Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’
TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 14 hours agoNeither 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 The law is outdated and it’s funding a people smuggling industry.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.

British citizens don’t require anything to immigrate whether they have a spouse or child or where the spouse, child, lack of spouse or lack of child are from.

The spouse and children should be given a visa regardless

YI mean… Effectively they are. There is a process but unless you are a violent criminal or something your visa as a spouse isn’t going to be denied. The process is mainly to ferret out fraudulent ones, something you would seemingly be infavor of.
Children of British citizens are literally automatically citizens as well unless their parent was also born outside the UK. Even then in most cases they still will or can be, do you have any idea what you’re even talking about?

Oh my god… Wait… You’re PRO rawanda refugee policy? Oh please do tell me your thoughts on the benefits of that program

Because it would mean people trying to get to the UK illegally from a safe country would be sent to Rwanda instead. So unless they are trying to get to Rwanda intentionally, they’ll stop coming into the UK

I have to assume at this point you are deliberately misusing words? Because I believe both you and I know that it’s not illegal to cross into the UK from France to claim asylum. And I’m fairly certain we’ve established this.
Can we carry on in reality instead of in your Dreamworld?

Wether it shouldn’t or shouldn’t is immaterial to this conversation. To follow both UK and international law all these asylum claims need to be processed.
If showing up on a boat disqualified you, the Tories would be chomping at the bit to process them and turf them.
The things your saying all sound lovely and in a perfect world of it was like that we might agree that it was better.
There’s no point carrying on this conversation if you’re going to continue to claim that people arriving on small boats and other irregular means are illegal

It’s not ethically right. Sure they should be processed, but that processing shouldn’t take very long considering they just came from France.
TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 13 hours ago
I assume when you say “it’s not ethically right” that the unwritten text there was “but yes, it is legally right”. Could you just confirm?
TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 13 hours ago
So why did the Tories spend 15 years not processing them if it would have been quick and easy? Is it because coming from France doesn’t make their claims invalid? And that’s just something that you’d personally like to be true and has absolutely no bearing on this discussion whatsoever?
