Interesting story...

He got off to a false start.

Another one?

I doubt the Home Office will catch him.

Seems like his next holiday could be an all expenses paid trip to Rwanda.

Could be in for the high jump.

Sooo, do the Somalilanders want credit for those medals then.

It’s peak Tory Britain that a guy can grow up here, win Olympic medals and be knighted for it and still be worried about losing his citizenship because he was trafficked here as a child against his will.

Or it could just be in your head.

Wonder how Priti Patel, Tory right and Berxiters will react to this. Don't think they are going to take this news very well. The ERG will be livid.

Good.

Clever chap, it's only a small hop to Somalia then!

I find more duplicity from Farah totally unsurprising, his career is all but over and he's on a search for publicity. The fact I am politically right wing has nothing to do with whether I see him as dodgy as hell or not.

One might think after the Salazar scandal the man would keep his mouth shut, but no, like the needless fabrications he is now shown to have made on "I'm a Celebrity", he is shameless in seeking the financially lucrative limelight. Another plastic celebratory. Another illegal immigrant feted (and decorated) by the liberals.
