'I’ve Been Told I’m Not A British Citizen & Need To Pay To Stay In The UK’ | This Morning

The home office need to concentrate on new arrivals and not people who have been here for 50 years

I’m so glad they’ve given this gentleman a platform to speak ❤️

I am disgusted! Britain is so broken! This man came here in his youth. Worked, paid taxes, national insurance, and that's how he's treated. Nelson, you have every right to remain here. Let me donate to your Go Fund me page.

I have tears in my eyes just listening to Mr Nelson ❤ We love you from Ghana and proud of you!

Jury service and not a citizen? How is that even possible?

Sorry but i really don't understand how we have people coming in to uk and getting help from the government. And this man has lived here for 50year and ended up having his own business and now they are telling him he's got to go . The world is just messed up. Hope everything works out for him

The issue before him is a complicated one. His visa ran out after his failed education and he did not in any way change his status. Though he was able to work and establish a business, he still did not regularise his stay. His being illegal in the UK became a problem when he wanted to travel out of the UK with a plan to return. This is impossible without a valid passport, UK reentry visa or an international travel document from the home office that grants you the ability to do that. The rules are very strict on issues like this. He should be regularise on humanitarian grounds. Period.

The love and support the son gives his father speaks volumes ! I feel it’s special

As African in USA, if i reach a point in life that i don’t have documents and I’m told to go back home, i swear i will move smoothly as long as my kids are grown. Like seriously Africa is growing up, life is cheaper why will i not retire there?

The UK needs good people like him as it is rapidly going down hill.

God bless you Nelson ❤

He absolutely deserves to stay here

this is disgusting, how on earth can we be here? the system is so very broke. protect this man at all costs

How did he get a NI number?? The Home Office seem to have always been as incompetent as they are now.

You have to apply before you become a British citizen. As simple as ABC❤❤

I don’t understand why he’s been in the uk for so long and hasn’t apply for British passport or citizenship

Does the UK immigration realise that people from British Colonies migrated to the Great Britain with British passports. This is happening to a lot of persons who migrated to Britain, with British passports, even those from the Caribbean and many other countries who are even war veterans . Shame on the UK for not passing some sort of bill to assist these persons. These people helped build the economy of your country for decades and decades and decades their children, grandchildren and great grand are doing the same.

we love you uncle nelson❤the whole of seacombe will do everything we can to help you stay!!! you deserve to STAY!!!

What a wonderful man. His gentle and kind spirit shines through this interview. Wishing you all the best Nelson. Hope this is resolved quickly for you.

Why didn't he sort out his citizenship since the 1990s? First thing first.
