Well whatever happened to that Austrain welcome a few folks around here were extolling not so long ago?
Quote:
Austria has passed a controversial new law that restricts the right of asylum and allows most claimants to be rejected directly at the border.
Rights groups say the law undermines the principle of protection from war and persecution.
It comes days after Austria's far-right came top in the first round of a presidential election.
Austrian officials say they are also considering building a fence at the main border crossing with Italy.

Can you imagine what the UK would be accused of if we went down the same route?
