Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 day agoIs it about immigrants in general though or the people trying to game the system by pretending to be refugees, entering via the english channel.
Churchill’s “V for Victory” was flipping the germans off.
I’ve been to England a few times and saw people and buildings flying St George’s cross before this crisis, also had seen it used online in emoji form in bios, etc.

Very few people are gaming the system, but the ones that are won’t be caught because asylum seekers aren’t having their claims processed.
If this was your genuinely held concern you should be pushing for the government to allocate the resources to properly vet asylum claims and get all of these people processed appropriately.
I suspect you wouldn’t like that solution though because in the end it will likely remove less than a percent or two of asylum seekers

Gov.UK says it is 50%, or 55,700 people.
55,700 people with no regard for the law or nation entering during 2025 alone is deeply troubling.

Neither of the things you just said prevent someone from seeing asylum. It’s the UK government that has no regard for the law, they have a duty to process these claims as signatories of the UN convention on the rights of refugees.
Hey, you’re that same bozo who was trying to tell me he didn’t know 14 88 was a dog whistle earlier, I wonder if your opinions on this are fact based and well researched…
The UK government can not like these people as much as it wants, it doesn’t make their asylum claims illegal

I think you’ve banged the nail on the head - that’s why people are annoyed. It SHOULD prevent them from gaining asylum. The law is outdated and it’s funding a people smuggling industry. Every claim where the seeker came through from a safe country such as France should be rejected immediately. They’re not refugees. The asylum law is for refugees. Australia was able to solve it and we almost had it with the (albeit overpriced) Rwanda policy.
Before I get assumed to be a racist, I actually think the UK law to immigrate legally is too strict. The thresholds are too high and requiring one for a british citizen with non british close family members is borderline racism.
