Aaaaand there it is.
According to the UN convention on the treatment of refugees:
- There is no "legally acceptable" way to travel to a safe country. Ergo dinghys are acceptable
- There is no limitations on how many safe countries you can travel THROUGH before applying for asylum status. As long as you apply for asylum status.
In addition:
- Asylum spending is 0.25% of the budget. Oil subsidies are 2%. Priorities?
- Asylum seekers are not entitled to regular UK benefits. They get treated as asylum seekers, i.e. they can't work, have to stay in a hotel (certainly not nice ones), and basically are treated like 2nd class citizens until they have been here long enough to be considered "allowed to work", which used to be 2 years, they were considering upping it to 5 years. Which is dumb.
So please for the love of the gods, educate yourself, and be less hateful.
