A similar article appeared in the Guardian on November 24. All reference to the housing group 'Angel' was removed after a polite request for a comment was greeted with a letter from libel lawyers Carter Ruck.
“There is no way around the letter. I think about it all the time – it is the last thing I think about each evening and the first when I wake in the morning.”
The letter said that Akakpo Kangni-Soukpe and his family must be ready to leave the home they have known for three years at any time - taking just two bags, and without knowing where they are going except that it will be “somewhere within the Scotland region”.
“We do not want to go anywhere. We are enjoying Glasgow. Our neighbours have been so kind. Now we have to leave again – our home and the people we love and who love us.”
