“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?” “Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?” Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered. #RefugeesWelcome
The 3 things you need to know: 1. Most refugees never come to rich countries like the UK, more go to other countries. 2. Those coming to the UK have ties to this country. 3. Geography is no excuse to shirk responsibility & leads to a race to the bottom with disastrous results.
@ZoeJardiniere All you have said is asylum seekers can do whatever they like, regardless of international agreements. Maybe countries that wish to protect themselves should adopt the same stance.
@ZoeJardiniere At the end of the day the reasons for them coming here are largely irrelevant. They are here and they have to be accomodated and processed. The government is completely failing in it's responsibility to handle this task.
You genuinely believe what you’ve said it correct ? Unbelievable 🤦♂️ A refugee should seek asylum in the first country they can find. That’s it. That fact you spouted “colonialism” exposes your real agenda. At least have the courage to state it. People like you are the problem.
@ZoeJardiniere A large number of migrants are coming from Albania. What has Albania got to do with our "Colonial past"? At the last census we had an Albanian population of 30,000 in the UK? Coming to be with relatives. Served with our military? Our military is in Albania?!
