Ok, I’ll keep my tone neutral for this topic and just ask a question:

Anyone see the refugees making a gang-bust entrance to the Channel Tunnel on the news? 150 charging down the tunnel and towards England.
Quote from the MP for Dover “The French are treating them deliberately badly and positioning the camp so near as to all but send them over themselves”

My question, as raised by the MP is this:

Why, if you flee your homeland from oppression and brutality, do you then travel 400-500 miles across Europe to England, when surely as soon as you have left your country, you are safe?
The MP called it “Asylum shopping, not asylum seeking. They are already in a free and sympathetic country, why then push on to England?”
Why not stay in France, where you are not being a victim of whatever drove you from your home?
Why cross hundreds of miles of free, democratic countries to get to England.
If life is so harsh, surely anywhere is better than where you left?

I don’t get it.

Canada for me as well. They've gave us Celine Dion, so I think we have every right to do what we want with their country ;-).

Or Switzerland.

It would make sense.
But I only want to go to Canada.

Sounds like you need a 'refugee exchange' scheme there Goaty.

By letter (bomb) or email.

Failing that, send loads of "refugees" clinging to the outside of trains and tucked up in wheel-wells of aeroplanes.

Hell, they want in and I want out, it's not fair.

How exactly does someone in Taliban controlled Afghanistan (for instance) register with one of our embassies?

It's not just france. To get to france they go through belgium or germany. Every country just shoves them our way. We need to change the system. My idea was to only let asylem seekers in if they register their claim at one of our embassys and then wait to be accepted. If anyone sneeks in then they get sent back through the tunnel. Or we could just set up a camp like the french are doing.

Other countries treat them badly, check Australia for most recent details. Whereas England does not. Did you see the story about refugees actually turning down housing in Birmingham? That's just a little strange, I get the feeling that some of these people are taking the mick just a bit.
