But Mo is a great ambassador for Great Britain, even if he did buy a passport(which I don't believe is the case), he has repaid that 10 fold with his sporting achievements and philanthropy.

And the question should be asked.........what has iggle ever done for us.....or anyone?

Suppose, like all failed charities, at least he tried something.

He was using it as a tax break obviously. Mo Fo is the biggest fraud in Somalian Sporting history.

One needs to be a bit careful with charities. They are not at all easy to administer & it is a complex balance. On the one hand fund raising is needed and for that funds have to be spent on all manner of things. On the other hand monies need to get to the cause intended.

Don't know anything about it any detail. I reckon sports people should probably not do anything like this until they've retired and can actually dedicate time to it properly and not just do it for PR (I'm sure the majority don't).

She gets my vote, for her name alone. And I want to know which charity shop she takes her old clothes to, my living room, dining room and hall all need new curtains, and I reckon one of her dresses would just about do it.

You must have a lot of windows. French doors? Big sliding wall of glass? In fact, are those rooms just glass boxes?

Mo Farah's brother faces being kicked out of Britain and deported to war-torn Somalia | Daily Mail Online

Wait, let me understand this. A British citzen is going to be kicked out of the UK? That's impossible...right? No its not because Mo dad isn't British and therefore Ahmed has no right to a passport.

More evidence that Mo's passport was bought.

So that's both of his brothers that came to the UK with convictions for theft and violent knife crimes.

Somalians - if they can't run they steal

However I have worked out why Mo is such an easy target for you Iggle..

You can spell his name

It's all a bit silly but hey . It tickles me

A family here in NZ all have NZ citizenship and passports bar one. Their eldest offspring . That person has been a naughty so-and-so - simply because of whatever reasons there are - therefore is unable to gain NZ citizenship and so the NZ passport.

That does not make or mean that his family were not entitled to their NZ citizenship/passports , provided they fulfilled the requirements as per the law, or that they bought their passports through exceptional skills wanted in NZ.

My own brother was a right one. My Mother was not UK born. That did not mean that my lovely Mum or myself for that matter were not entitled to our own passports in our own right provided we fulfilled the requirements. Which we did

Spoiler:
as did Mo Farrah


Please check your logic calculator. It appears to be faulty.

No the logic is, that his dad wasn't born in UK, nor has a British passports, thats why the others couldn't get passports when they were younger.

Come on BEVS, the passport was BOUGHT.


How is this man British, please someone, i beg you to tell me how.
