England is officially the planet's softest touch at letting asylum-seekers in23. A 2002 MORI survey discovered we let in more than twice the number of asylum-seekers than the USA, yet we have one-tenth the population.

Re: Come to Britain!
 Maybe we ought to make that site compulsory reading for asylum seekers - you never know it might just put them off

Re: Come to Britain!
If I could be bothered to waste the time, I'd go through and kick big holes in that site which has large amounts of out of date and incorrect information, but, frankly, I've got better things to do...

Re: Come to Britain!
Come on.. our country isn't so bad is it? I bet the residents of other countries could write similar articles picking out all the bad points about their nation too but most aren't willing to be quite so negative about where they live. Nobody seems to bash Britain better than one of its own citizens.
I think it would be interesting to read an illustrated well written article in relpy to this one that highlights all the good points about our country. We'd probably then be swayed in to thinking that Britain isn't such a bad place afterall.
I'm not capable of writing that well unfortunately. All I know is that I'm British and proud to be so. Of course there will always be things that could be much better about the place and bad things will always happen. However, I believe that would be true of just about anywhere in the world. We've always been looked after by our country pretty well on balance and have no desire to live anywhere else.
We just had a walk along the Basingstoke Canal in the sunshine and right now there's no place I'd rather be. Could rain tomorrow though...

Re: Come to Britain!
Yes but look at all the problems in the USA.
Everywhere had its problems so although there are many problems in the UK, there are many elsewhere too.

Re: Come to Britain!
Well, this is what happens when you let labour run your country, there one step away from socialist, Tony just knows how to put some nice spin on it.
Did you know, that yesterday or maybe late last week, Cherie Blair managed to win a 10,000 pound payout to one Abdul Ali who had been expelled from school for arson related offences. This was all based on humanitarian grounds because his 'basic right to education' had been denied. Giving evidence the boy said 'I felt distressed. I wanted to goto school." I mean, hell, if he wanted to goto school, what was he doing setting fires in one. The school has also been left with 50,000 quid worth of legal costs, most likely meaning that it will not be able to afford it necceasry resources to fuinction during the next school year properly.
This is all thanks to Blair heaping 'human rights' laws upon us. So next time you vote, just look what Blair's goverment forces on us. not to mention his wife picking up a cosy fee at everyone else's expense including our education system which is buckling under the stress of Blair anyway.
So yeah, come to Britian, on April the 1st he's already opened the floodgates to all the new EU states so that they can all rush in demand houses and then sue us because there not big enough and its an infrignment on our human rights. im sure Cherie will be there championing there cause as well.
Dont vote labour, oh, thats if were given the option and now an european superstate by the end of the year, and if you dont like anyone else, its probably better that you dont vote.

I take it you are using "run" in the losest possible meaning of the word.
As for cheri, she has no problem defending a paedophile's right to hang around childrens play areas and picking up a tidy sum for doing it

Re: Come to Britain!
The Human Rights Act is a fairly new piece of legislation. At the moment people are testing the boundaries. In a few years when its your arses on the line you may be glad of it!
