No - it is manifestly wrong to draw comparisons between the government of this country and that of a despicable regime like the Nazi's - end of story.

I have no issues about people who apply and are assessed on their application criteria, but people who knowingly break the law the second they step on the beach are not the people we want as migrants - of any sort.
Read it again Mick. The government hasn't been compared to the Nazi's, what he's actually said is the wording is not dissimilar to that employed in 1930's Germany.

What you've also chosen to ignore is Braverman ADMITTING that the policy has a better than 50% chance of violating Human rights. She's actually admitted it, so they've created a policy that knowingly violates Human rights.

And you want to defend that?
 
Any of you guys have a solution??
The Government is always banging on about how we have zero unemployment and loads of business owners are moaning that they can't get cheap labour. My instinct is to let all those people who are already here, staying in immigration centres and hotels, get proper jobs. Let them work their way to citizenship.

My worry is that it would make the UK a more attractive destination and probably encourage more economic migrants to risk their lives crossing the Channel.
 
I know for a fact that economic migrants cannot walk into this country without permission or paperwork (passport) - I personally know one who was rejected, and he had a British wife. (My B in L) and had filled in all of the relevant application paperwork in advance.
I know for a fact that to enter the country without travelling through a recognised port of entry or having passport is illegal, to do so is to break the law

Therefore everything else you have said is irrelevant.
I've listed those areas that are covered by international law. There are some cases that include "economic migrants". I don't have any knowledge as to how this works, what is acceptable and what isn't. The definition of "migrant" is a wide one and what I posted attempts to cover some of the circumstances.

I've lived and worked in multiple countries as an ex-pat in my career, I had to apply to be given legal status, I wasn't escaping war, or famine, and I wasn't being persecuted. I was going there for the sole purpose as to earn a ton of money. So I had to fill out the forms and wait for a decision to be accepted or rejected. To this day I am unaware of the criterion used to accept or decline me (I was accepted in all applications).

I don't know the personal circumstances of your brother-in-law, but if he fitted the definitions as allready stipulated then he could enter the UK, he can't be arrested, he's not breaking the law because there is a law in existence that has been set up with accordance of the UK, especially for his protection.

It is NOT illegal to enter the UK if you fit the descriptions I've already posted. IT'S THE LAW as specified in 1951 Refugee Convention or The Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951.

Righto
 
Practice what you preach then.
Does crying to admin count as being able to take it?

You think you have the right to just go around calling people "cunts?" - have a word with yourself, your logic is so flawed
For fuck sake, if you come at me personally (and you did) I'm going to respond in kind, that's what I did, and that's what I will always do. If you can't handle this then don't make it personal, it's not a hard concept to take in surely.

Don't dish it out if you have no right to. Stick to football, because you are a sanctimonious bellend about just about everything else
A lot of people dislike you with a passion on here Mick, you are in the top 10 of most ignored members if you at all doubted this claim.

I've not been one of them. Always got on with you even if I disagreed with you.

I've not been abusive towards you once but here you are dishing it out getting personal like a true cunt. Perhaps they were right and I was wrong all this time.
 
To be fair I think a lot of them actually do.
One of the great myths that the extreme right try and peddle is that every asylum seeker in history seeks to come to our country :disdain:. When the reality is, compared to other countries of similar size / wealth such as France or Germany, we actually take in far fewer.

I don't know. But my guess is those that try to make our shores probably already have family, friends or some other connection that makes us a more attractive proposition

Sudan was also colonised by the British for half a century or so so their links are likely to be stronger with us. Just like fefugees fleeing war torn countries once colonised by the French, Dutch, Belgians etc have a natural tendency to migrate there
It what way is our Country of similar size to France and Germany. Maybe populations but not land to accommodate them.

Guido, you are wrong and you can't see it, you lectured me before about something that you had just discovered and here you are doing it again.
You are wrong in what you say because you can't see the difference between entering a country illegally and putting in an application for all of the things you quoted.

It's not illegal for you to come into my house.

But it is if you break in without permission

When you break the laws of a country, it affects the chances of you being accepted.

If Vladimir Putin landed on Ramsgate beach in a dinghy at 2 am are you telling me that international law mandates that we have to accept him?
