Two years later Blair opened the east European floodgates and Britain changed forever. Labour considered detaining asylum seekers on the Isle of Mull as part of a "nuclear option" to slash the number of migrants coming to Britain, files reveal. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair believed our system for processing applications 20 years ago was "mad" and urged his advisers to "search out ever more radical measures".
