Can't believe I got a red rep for this.
Especially as the person involved did not have the courage of their convictions to argue any view for against or otherwise on this post in public.
Apparently the objection is that asylum seekers would rather come here than get assaulted (my polite wording).
That is true.
However, the vast majority of asylum seekers that choose this country appear to do so for economic reasons. If they are in real danger, then yes we should, and clearly do offer sanctury. But we are seen as a soft touch, why else do such disproportionately high numbers seek our shores. If someone is in that much fear, surely they should seek help at the first available country?
The original link that this thread is about, albeit in a biased way, shows Britain in a less than glowing light which might remove the rose tinted spectacles worn by the economic rather than genuine asylum seeker.
Maybe I could have worded my post slightly better, but in the humourous way I intended the post, in response to the post above it, I consider it fair.
Rant over. The red repper does not need to out themselves.
