| FootballFan said: They say a bogus assaylum seeker is someone who passes through various safe countries in order to get to britain. For example, lets say someone from Afghanistan. They pass through an estimated 15 safe countries before they get to Britain. The BNP would argue that they could stop in any of those countries but choose Britain because we are more incline to give them a home benefits and various other luxuries. They do however say that when France Sweden Ireland Belgium and Holland go to war it is our moral duty as neighbours to accept them. I think what people are saying is in general they have good policies but many are unpractical. Im sure when i was reading the Daily Mail the policies where presented very differently. Hmm must be my imagination i mean...Newspapers never exaggerate....do they? |
I can see the point others make about asylum seekers regarding passage through various countries. If you are genuinely seeking asylum you should claim it in the first 'safe' country you come across. However, that perhaps pases unfair responsabilities on certain countries bordering a problem nation. The EU proposed a system where asylum seekers would be processed centrally in Europe and would then be sent to which ever EU country needed them or could best cope. Unfortunately that was in the rejected EU constitution which everyone hated despite what I expect to be a large majority never even bothering to read it.
I'm not so sure I would agree that in general they have good policies. They do have a few I would agree with but most of them are ill thought out and they have many others which I would strongly disagree as well as a few which contridict each other. There's no question that if they ever did get into power (which they won't) they would be a complete disaster for the country. I also find it funny how some conservatives can support them given how liberal most of their (non-immigration) policies are.
