RollingJ Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 11 minutes ago, Organgrinder said: Why are you both arguing about the media reports instead of arguing about the problem ? We have 175,000 people, apparently seeking asylum and this number is going to keep growing because nobody can stop the boats. We have a government who cannot process these people and determine whether they have a right to asylum. We have a government that binned the Dublin agreement, which would have allowed us to send back those who were refused asylum. Consequently, we cannot deport anyone even when we decide that they shouldn't be here. A few big problems to sort out there and you are arguing whether media reports are true or false or whether they are male or female. Doesn't matter one way or the other . Because in terms of what we were discussing, that was a legitimate 'argument'. Your obsession with the rest of your post (is it a C&P job?) is bordering on stupid.

The French have already accepted twice as many asylum seekers than we have therefore It's quite possible the French people are twice as fed up as we are. In those circumstances, it's not very fair to blame the French, although it's natural that some people will share cressida's view. Germany have also accepted a lot too so the problem is not just confined to us. I predict that they will come in even greater numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's possible governments may get even softer, they cannot control the situation. The only solution I can see is to grant the 175,000 asylum status but not citizensship They will need to give us full details of who they are and where they are from This will allow them to work and within 6 months they have to find a job and somewhere to live because that's when government support will end where they will have to leave their temporary accommodation and access to benefits will stop They are not allowed to be on any council housing lists or entitled to social housing They're families will not be looked to join them in the UK They will be assessed each year and if can be returned if their country is deemed safe. If they commit a crime that carries a custodial sentence they will be deported to their country of origin upon release from prison These terms apply to men only....women and children will still be given full support If they are not happy with this arrangement they can leave the UK and claim asylum somewhere else Edited August 27, 2023 by Jack Grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your obsession with the rest of your post (is it a C&P job?) is bordering on stupid. What's a C & P job ? Ah, you mean cut & Paste. Why should I need to do that when I have kept repeating these words throughout and only changed the number as new figures emerge.

I never C & P because I never find it necessary due to the fact that I know what I'm talking about. By the way, my comments were not so stupid as arguing about which way media reports are slanted whilst ignoring the asylum seekers problem. You have not said anything useful during the entire debate. Just your usual, try to pull the other posters down. Edited August 27, 2023 by Organgrinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes years of legitimate status before being eligible to apply for citizenship 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: They will need to give us full details of who they are and where they are from They do this now 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: This will allow them to work and within 6 months they have to find a job and somewhere to live because that's when government support will end where they will have to leave their temporary accommodation and access to benefits will stop You can't grant Asylum to someone with conditions to maintain in order to keep that asylum status. That's why they don't have to renew Asylum each year or 2 years. You accept they are unable to return to their country and grant Asylum. 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: They are not allowed to be on any council housing lists or entitled to social housing So your either advocating making people homeless or that they obtain a well paid job to get a mortgage? 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: They're families will not be looked to join them in the UK We can't prevent families joining. Plus we don't actively split families. 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: They will be assessed each year and if can be returned if their country is deemed safe. Asylum is not temporary 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: If they commit a crime that carries a custodial sentence they will be deported to their country of origin upon release from prison That happens now but that depends on th circumstances of Asylum. 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: These terms apply to men only....women and children will still be given full support You can't set conditions based on genders 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: If they are not happy with this arrangement they can leave the UK and claim asylum somewhere else It's not a case of being happy it's a case of being legal. Those conditions are not legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes women and children could be oppressed Yes, with the cultural attitudes towards women in the countries asylum seekers are fleeing from I’ve no doubt at all there are oppressed women. But there aren’t boatloads and boatloads full of grinning and waving young women arriving though are there. ***And just to be absolutely clear, I’m not saying there are no female asylum seekers, I’m saying they are arriving in much smaller numbers*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That's what you're saying. I help these people They would but out population isn't likely to be angry at seeing a smiling child. Ok - can you provide statistics on the male/female ratio arriving on small boats? I don’t think any sensible person would dispute that there are women and children on them. But they are far outnumbered by young men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
