#Afghan interpreter's anger over son's visa denial
"He doesn't know who we are - he thinks my dad is his father and my mum is his mother."
Such callous and heartless cruelty and a total betrayal of our assurances and moral responsibility to #Afghans who risked, and continue to risk so much when they helped #LittleBritain. #UK #HomeOffice & #Braverman an utter disgrace.
