I think it is a bit silly that these rules allow for something like Qatar to happen but fake asylum seekers can’t be returned.

When you find yourself calling to scrap the country’s anti-slavery laws, does that act as a bit of an [“are we the baddies”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWvpvlT9pJU) moment?
There are no bogus asylum seekers.
There are people who are found not to meet the criteria for gaining asylum in this country.
But all asylum seekers are genuine asylum seekers by definition.
“If they have really been taken against their will, then they could not reasonably object to being returned to their own homes.”
Hard not to agree with that to be honest.
We need to do something asap, our public services can’t handle this influx of people.
Given that they are refusing to process any of these people’s applicatoins, how do they know that *any of them* are “bogus”?
Hold on this makes no sense, some migrants say they are victims of human trafficking, as in have been taken away from somewhere against their will? I doubt any migrant is making that argument as it just invites the government saying: ‘ok, we have freed you now, lets take you back home’
REFUGEES ARE TOTALLY NOT A SMOKESCREEN FOR THE VOTE NEXT WEEK TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR NHS SERVICES.
Prior to the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement, an unknown number of people would enter the UK concealed in lorries, and would disappear into the black economy without necessarily alerting the authorities. Since then, security has been significantly toughened at ports, so small boats are now the preferred way to arrive, where they’re significantly more likely to become known to the authorities.
Shortly after, Covid happened, which significantly reduced flights, ferries and trains heading from the Continent to the UK, so small boats would have been about the only method to reach here.
Even though Covid restrictions have eased, the smugglers have discovered that the chances of detection along roughly 400 miles of coastline are minimal, and likely switching launching locations regularly makes it difficult for the French authorities to track them.
Of course, what happens to migrants after the boats have launched its of no consequence to smugglers, as long as they’ve been paid – so even if bribing an authoritarian country to take them off our hands had succeeded, it would likely have made no difference to migrant arrivals.
Never mind that for most originating countries, once an applicant’s claims have eventually been processed, the majority are found to have valid asylum claims (including just over half of all Albanians, who the government’s media allies try to portray as all bogus!)
We really need to put our foots down on this situation, seriously.
The country is making a joke out of itself.
Look at all our own who are struggling!!!
It pisses me off that people my grandma’s age have to choose between heating and eating.
Absolutely unbelievable.
And the real reasons behind Brexit are slowly revealed. It was all about getting out of the European court of human rights, so the tories can run utterly amok. They’ll start with using immigrants as the reason, but know that their main goal is to remove workers rights & protections.
You’re going to lose your paid leave. You’re going to lose your maternity and paternity pay. Sick pay. The minimum wage. Protection against unfair dismissal.
Watch them closely, as the introduce legislation that appears to revolve around stopping immigrants but which is in fact aimed squarely at you.
Oh I’m sure the Tories would love to make a lot of changes to the modern slavery rules.
It’s not hard. Processing centre in France. Stop going on about boats.
Let us be quite clear; the Tories don’t give a shit about the boat people, about migration, about modern slavery claimants (real or bogus). They are doing **nothing** to ‘solve’ any of these problems.
All they’re interested in is blowing the dog whistle to their ‘base’ – who have proved, again and again, only too willing to sit up and beg.
Yeah yeah they call for changes to make it look like they are doing something and then actually do nothing and the whole situation gets worse.
We can already send bogus asylum seekers home.
This is the same idea as voting Brexit to “take back control of our borders”. We already have the power to do that, Tories are just shit at it.
Purposefully so I suspect, so that they have a reason to justify whatever outrageous legislation they please.
“If they have really been taken against their will, then they could not reasonably object to being returned to their own homes. ‘’
Wow such an obvious loophole 🙄
unsafe/abusive homes and families don’t exist, I’m sure no one’s ever been sold, trafficked by, or been stolen from their family before. Send them all back to their loving families and wonderful lives. /s
If someone was a genuine asylum seeker, where conditions in their home country are so bad that there’s an immediate threat to life, then any country in Europe would be suitable for a new home.
However, they travel across several of these suitable countries, then pay people smugglers a fortune to risk their lives crossing the channel.
These clearly aren’t asylum seekers but illegal migrants.
The two are very different and shouldn’t be grouped together and treated as the same thing.
