Errrrr...we rank 8th in 2002 according to that link.
Shooting yourself in the foot more like. :rolleyes:
Not very intelligent you fascists are you?
So, Blagsta, what did you not understand in that statement?
Oh, you're focussing on the spin put on the truth by the UNHCR where R is for Refugee, they sadly can't just collect and present stats as they are partial
Does the average asylum-seeker think about the population-size/land-mass.... of his chosen destination? No of course not, it's where the going's good, the UK.
Just to put it all in context. Can you two possibly stop bitching at each other and not get personal? You are really beginning to get on my nerves.
Yes, someone has physically brought themselves across the rest of democratic Europe , the channel/N. Sea to apply for asylum and given the shambles of UK's asylum system, stands a very good chance of remaining
Interesting definition, especially the part where you say "very good chance" because let's face it, that is an opinion.
An application means that someone is asking to be allowed to reside in the UK. It does not mean that they will be allowed to live here indefinately.
So, just because the UK recieved a high number of applications does not mean that the UK passed the highest level and I would be interested if you could prove that either way - although I suspect that you would only offer stats in your favour rather than admit that you predjuduce was based on racist tendances.
Inspite of all this talk about highest numbers though, what is wrong with applications - particularly from people seeking work in the UK who may take up jobs which no-one in the UK seems to want (i.e. nursing shortage...)
Hard for me to pronounce definitively as HMgov is playing games with asylum/ immigration hence the Moxon/Beverly Hughes debacle, would-be asylum/post May1st immigrants rushed in on a lax visa basis.
Ring a bell?
Why should I? I don't consider it a problem.
Yep, and what proportion of applications were "dodgy"? 1%, 25%, 100%?
Thanks to Jim for finding the above info. I posted it because there seems to be claims and counter-claims regarding how 'cushy' life is for asylum seekers in the UK, but no actual figures. So there they are.
Tell me, what's going to have a bigger impact on a nation's infrastructure and economy: 100,000 immigrants in a country of 60 million or 20,000 immigrants in a country of half a million?
Get your calculator out.
Don't be absurd, if that were so we could scrap much of the Civil Service as we wouldn't need to measure absolute numbers of pensioners, unemployed, disabled.
As I said earlier it is significant that democratic Europe is by-passed for UK in absolute asylum-number terms
No it isn't. IMHO.
Why do you think it is significant?
Jesus, not very bright are you?
What don't you understand about the rest of the statememt, eh?
Here it is in full, fact fans
(italics mine)
Typical of the BNP not to let facts get in the way of a good racist strop.
Poor effort ladyfuck. Not doing a good job of promoting the BNP here. You're making out yourselves to be quite quite stupid.
Your political masters will be in you.
BTW is it true that Nick Griffin is gay?
What on earth are you on about now?
No, we have more applications. And so what? Shouldn't you be proud of living in a country that other people want to come to?
