Truth be told so would a few more on here, but Syb's ego couldn't take it.![]()
No, the UK is a rich country and should be open to all asylum seekers
Yes, asylum seekers should not be allowed, the UK is crowded enough
Yes, asylum seekers should seek refuge in the first available country.

What on earth are you blathering about now, numpty?
And where did I claim Blair never lied, bonehead?
I was posting on the thread topic, you silly tit.
And you are very obviously right wing, so it’s a bit late to try to play the neutrality card.
If you fantasise about sex with Priti Vacant then all I can say is you’re welcome.
Not right wing, just loathe hypocritical socialists; I am a libertarian humanist to be precise.
Well the fact you highlighted the person of topic as being, 'yet another Tory liar. Would suggest to me that you think only Tory's lie.
She's definitely got something about her.
^ Too right.
I've always thought she has a really 'pretty' face, but she's a bit broad about the beam for my taste.
That's why when you are young, you have to make the most of being first in the queue Mendip.
^ Timely advice mate. I need to act fast.
The same went for school diners, at the front and then back for seconds but that last bit doesn't necessarily apply to that matter at hand.
Anyway, where were we, oh yes, Sybs erotic fantasies about strong Tory women.
Is there a concept more right wing than Libertarianism ?
I don't think so
But you are a "humanist" also
Which has the upper hand ?
BTW:
I like thatquite beneath me to pick 1 of 2 sides, then blindly and fiercely defend them.
Be warned: If you fail, I might remind you![]()
You should be more concerned about those who voted against because, "the UK is crowded enough". After all, Rwanda has almost twice the population density so it's nothing more than nimby hypocrisy.
There is also a flaw to the argument about asylum seekers seeking refuge in the first same country. In fact, in many cases they do but eventually the neighbouring country can no longer support the influx. This forces them to move to the next country and then the next and so forth. There are other reasons, including relatives and language skills that attract people more towards one country than another.
Imagine a war broke out in the UK forcing people to flee as refugees; would those fleeing try to seek refuge in France or Belgium, or would they be more likely to flee to the US, Canada and Australia?
The UK are not taking there fair share of the burden caused by recent wars and are hiding behind silly arguments that don't stand up to even the most basic of questioning. People have a go at Le Pen and her nationalism but don't seem to recognise the same within the UK government.

First-time asylum applicants up by a quarter in 2021 - Products Eurostat News - Eurostat
The UK offered protection, in the form of asylum, humanitarian protection, alternative forms of leave and resettlement, to 14,734 people (including dependants) in 2021. Of these:
- 81% were granted refugee status following an asylum application (‘asylum’)
- 6% were granted humanitarian protection
- 2% were granted alternative forms of leave (such as discretionary leave, UASC leave)
- 11% were granted refugee status through resettlement schemes
In 2021, 535 000 first-time asylum applicants (non-EU citizens) applied for international protection in the EU Member States, up by 28% compared with 2020 (417 100). The numbers are around the level recorded in 2014 (530 600), before the peaks of 2015 and 2016 due to war in Syria.
27 Countries in the EU and lets throw in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand you should also be doing their bit.
I think 14 734 people sounds not too far off a fair share Troy. I think those 14 734 peoples are not including those who arrive illegally but I could be wrong.
As for the governments reasons for not taking more, you can hardly tell this forum with a straight face that the UK doesn't have serious financial problems when it comes to basic social services and the NHS. The money just isn't there for an influx for 50k people per year along with all the new born. There is also something to be said for retaining a social equilibrium within a society. Whether that be economic, ethnic or religious. I believe we take as many as we feel we have jobs for but I could be wrong on this assessment.
I think it is a case of the EU doing too much and other countries in the G20 doing too little. This includes countries in The Middle East, who, for centuries were the main destinations for migrant movement within The Middle East due to religious and ethnic similarities.
I do agree that some sort of application centre should be set up in Europe to process applicants. The US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand should also have departments there and there should be centres scattered throughout Europe with proper housing facilities, medical care and childcare.

The first flight failed on Tuesday due to intervention from ECHR. That will have upset Liz Truss and Priti Patel. It was also said to be 1/2 million quid down the drain.
Would be much cheaper and wiser to set up an office or two on the other side of the channel to process the migrants. UK don't want that as they would be obliged to let many into the country.
When's the next flight due?
^ The ECHR is within the Council of Europe, which the UK joined in 1950. It is not part of the EU.
Next you'll be wanting the UK to leave the UN, another organisation that opposes this dreadful decision by the UK.
There is a simple alternative but Boris has promised a cut in immigration and intends to deliver at whatever cost.
Anyone applying through normal channels is blocked so no wonder the boat crossings are on the rise.
The legality of the Rwanda policy is to be heard in the UK courts in July. I see no reason to allow flights to take place before this ruling has taken place.
The whole policy is flawed and will not help in reducing the number of illegal channel crossings. That will best be achieved by allowing processing of migrants in France and Belgium. This solution is still being ignored by the government because they do not want to take the responsibility for refugees, a most despicable state of affairs of which the UK should be ashamed. Piri Patel and Liz Truss should be sacked, along with Boris, for their inhumane ideas of treating refugees.

^ Or so they say...However, I fail to see how the Iranian former police commander comes into this category.
Rwanda asylum: Iranian policeman who defied orders says he fears for his life - BBC NewsAn Iranian ex-police commander due to be deported from the UK to Rwanda under a controversial scheme says he fears being killed by Iranian agents there.
The man previously gave testimony to a UK-based rights groups' tribunal investigating alleged Iranian atrocities during protests in 2019. He has been held at a detention centre near Gatwick Airport after arriving in the UK from Turkey in May.
The first asylum seekers are set to be deported under the scheme on Tuesday. Their applications will be processed in Rwanda, where they will be given accommodation and help. If successful, they will be able to remain in Rwanda with up to five years' access to education and support.
However the plan has been criticised by politicians and charities, who have raised concerns about the African nation's human rights record.
The former commander, who is not being named in order to protect his identity, was sentenced by an Iranian military court to almost five years in jail in Iran and a demotion for refusing to shoot protesters during anti-government demonstrations triggered by a sharp rise in petrol prices. The former commander was in charge of 60 police officers at the time.
As I said before, the legal routes are either incredibly slow or blocked altogether so one can understand using alternate means to get to the UK.
