Re: Britain outside the EU

Why would you not allow an appeal?

A third of appeals are successful based on our own rules, and that's with over half of all claims being successful at the initial claim.

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk...fings/sn01403/

Quote:
Decisions and refusals
The percentage of asylum applicants refused at initial decision reached its highest point at 88% in 2004. After that, the percentage of applicants refused at initial decision fell to 59% in 2014, then rose again before dropping to 48% in 2019.

In the period from 2004 to 2020, around three-quarters of applicants refused asylum at initial decision lodged an appeal and almost one third of those appeals were allowed.

They should not be allowed to leave said facility until their claim has been decided

Only when word gets out that the U.K. has a very strict admittance policy and only those with a valid claim of “asylum” can stay, or those that have followed a legal immigration route can stay. The chancers may take their chances elsewhere or end up back in Iraq or Syria or wherever.


So what you’re advocating is tweaking the existing policy? As in most cases I coming claimants are housed in reception centres and only moved out to other accommodation if a certain condition is met ( I can’t remember which one)

People (I don’t necessarily mean you) need to start dealing with facts & evidence rather than sensationalist media headlines

To speed up the process, and reduce any backlog. It doesn’t have to be in our gift to grant any appeal.

Why burden France with them, send them back to their country of origin.

No, he’s not, for the reasons specified. If you’re not able to have a reasonable debate then we will leave it there.

Isn’t this done already ? Would you agree that the antagonism towards the French serves little to no purpose?

No point debating it with you, as you seem to know it all.

It’s very common knowledge.

Had we remained in the EU we would have had a greater opportunity to return people to France.

We’re no longer in the EU

We left the EU because of Brexit.

As I said, Brexit plays a part in the issue but is not wholly responsible for the issue.

I’m worried about you, if you keep on overreacting you’ll have an aneurism. Please don’t

That's where the problem lies . . proving their country of origin (and I don't mean France).

Basically, if you can't prove where they're from, and they refuse to tell you, you're stuck with them.

I'd shove em all onto those small islands up north of Scotland until their memory improved . . but that's just me, I'd never make a politician, far too honest

And treat humanely and with compassion until such time as the process is completed and a final decision reached.

It seems to me (correct me if I’m wrong) that your issue is with the U.K. infrastructure side of things ?

Do we want to help fix the issue? Or do we just want to move the issue into someone other countries plate ?

Do you want to compare ourselves to Poland in how we treat people ? That’s your justification?

You know my views on the EU, they’re not without significant issue.

Don’t try and turn this into cheap point scoring, you’re better than that
