there is no legal or in my view moral reason why they should seek that sanctuary in the first "safe" country they arrive in. I'm not suggesting that they should be compelled, just that the umbrella moral status of "escaping danger" no longer applies when they have escaped danger and so are (ergo) no longer 'escaping danger'.

Now why would Rwandans be given asylum by the UK coming from a "safe" country?? Why would hundreds of thousands of illegals from France, a safe country, be given asylum? Because asylum seekers choose their destination?

Czn you not read? Your government's definition of asylym seeker is, i quote, "Asylum is protection given by a country to someone fleeing from persecution in their own country." Please pay careful attention to the words " THEIR OWN COUNTRY". Not someone else's. Please note: The UK Government’s position is that refugees should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach. The UN Refugee Agency says this is not required by the Refugee Convention or international law. People who have passed through a safe country can nevertheless be denied access to the UK asylum system. The law allows the Home Secretary to declare an asylum claim inadmissible if the person “has a connection to a safe third State”. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9724/"A connection." A family member. What other connection can there be? And here again we have this UK government behaving like a rogue state, trying to change laws that apply to every other UN member state. It is embarrassing. You would think the UK is the only place that has migrant problems.

The purpose of this thread, now ignored because it is too clear an indictment against the UK, is that Rwanda is said repeatedly to be a safe country. Except that the UK has granted asylum for Rwandans because they are not safe there. When is this Brexit government going to stop lying and playing games? Though i suppose they think if it happened once, it can always happen.

No, they are coming THROUGH France. Not FROM France. They are entering the UK FROM France. The point of course being that have no legitimate reason to do so - Asylum seekers will choose the best country for them, language will play a major part. To that extent maybe the UK is paying a penalty for the spreading of UK peoples DNA along with the English language over a number of centuries in the past? Don't get me wrong, I suspect the mass immigration of alien cultures and religions into Europe could possibly cause some devastating problems in the future.

Which is not the purpose of the asylum system - hence the attempts by the EU to stop asylum shopping.. 'Avramopoulos said a key aim of the reforms is to stop “asylum-shopping” that occurs when refugees move among EU countries in search of the best conditions to apply for asylum.'

I would support a grown up system where people seeking asylum in Europe were fairly distributed between the countries of Europe having regard to the claimants individual circumstances, Pacifico. I sense you wouldn't.

It seems that in the opinion of so many lefties ( here at least) ,a never ending stream of migrants who have left a perfectly safe country and entered this country by colluding with criminal trafficking gangs , is acceptable and/ or unavoidable ( depends on the leftie). I despair at how such naivety and cynicism be present in their heads at the same time

Czn you not read? Your government's definition of asylym seeker is, i quote, It doesn't really matter what the legal definition is because my argument is entirely moral, rather than legal, in nature. Any special moral status that is attendant upon a need to escape some danger, logically dissipates when you arrive at safety. It's simple stuff. To put it more directly, whatever the legality may be, these people are frauds and you are attempting to aid a fraud against the people of the UK.

So basically, this is what you want the law to be, rather than what the law actually is. That's fine, but you should have made that clear, because it reads as though you didn't understand what it actually said. Makes more sense now.

I sense you wouldn't. Au contraire - I want us to take in real asylum seekers direct from the worlds trouble-spots in a managed way. Not take in those who have the money to pay to be smuggled in from safe countries.

If the law allowed someone 'escaping a fire' to break into several houses over several days on the pretext of a special circumstance of 'escaping a fire', then someone doing this would still be engaging in a fraud, regardless of the law.

What Orac really means is that those who have suffeted, through no fzult of their own ans even someyimes the fault of his own country, have to accept spending the rest of their lives as displaced and unwilling pawns of someone else's country they didnt want to be in. That the fact that a large number of Somalians and Sudanese travel through Libya and Egypt and have no rights in either, have to stay there. I am beginning to see where Suella got her inspiration from.
Thank goodness Orac who has never had escape torture and abuse anywhere, is powerless to do anything but make wishes.

Why can other countries do it but the UK has to concoct highly dubious methods of dealing with their own problem? Why is the government, despite countless mzntions, refusing to open safe and legal routes while wringing their hands and pretending they care about people drowning? What they really want is to whitewash the population because the right would applaud it.
