The Home Office official said that because Alina is over 18 she is not being granted permission to come to the UK as a dependant of her parents.

They’re not counting her as a dependent child because she’s an adult, but it seems to ignore the fact that her parents care for her in some way

sorta but not.

The application was based on compassionate reasons. That potential exclusion is written into the law specifically to allow exceptions like this.

The HMRC specifically responded that no evidence of a compelling compassionate reason was provided.

So it is fair to assume someone in HMRC saw an application for an autistic 19yo dependent where the parents had stated she was not in a mental state to self-care. And decided that was not a valid reason to make the compassionate exception.

Broken immigration system. Please bear with us while we turn it off and on again to see if that fixes it.

Good job. Doing the country a great service.

Edit: Should’ve added the /s Forgot that there are idiots out there who genuinely think it was a good decision to keep his daughter out.

I’m not certain what you mean here. Can you explain who’s doing a good job and what job they’re doing?

What I don’t get is why we’re sending all of the good people back but letting the people who don’t want to play by the rules in on small boats

Nonone is letting. If uou have better idea to stop the boats Feel free to start a party and try and fund it.

Failing is not the same as letting and to suggest any curremt party has a policy of no action on small boats is dumb.

UK Politics

!uk_politics@feddit.uk

Create post

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
