She doesn’t know. She just makes stuff up in order to whip up her racist groupies. She’s nothing more than a trash tabloid hackette and a very enthusiastic pay-for-play racist and hate monger.

Actually, as stated in the article - "It is an established principle that those in need of protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach and since January more than 60 people who arrived illegally in the UK on small boats have been returned to Europe."

Fine. But it's not whipping up hatred or racist to want to abide by established process or international pacts. Like the one the UK made with France. Actually, people like Miff who throw the word 'racist' about so lightly are the biggest whippers-up of division. By a distance.

I think it's safe to say that once you reach a safe country & then continue to risk your life, safety is no longer the priority. It's therefore difficult to still class anyone as an asylum seeker at that point. 1/2

2/2 As for the comments, they don't appear particularly 'racist' to me, rude maybe. We must stop cheapening that word, it is really beginning to lose all meaning. A legitimate concern over migration is a legitimate concern. It has nothing to do with race.

If they don't speak French but do speak English, it makes significantly more sense for them to make a claim in a country where they are able to navigate the legal system, no?
-
Or perhaps they already have extended family living here?

Please stop being reasonable and compassionate. This is a page for hatred, didn't you know?

The rules are you claim asylum in the first safe country you reach. It makes no sense to travel across Europe and try to cross the channel if you’re a genuine asylum seeker because the first country will help and accept you.
-
That’s the UN regulations but the European regulations say they should apply in the first country they get to and that decision applies to the whole of the EU. Also if they were genuine asylum seekers they’d of been accepted as such in any country they passed through.
-
The article covers that and says that they may be returned to another EU country under certain conditions, but it clearly states that UK case law has established there is no actual requirement to do so.
-
Fair enough I didn’t realise that. Personally if we’re going to take refugees I’d rather take them direct from camps in Jordan etc than people who have paid people traffickers to get them into Europe and then not claimed asylum on route to trying to cross the channel.

To be fair they might be but the bbc doesn't report on France at the moment for some reason

-
Everyone has seen France!! Why do you want them to keep reporting the same story? Any changes get reported.
-
So stories only get reported once and then only again when there's a change
.... Anyway chill its Saturday -
It’s been reported though! Everyone is aware. Team Brexit think it’s some conspiracy and everyone s hiding it! The French are protesting against their government, good on them.
