Hello, I want to ask a question that may be a little controversial. But do you think that the answer to asylum

SEND EM HOME, its really unfortunate that there own country is a shitty hell hole, but its never gonna get better if they all keep buggering off and leaving it, they need to stay at home and build up there own society rather than free loading off us and all we have built

Personally I think the UK should take the stand they are taking in Australia in regards to those that immigrate to their country. I would like to see more of Australia's words in our country too. Tony Blair tried to tighten things up after the London bombings but he was voted down. I think that was short sighted of many.

They will be your downfall just the same as it will be here in the USA until we get tough and kick their a s s e s out!!

Unfortunately while the government makes is so economically appealing for these people to come here then theres no way we can stop them.

strange how people flee their own country because of persecution, end up in france ( a country just as free as england ) and yet still seem so determined to come over here!

they wouldnt be so determined if we didnt make it so appealing for them.
Obviously we have an obligation to help any people in need, for no other reason than the fact that we are human beings! but we arent going to be able to offer free health care, free income and free accomodation to the people who most need it if all of our resources are eaten up by economic migrants. We need to be a lot tougher on immigration. I'll never vote labour again until we stop england being such a soft touch

Did you know that many many people from our former colonies like India fought for us in WW2? Did you know that the reason so many shops are run by Asians is that most white British people can't be arsed to work the long, hard hours it needs to make a successful business work? There is also a huge difference between asylum seekers and people who come here under legitimate work permits and add a huge amount to our economy and culture. I do however think that Britian suffers from a lot of inconsistency in our policies towards asylum seekers, and that there does need to be a clear message from the government about this issue.

I'm sorry you feel that way. You're right that Europe actually faces a much more challenging situation than the US ever has when it comes to immigration.
BUT. My family were asylum seekers in Holland, and we were grateful that the country accepted us despite the number crunch. We didn't end up staying there precisely because it was crowded. The straightjacket of PC cetainly is tighter, but judging all immigrants by the ones that annoy you is not fair either.
There will be asylum seekers as long as there is misery in the world, and compassion is what makes us human. Individual immigrants might "take you for a ride", the collective of them don't.
The key is that you CAN'T just stop accepting people. But you CAN make it harder to get in, and put stricter standards, like, say, Holland. Or what about temporary work permits without social services? That's how we managed for a long time.

Jock me old c#@k I'm with you all the way and I'm sure that millions of people feel the same way but they are too scared to say the same cos it,s not pc.If everyone of a like mind stood up to these lily livered liberal minded spineless tossers I'm sure we could make a difference and make this country what it used to be

ewe_luvs_it

lock them in a secure camp if they are genuinely persecuted back home they would be happy to stay in a safe environment

This New Labour government is pathetic. They have climbed up the backside of Europe and taken anyone in. How is it that France is not a place to live. Because the French have had enough and will not let them stay. The Geneva convention states you move to the next friendly and safe country to seek asylum. Say's a lot for the rest of Europe if we are the first. There are nearly 600,000 people in this country who should not be. This government instead of throwing them out is building houses for them Yes we are paying for it.

potatoeegg

i think we should privatise the nhs and stop all goverment hand outs exept for the needy theres to many blaggers comming into our country privatise nhs and watch the gets slow down about comming here

i believe that genuine asylum seekers only wish to get on with their lives and are generally hard working and appreciate everything they are given. the ones i don't like are the extremists who take advantage of freedom of speech and pay little respect to our way of life, and the help that we do extend to them. political correctness seems to protect anyone of an ethnic minority and does little to protect the rest of the population when the minorities attack us either individually or as a whole.

send the lot back home we need to look at mumber 1 enough poverty in this country already.....

Its more a question of "how many more can the country take" ? The whole thing has got out of hand.We've alway's welcomed those in genuine fear or persecution,but it seems the system is being openly abused! We are building houses galore,where is the infrastruture to support this? The water situation is dire,yet we will need more and more! I take your point about "corner shops"but its wrong to single out a particular race,SO many different races are now opening all kinds of "shops" its difficult to keep up! The British public have been very accomodating,in excepting others cultures,but the time has come to draw the line when it starts to affect and STOP our own! Political correctness HAS gone too far,and should it continue,I fear a backlash! I watched the speech by the Home Secretary, John Reid, today,it was no suprise to hear him say they have NO idea of the numbers of illegal immigrants in the country.When he said,by the time a case has been heard, as to whether someone can have asylum,THAT person has dissapeared without a trace! I was amazed! Is that the actions of a competant government? I think not! We are all aware of the "Rules" where asylum is is concerned,if in need of genuine asylum, you go to the first SAFE country,BUT thats not happening! They ALL want to come here! And they do! That tells me,they are NOT genuine. The Government has the powers to "send them back to the country they came to first",but they don't!! One has to wonder why?? You are absolutely right on your last point! Oh, I could go on all night!!

â™¥ elle-marie.

I tend to agree with you...I agree that its good to help others in need...but Englands over populated as it is! Theres so many asylum seekers, and i thought that you were meant to seek asylum in the first war-free country you came to? Well..for most of the asylum seekers we get, they have to travel across other war-free countries before they get to us!

I am in no way racist, but I do think that there has to be a limit! I sometimes get the feeling they come here just to live off our econmy...however, i do understand that many cases are real calls for help...its a tough one...

Pick me please! :p x

I'm from America.....Good luck though!

dcw13

Same problem we got in the USA.

Its is a complex and diffcult issue.

In US, we are all escapees, 1st from England, then from all over.

There got to be rules, because we cant take everyone in the world.

We can only take in what we can affort to do, but that doesnt stop the illegals keep trying.

I wish you guys luck, we are not doing so well in these matters also.

willow_the_witchuk

I have to say that we do have far to many and not enough restriction on them, and the fact that they are given far to much when there are many who are born and bred in this country who are given jack sh*t.
But the biggest worry are the Kosovans who take a liking for very young girls. A friend of mine who has 2 daughters went in town with her youngest whe is 10 and was followed aroung by a group of Kosovans asking her for her daughter. How intimidating it that??
It makes me glad that I only have boys.

chefgoudah

now you know what its like for us in the U.S.OF.A. LOL LOL

**** 'Em.....Ain't Ur Fault They Have A Messed Up Country....Why Should You Have To Help And Provide For Them.....They Won't Do Anything For You.....

dirtysteve_99

Typical brits, you conquer a third of the world, call them your imperial citizens, then get upset when they follow you home.
reap what you sow buddy

enigma_variation

these people need our support and yes, we should let refugees into the country and look after them as best we can. we are a wealthy country that can easily afford to and we have pleanty of room.

I find your stereotypes very offensive, particulary your references to corner shops, Many Pakistani people support out NHS by working in the medical trade. To be quite honest i find white chav teenagers more annoying with their hoodies and happyslapping

keithmanley2000

all the while the uk has pc and blair your grandad and us will be second best

butrcupps

Ditto for the US

aajstephen

I think that we have an obligation to allow genuine people fleeing for their lives. I dont think we have a financial obligation but the system says they cant work by law. Let them work and I dont think there would be a problem or for a period of 6 months then they would be on their own. And they would have to work for a number of years before they could claim benefits such as sickness.

sparky

something will have to change soon, because this cannot happen indefinately.
