/// I've quickly scanned both articles, and can't find any reference to AOG's statement that they were due to be deported last mon... ///

If you look at my thread I have copied a section of the Guardian report of Thursday 24 April 2014 in which it said "A mother faces deportation on Friday" that being 25th April 2014. (first paragraph of the Guardian link)

As suspected she has managed to get a reprieve once again.

/// "She has been given an overnight reprieve but the campaign is still very much ongoing and the lawyers are still working on her judicial review. ///

aog if the kid was born in london it makes him/her english so he/her has rights and i would think that any court would want the child to have its natural mum take care of the child

The mother is Nigerian and should be sent back there, how she ever managed to get here four years ago while being heavily pregnant (as reported), is anyone's guess.

Her children are four and two so how can they make up their own minds if the want to live in the UK or Nigeria, have the courts enough power to force them to live in the UK?

How about sending Mrs Farage and her kids back to Germany ?

[mccfluff]

you want these children to go through FGM?

[DrFilth]

the mother would have to think what is best for the two year old which is english

so what would you do go back and face a good beating from the muslims and live on next to nothing or stay in england and get a free life on benefits ?
