BBC misled ‘Today’ listeners over Bosnian asylum-seeker - Kilroy-Silk
Robert Kilroy-Silk has lodged a formal complaint with the BBC over its editing out of references made on a Derby street by a Bosnian asylum-seeker to his home country of Bosnia.
The young man had approached Mr Kilroy-Silk in St. Peter’s Street, Derby, asking for his autograph, in front of a team from the BBC’s ‘Today’ programme. The BBC, however, played only a selected part of the exchange between Mr Kilroy-Silk and the young Bosnian.
Listeners heard Mr Kilroy-Silk challenge the asylum-seeker as to why he did not return to Sarajevo, which Mr Kilroy-Silk described as ‘a pretty city’, where there was no oppression or danger. The asylum-seeker told Mr Kilroy-Silk that he was ‘returning to Sarajevo’ in July - but the BBC edited out that part of the exchange where the asylum-seeker admitted that this was ‘just for a holiday’ and that he was claiming welfare benefits.
Mr Kilroy-Silk said this morning: “The BBC presented a false picture of this asylum-seeker. He should not be here. He admitted to living off Britain’s welfare benefits and told me in front of the BBC journalist that he was only going to Sarajevo in July for a holiday, then coming back to Britain, where he would continue to live off benefits. The young Bosnian is an asylum-seeker who has no right to be here and should be deported. The BBC - as they often do on this subject - gave listeners a false impression of the true facts by editing out the references to his claiming benefits and the fact hat he was not returning to live in Sarajevo permanently. I have lodged a formal complaint with the BBC today”.
· VERITAS would appoint a joint Police and Immigration Service special task force to find and deport all failed asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants, except for those with children, who would be allowed to remain here on compassionate grounds
