Sir Mo Farrah.

[Bod ...]

Seems to be happening a fair bit with various singers & athletes "coming out" just as a new album/book/tour is imminent, even though most folk would have guessed already.

I had no idea ... just thought he was a good runner.... never knew why.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

By your argument Mo Farah is an illegal immigrant who only came here to live off benefits.

I understand they can legally allow for exceptions to the rules, I would expect he would be one of the exceptions if he applied.

I originally assumed he was mute, or didn't speak any English when he first began to appear on the TV.

Report on the news

Mo is very relieved that he is not going to deported

All some publicity stunt imo

The police are looking into /investigating the family that brought him into the country.
Only some kind f racist nutter would suggest that a 9 year old child subject to slavery is somehow at fault.

And its heart warming that 30 years later he has now found the strength to tell of his ordeal.

Plenty voted to 'take back our borders', and no mention of a person's age...

'Send 'em back' was/is the rallying cry...

And to hell with 'human rights' is the latest 'call to arms' for said nutters!

"a Home Office spokesperson said: “No action whatsoever will be taken against Sir Mo and to suggest otherwise is wrong" The Sun.

just goes to show, many of these immigrants are a great asset to our country.

I don't doubt some in the UK would prefer it only comprised of white people. I suspect a few on here hold that view. Actually, in a free and democratic society, it's their right to hold such views.

The thing is, purely from a practical perspective, that horse has long since bolted. Where would they suggest I go for example? Scottish white mum, Indian brown dad who I never knew, nor that side of the family.

Would the suggestion be I should 'go back to India' even though I've never been there and know diddly squat about the place, the culture etc?

I'd be more concerned about a Black person using young children for modern slavery than a young kid who had no choice.
