Don’t talk shite Mark, how’s anyone supposed to argue with that?

You really can be short sighted at times.

 

Some of them COULD be Islamist terrorist. Let's ban the lot of them.

 

Don't expect the queues at A&E to degrees any time soon, mind....

Depends on the criteria.  If you're unskilled and uneducated, but likely to be murdered by the state because they think you look like you might be a wrong-un, that points system might not seem all that fair.  It's easy to design systems if you aren't desperate to escape.

You mean like the parents of the Manchester bomber? Gadaffi was fairly brutal in tracking down extremists and sending them to prison. Some of them escaped to Britain to claim asylum.... 

 

Taking in asylum seekers sounds an awesome idea until you realise we are giving asylum to extremists...

So we we become the only country to accept every desperate human in the world. Ok then, that sounds fine.

Don't know about the people you refer to, but you are quite right - accepting large numbers of immigrants (economic or refugee) will mean some criminally minded or sociopathic people will get in among them; such people can be found in every population group.  The question is: would you prefer to ban them all or accept the inevitable problems that come with compassion?  This isn't an easy question and everyone will draw a line somewhere.  But societies that are intolerant or fearful of outsiders tend also to be intolerant to descent against the establishment by their own people, too.  Balance the freedom:safety thing how you see fit.

We need to develop better screening methods, and nobody is saying let all asylum seekers in. It is important to remember that the vast majority of desperate people are trying to get away from extremists themselves.
