‘Chicken Nuggets’ Case: Yet Another Migration Embarrassment for Starmer
19th March 2026
The surreal case of an Albanian criminal who tried to dodge removal from the UK in part by claiming his son disliked foreign chicken nuggets—yes, really—reached its inevitable conclusion this week, when he won the right to stay in Britain.
Klevis Disha entered the country illegally under a false name, lied in his asylum claim, and was later jailed for two years after being caught with £250,000, known to be proceeds of crime.
An immigration tribunal previously said it was “unduly harsh” for the lawbreaker’s son—named in legal documents only as ‘C’—to be forced to move to Albania because of sensory issues. The case was then overturned on appeal, which ruled: “We can only see in the decision a single example of why C could not go to Albania: C will not eat the type of chicken nuggets available abroad.”
