Let's see, travel 2000 miles (for example) to a country which has stated it doesn't want refugees or travel 3000 miles to somewhere that will welcome you. Doesn't make you any less desperate or in need in my book.

Considering some of our international aid budget goes to India, A powerhouse economy which has nuclear weapons. I'm saying the money can be better spent. I'm also saying we need to better prioritise our treatment of refugees.
Are you saying it's acceptable for the UK to go into countries such as Iraq,Libya or Syria to attempt and in certain instances succeed in destabilise those countries. And then all we do is give them some money??
