Knuckle draggers only ever respond to this punitive rhetoric. The British values they regularly refer to obviously don’t include compassion and empathy

It’s the human condition not to live in the moment but to have hope

How would you solve that problem - whether it be "my country of origin is an unpleasant place with few opportunities and I think I might like it better here", through to "I wrote an article the government in my home country didn't like and am highly likely to be killed or tortured if I return"?

Given the latter set of people are the vast majority of boat arrivals I refer you to my previous thread where I proposed a solution

OK. So your position is that any of the approx 80 million genuine refugees in the world can, should they so wish, walk into a British embassy or consulate anywhere in the world and get a protection visa / refugee status?

vaughanbw.bsky.social•45 days ago

(I recall from a previous exchange that you reject the proposition that a genuine refugee might be expected to request the protection of the French state while in that jurisdiction).

There are not 80m people who want to come to the UK nor will there ever be. This was debunked as nonsense in a previous thread quite extensively

Do you dispute that number of people with the requisite well founded fear of persecution? Or do you contend that such an individual, languishing in a camp in Ethiopia, would refuse resettlement in the UK were it to be offered?

That old chesnut! "I have decided to make it iliegal to break the law"....what could go wrong

Yes, let's punish the people exploiting that desperation, so that the desperate people will have to pay more and risk more.

That'll work, oh yeah.
