The madness of Labour's asylum policy continues

People are learning the hard way about the consequences of Labour's asylum policy; the policy of allowing the continuing flood of economic migrants, to be pampered with benefits and when asylum claims are refused for so many to simply disappear into their own communities.
The madness of Labour's asylum policy continues.
People are learning the hard way about the consequences of Labour's asylum policy; the policy of allowing the continuing flood of economic migrants, to be pampered with benefits and when asylum claims are refused for so many to simply disappear into their own communities.
Despite Labour Minister's claims to the contrary, the fact remains Britain is soft on asylum which is why so many find their way onto our islands. Today the news emerges that thousands of refugees are being assigned to already overburdened GPs by health authorities each month leaving GPs with little option but to remove other patients from their registers.
The problems emerged after an 88-year-old widow in Stoke was turned away from a surgery she had attended all her life because her doctor had been ordered to take residents of a nearby refugee centre. Her name was one of 20 removed at random to make way for residents of a nearby asylum seeker hostel and will be forced to travel 2 miles to a newly assigned doctor in Hanley.
If this wasn't enough, to add insult to injury reports emerged over the weekend that some of Britain's historic houses and some luxury hotels are being sought to accommodate more migrants. So clearly Blair and Blunkett are not considering sealing our national borders for the foreseable future. Defiant locals are however fighting back where they can; a group of villagers from the Lincolnshire village of Caythorpe yesterday protested outside Caythorpe Court, a former agricultural college which the Home Office has pencilled in for acting as housing for migrants.
While other western European countries such as Denmark, France and Italy are dealing with their immigration problems in ways more in keeping with the demands of the electorate who have voted in the past 2 years for nationalist anti-immigration parties, Labour continues to welcome all arrive here with a begging bowl. The message for Labour is clear; Britons will not vote for the party while it continues to squander taxpayers' hard earned cash on unwelcome and unwanted migrants. The elections coming up in May will demonstrate that most clearly.

On another note I have no idea how the press have managed to make the idea of being an asylum seeker almost appealing with stories of comfortable accommodation, cars and jobs. I have no idea what it is like to have to move into a foreign country on asylum but I wouldn’t fancy it. Especially onto one where you are instantly unwelcome by the people if not the laws.

I wouldn't have a problem with being anti economic immigration so long as we were doing our upmost to foster global economic equality and not being such blatent international criminals - only our own government surveys show our workforce is becoming desperately underskilled (too many thick as pig shit white scum clogging up the education system probably), the need to immigration is critical.

BIN THE BNP
Even within the EU, the UK ranked 10th in terms of asylum applications in relation to the overall population in 2001. The truth about refugee movements is the world's poorest countries both produce and bear responsibility for most refugees. During 1992-2001, 86 per cent of the world's estimated 12 million refugees originated from developing countries, whilst such countries provided asylum to 72 per cent of the global population (source: UNHCR). If you consider global refugee and asylum seeking populations in relation to the host country's size, population and wealth, the UK ranks 32nd. Taking the greatest burden are Iran, Burundi and Guinea.
A recent MORI poll demonstrates the impact of such misinformation, showing that people vastly overestimate the numbers of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK - on average people think that 23% of the world's refugees and asylum seekers are in the UK, more than 10 time greater than the reality, which is actually less than 2%.
The idea that Britain or indeed any other European country is a 'soft touch' is simply not true. As European countries from Denmark and Holland to Switzerland introduce increasingly tougher immigration controls, it is extremely difficult to gain entry to Europe at all. If we compare the numbers of asylum seekers granted protection in the UK with those in Canada, the UK emerges as far from being a 'soft touch'. In 2001, Canada granted protection to 97% of Afghan asylum applicants, where the UK granted only 19%. Somali applicants had a 92% success rate in Canada, where in the UK it was only 34%. 85% of Colombian applicants in Canada were granted protection, against a mere 3% in the UK.
