Once again, the Lancashire town of Rochdale features in a British Movement Northern region report on the toxic input of multiculturalism into British society. This time the story also incorporates the two-tier justice system working to undermine the British way of life while supporting the interests of the non-white, immigrant population.
The mainstream media has carried several bizarre stories giving details of how illegal immigrants and convicted criminal foreign nationals have sought to evade deportation or to scam the UK legal system to gain British citizenship, often with the assistance of taxpayer-funded human rights lawyers and sympathetic left-wing judges.
This story of a Pakistani illegal immigrant playing the system to gain residency in Rochdale has all the elements of situations referenced above. In addition, it also shows how networks have developed out of the so-called ‘ethnic minority communities’ in order to outwit the UK immigration system and to gain access to live in Britain without following UK laws. It also demonstrates how flexible the term “asylum-seeker” has become and reflects the influences of left-wing politics on the mainstream media.
The story first caught the attention of BM Northern region with an article in the inside pages of the ‘Sunday Telegraph’ on October 12th 2025. The strap line “Migrant jailed over marriage scam applies for family visa.” This was followed by, “Criminal asylum seeker who impregnated and married schoolgirl is again attempting move to UK”. The reality of the story is even more shocking as the details are made clear, and it all returns to the unfortunate town of Rochdale.
Nasir Khalil is a Pakistani national who came to Britain in 2012 in order to “visit” relatives in Rochdale, he was in his early 30s and had a wife in Pakistan. Khalil was refused ‘entry clearance’ by the immigration authorities but was allowed to stay for a short period. However, Nasir Khalil quickly settled into life in Rochdale, and like many others, he “overstayed” his visit permit and sought a means to circumvent the immigration rules and to remain living in the UK.
In a complicated scam, Nasir Khalil made contact with a ‘mail order bride’ gang that specialised in importing vulnerable young women from Eastern European countries into the European Union to ‘marry’ Asian men in the UK, and then to claim their new husbands had a right to remain in Britain as being married to an EU citizen. Note: This was before Brexit, when the UK was part of the European Union.
Nasir Khalil declared that he had “divorced” his wife in Pakistan, and in 2013, a 15-year-old schoolgirl from Slovakia arrived in Rochdale under an arrangement with the ‘mail order bride’ gang. At the time of her arrival, the Slovakian girl was not a Muslim and was legally too young to be married under British law. Nasir Khalil married the Slovakian girl in a Muslim ‘Nikab’ wedding ceremony just 4 days after her 16th birthday. Conveniently, the girl was declared to have ‘converted’ to Islam shortly before getting married.
According to later court records, the Muslim marriage took place in Rochdale, but there was no evidence that the girl had genuinely converted to Islam, and the marriage was conducted in a language she did not understand. Nasir Khalil was 20 years older than the schoolgirl he had just married. Based on his ‘marriage to an EU citizen”, Khalil applied for the right to live permanently in the UK, this was rejected but he applied again anyway.
A year later, Nasir Khalil was arrested for being involved in a fraudulent marriage, and the court was told that the Slovakian girl had been deceived into coming to the UK to take part in a marriage scam. By now the girl had a child by Nasir Khalil, and so he applied again for citizenship. But he was convicted by the court and sentenced to 15 months in prison before being deported back to Pakistan in 2019.
The deportation took place even though Khalil had sought to avoid it by claiming that he was now afraid to return to live in Pakistan because “he was in fear of the Taliban in Pakistan”! However, Nasir Khalil has refused to accept this situation and has continued to fight a legal campaign to return to live in Rochdale, this is despite repeated rejections of his appeals by UK immigration tribunals. In 2020 he married the same Slovakian girl again when she turned 23 and had been granted leave to remain in the UK with her UK-born children.
Now in 2025 Nasir Khalil is 48 years old, his Slovakian ‘wife’ is only 28 years old, still resident in Rochdale, but is now prepared to act as his sponsor in his latest legal application for a residence visa in the UK. Apparently a judge has accepted that Nasir Khalil wishes to return to live in Rochdale in a “durable, loving and stable relationship” with the woman he first married in a sham marriage.
This is the same wife who the courts declared to be the ‘child victim” of the mail order bride scam back in 2016, but married him again, legally in 2020. It is worth noting that this long-running legal battle by Nasir Khalil has largely been funded by the British taxpayer under the legal aid rules.
