No, I'm saying that I don't know.
you are joking arent you ? He is always right and has to have the last say.
You will get used to it
:eek2:
because its like saying all football supporters are hooligans
yeah right - or rather: complete bollocks
and anyway, they come with nothing, your parents already have a house
I don't know why this made me laugh, but in my hospital anyone who wears a bow tie just gets smirked at
How do you know the people "hanging out on street corners", the person who is claiming asylum has not had similar experiences. if you think they haven't then why not spend a day in one of the health centres that caters for refugees, asylum seekers

No, the gullible ones are those who think we can "install" democracy by the gun when democracy itself to be valid and lasting must arise from the desire and self determination of a nation itself according to their perceptions of society, not that of foreign invaders. Iraq has a long history of repudiating foreign control and this time around wont be any different in the long run.
Is the government not at fault here, if people are de-frauding the system then surely the government has a part to play in this?
Illegal immigrants should get nothing, and if they get anything then it is at least partly the system at fault.
How easy it is to blame the 'different' people standing on the corner rather than actualy do anything about it.
For all of those who are unhappy with the asylum system, have you written to your MP? I thought not.
what hgappens when they vote for militant islam if thats what they want? or communist? or the batth party? we'll have to kill a whole bunch of them all over again.
what about democraticaly elected governments around the world that the yanks have overthrown becuase they didn't agree with the peoples choice and then installed their very own dictator?
well ...please answer me giant toe.
Well unless you woulkd rether pay more for certian things then, yes.
Immigrants beneift us all
BE GRATEFUL..........
Then why do you think companies employ illegal immigrnats, risking being shut down if found out?
There must be some reason don't you think?
My boyfriend is Kurdish. He has been here for over 3 years now, and has been granted exceptional leave to remain. A lot of his friends have not, and they are classed as "asylum seekers". Every single one of them works. This is not illegal, after 6 months, asylum seekers are allowed to work. Every one of them apart from one who speaks very good English, works in factories.
My b/f works 7 days a week, shift work, for a tiny bit more than minimum wage.
Asylum seekers do not get handed 4 bedroomed houses. I know quite a few who live in hostel accomodation, along with British people classed as homeless. Others live in shared houses similar to student accommodation.
There are people who come here who are not in fear of their lives, absolutely. Most of them come from crap countries like Albania where there are no opportunities and they just want to make money. I don't have a big problem with them coming here and working for shit money, most of them will have their cases rejected and be deported anyway.
The media like to focus on any wrong doing done by non British people, and this makes life really hard for asylum seekers. Do you think life is easy for them? There is so much prejudice facing them, every day, I have seen it first hand. Do you think it is an easy option to leave your family and home, smuggle into a country, where you don't speak the language and are treated with suspision all the time?
The British government could go a long way to help the situation by investing in the countries where asylum seekers come from.
Because they are not the reasons we invaded Iraq. :rolleyes:
I don't think so, UK taxpayers' money spent should be in the UK, many parts up North going to the dogs.
Care to back up that assertion, a bit difficult admittedly as Councils are very closet about their dealings with asylum seekers.
It's going to be hard for UK to avoid immigration with lowish birth-rates but closing the asylum bolt-hole makes much sense
As for those Iranians, why should UK pick up tab for middle-eastern cruelty? Greece, e. Europe...nah, ingland, ees good, money for nothing
actually they are nowhere near UK, and the only person in the UK picking up the tab is me using my broadband connection (trying to sort out eye surgury so he can have his retina re-attached and have lense-surgury so he can see again(Which I and my family will probably pay for)) and paying for my flights out there to visit him.
and thank you PussyKatty for your post - it echo the experiences of many
solo, can you back up that houses are given out as you first asserted?
Yeh well if it cuts down the numbers of Albanian prostitute and drug dealers coming to the UK (which it wont), then I'm all for it.
I don't know for sure but I bet many people who flee their country of birth are forced into prostitution!
Beyond that which I read in the tabloids, no
My local council has produced a report on asylum to which the public will not be privy, shows how sensitive they are. There are >6000 asylum in the borough, that must be a pressure on housing
I heard on R4 of friction between asylum Iraqis + established muslims in derby, as has happened in Southampton. There's no end of problems around asylum seekers
Exactly. Tabloids lie all the time around asylum issues.
No they don't, you might come up with an exaggerated story from a tabloid but the tabloids only push this issue as it accords with the reality of the public who are feeling swamped by asylum seekers in many areas of life, schools, hospitals, housing, GP's. I myself have seen offices full with them.
Tabloids didn't lie about the 'HIV assassin', or the AIDS rape of a counsellor but they did highlight their asylum status, yes.
We're not being swamped (in fact we're eighth in the asylum seekers European league), the country is not on the verge of collapsing :rolleyes: , and the NHS is in no danger whatsoever of being overwhelmed by a few extra patients who don't happen to be white and British.
Rags like the Scum and the HateMail tell 2 truths every morning: the price and the date. Everything else they print is fucking bollocks.
Yes they do. Did you read that link I posted a couple of pages back? I'll remind you...

The PCC is currently investigating a complaint by a Somalian over a front-page story which appeared in the Daily Star in August headlined "Asylum seekers eat our donkeys".
A police source was quoted by the Star, alleging that immigrants were responsible for the theft of nine donkeys from Greenwich royal park - and may have killed and eaten the animals.
The article claimed donkey meat is a delicacy in Somalia. However the meat is in fact forbidden by the country's Islamic law.
See? Tabloids lie ALL THE TIME about this stuff and bury apologies in the back pages. They have a racist agenda to push. And people like you willingly swallow these lies. Maybe you should develop some critical faculties, then you wouldn't be so gullible.
