In response, a Home Office spokesperson said: “A letter was sent to Mohamed’s mother in March advising her that her son’s passport had been revoked. We understand that despite this Mohamed was taken out of the UK in July and last Sunday was unable to re-enter as he did not hold a valid passport.

An extract from readers views:
/// A Belgium paper has a different twist on this, from their story the mother was also in Belgium, flew home without him when he was denied boarding, and now cannot (will not) return. Perhaps he travelled out on her passport? ///
/// here's part of the story ///
/// The six-year-old Mohamed Barrak Diallo Bangoura, born in 2012 in Leeds, last week spent six weeks vacationing in our country. But when he wanted to fly back from Zaventem with his mother last Sunday, the boy was told drily that he was not allowed to board the plane. In Brussels they had received that explicit order from the Home Office in London - say the British Immigration Office. ///

Whatever the rules, there should be the opportunity to look at specific cases in case the best option is to make an exception. Since the boy wasn't noted as not being allowed here, or whatever, since birth, and issued with a passport, it looks like this might be a case for consideration. Seems more a government screw up than anything.

Did anyone read the whole thing? YMB has been explaining to you.
//The letter to Ms Keita from the Home Office in March stated that the child’s claim to British citizenship was no longer valid because it had “come to light” that neither she nor her husband were settled in Britain at the time of the child’s birth.//
Do the math & stop the boo-hoos.
