I'm not sure if you've looked at a map, the rule is 1st safe country, not the 2/3/4/5/6th.

 

If you're moving from an unsafe country to a safer country it's not like shoe shopping you don't walk around trying on different ones. 

If you want to talk sense, I’m here to listen, people from some war torn countries can not get a legal way here, so they come by boat along with a load of illegals, because they have no way of applying for asylum until they are here. I’m sure you are to dim to see where it’s going wrong. And before you say it isn’t going wrong, illegal immigrant numbers are rising year on year.

Pick a war torn country and look at a map before trying to make out that they just get on a boat. Why not pick one and see.

 

You can still walk into any uk embassy in any neighboring country and request an application.

 

I know perfectly well where it's going wrong, the EU doing sod all to stop them crossing the whole of Europe and us not changing the law to say NO. Because it's not in the EU's benefit.

What he’s saying Eggs is that they have come through loads of ‘safe’ countries before they get here.

They’re safe, there’s no need to travel on to here.

 

That’s the genuine refugees.

 

The Albanians I would just machine gun in the Channel.

I know Mark, and I’m a bit tongue in in cheek, and English is a second language for a lot of people, speaking the lingo must help?

 

My point is, if you make laws that make it impossible to apply for asylum from certain countries, they will travel over land and cross the busiest shipping lane in the world to get here.

Let's start with which countries.

No.

 

you come across as someone who would know which countries citizens are excluded.

 

probably best to do your own homework if you don’t know.

 

It’s all out there to view.
