The Boys' Brigade describes itself as the oldest
uniformed youth organisation in the world. It has
more than half a million members and ranks the
Queen as its official patron… but its young members
from Africa are "being barred from entering the UK".
All 19 young leaders from African countries who
were due to attend an international leadership
workshop next week have been refused visas by the
UK Border Agency, according to the organisation.
The vice president of the Boys' Brigade UK, Matt
Smith, says the organisation has never had problems
with people not going back to their countries of
origin after visiting the UK. He tells Newshour about
his "shock" and "deep embarrassment" at being
unable to host young people who had been selected
for outstanding contributions to their communities.
The Home Office issued the following statement:
"Groups wishing to visit the UK need to be able to
provide key information to demonstrate that they
here for valid reasons, such as evidence to show
they can financially support themselves, they are
entitled to travel, and any minors are travelling with
parental consent. If they fail to show this, then they
will not be granted a visit."

Our leaders just sit down and watch this aberration take place. What do they care when they have the connection to make their families travel to any country they so desire. The problem with these foreign countries is that instead of enacting laws to make sure these criminals we call government and their families are denied visas for study or vacation, they instead focus their attention on citizens who are only victims of the underdevelopment caused by Government.

the object of the boys brigade, is the advancement of christ kingdom among boys, and the promotion of habit of obedience reverance discipline self respect and all thet tends toward a true christain manliness

Shame on the UK. UK citizens should be given the same treatment when they come to our African countries. Shikena.
