill people, haven't a clue where king mush gets his knowledge from, but it's not from the real world"
We all know you dont have a clue about my sources of knowledge so why are you so curious?
"It's dangerous to comment on things you clearly know nothing about in such an authoritive manner, some people might be as dumb as you and believe what you're saying"
'Dangerous' to comment in a newspaper forum? Amazing rhetoric.
You also resort to personal insults by labelling me as 'dumb' ? I think you know how wrong you are as well as underestimating the intelligence of other readers who (hopefully) have their own minds to use in whatever way they choose? Hardly my problem and you or I have no idea of what goes through anyone elses heads.
The prison population does have a high proportion of 'mentally ill' lags and this is mostly caused by their stupid self-indulgent use of drugs. Despite the pathetic Cheech and Chong merchants who try and convince everybody that it's cool to smoke dope - we all know the psychosis caused by cannabis use.
Oh - I see that Thatcher is to blame yet again. Yawn. You must be one of these people who believe that any one person 'rules' any country? Even Denzil (the really real one) knows this!
Your naivety on the question of some prisoners 'playing the game' is also astounding. Funny isnt it, but most of these people claim to be 'innocent' of whatever crime they were sectioned for. Especially killers over on Death Row USA.
The final paragraph about Echo readers believing that MOST kids are out of control just sums up your whole post which has more holes than Blackburn Lancashire.
PS Care to explain your homage to Denzil?

Would you care to explain what mental health, prison and drugs have to do with this case?
Tenuous links and a general discussion how certain people can 'manipulate' any system.
This includes illegal immigration and I presume you are aware of the massive problems in recent years?
'Genuine' cases of political asylum are few and far between the overwhelming traffic of the world's spongers, freeloaders, criminals and many more that head for our shores. You will note that I have not specifically spouted about this particular case as I and most people do not 'know the facts' but any story is open for discussion and debate.
There are also parallels with the criminal fraternity who end up in prison - known as the 'University of Crime' An institution in which like minded scum can share knowledge, tips and all manner of ways around the 'system' in order to fool the suckers that are in charge. You know - the liberal PC driven suckers that release the 'goody goody' guys who then go on to re-offend and often murder another innocent victim.
Drugs? Prisons are awash with them and many 'mental' cases are entirely due to drug abuse. These types should be in different places of incarceration and treated accordingly - 'cold turkey' springs to mind but far too hard an option.
I trust this brief explanation offers an insight into what I came out with?

John did not smuggle himself into the country, he claimed no benefits, abided by the law, paid his rent and his taxes (and all his own legal bills) - and most importantly REMAINS to have a legitimate case for asylum.
The problems with the asylum system are legion - which is why legitimate cases like John's are treated in such an appalling fashion and 'lumped together' with other cases in the publics mind.

Indeed - but none of that has anything at all to do with this specific case.

You will (hopefully) realise that I was speaking on very general terms and feel that my opinions are shared by most of the populATION.
