Its perfectly practical, europe has the internet you know.

But the argument is that if you're already in the EU, it's safe and we shouldn't let them come to the UK. So the application could be denied. Countries where they are not safe likely don't have a safe internet connection for them to make the application.
So by design it's either you can't apply online, or if you can then we'll probably say no anyway.

Who is coming to the UK without passing through a safe country ?
Certainly none of those crossing the channel, since they start in France.
Seems we should try harder.

Yes, we should try harder to make it so that they don't need to travel through the EU in order to apply for UK asylum or refugee status. Glad you agree on that.
