Brexit

[admin]

A woman living in the UK who has been married to a British man for 27 years has been forcibly removed from the country. Irene Clennell, who made headlines when she was placed in immigration detention, was deported to Singapore on Sunday. Clennell first arrived in London in 1988 and married John, a British man, two years later. They settled in County Durham and had two children together. She now has one grandchild. Her sister-in-law Angela confirmed Clennell had been deported. She said she had been subject to “insensitive and unfair government rules” and that Irene’s husband, her brother, was seriously ill.

I’m appalled by it especially doing it on a Sunday so you can’t contact anyone to try and stop it happening. “I made numerous phone calls to immigration solicitors and everywhere was closed. I feel sick about the whole situation.” She said her sister-in-law only had £12 in her pocket but, since the news broke, a fellow Singaporean has made contact with the family and offered her a place to stay for two weeks, something which Clennell, who is still on the flight, is not yet aware of. A Go Fund Me page to raise money for her legal fees passed £8,000 after the news broke that she had been deported
