Lloyd Russell-Moyle voiced his anger after the Home Secretary said asylum seekers are "gaming the system" by "pretending" to be gay. The remark has led to widespread condemnation after the top Tory said being gay or a woman in countries where they face discrimination isn't enough to warrant being given asylum. Speaking on the BBC's Politics Live, Mr Russell-Moyle said: "We still have many countries in this world that put to death people because they are gay. Uganda, a Commonwealth country, has just gone further to criminalise and allowed the death sentence to be re-introduced for homosexuality. "So I think the idea that the Home Secretary is choosing this example, I think she's chosen it very deliberately, is clearly to try to divide and rule. It's particularly nasty and pernicious." He questioned why Ms Braverman was honing in on LGBT+ people when the number claiming asylum on the basis of sexuality is relatively small. Last year 739 people were granted asylum when sexual orientation formed the basis of their claim, Home Office figures show. Meanwhile 285 were rejected. In total 78,768 asylum applications, relating to 97,390 people, were lodged in that period. Mr Russell-Moyle said that far more people claim asylum on the basis of religious persecution, but said: "But she doesn't raise that issue, instead she chooses to raise a minority that she thinks she can kick on, because that's what she likes doing, she likes kicking minorities. She likes kicking refugees, she likes kicking gay people... she likes kicking people who are down and she thinks she can get away with it. I'm afraid she's a nasty piece of wor){kind=link}
