Politics Today

[DB9]

Do we all remember when those photos of a Greek? Policeman was looking down at the body of a four year old who drowned while crossing the Med? It was back in Cameron's day i think and that photo went viral around the world and all these Politicians said how awful it was and how we must all do something, Well just like COP26 and other things, its on the front page for a few days then nothing and its a case of "Rewind and repeat" and that is what's happening now, All these Politicians will say the same things and it will be forgotten until the next time and it will happen, Time and time again.

[Mr Jinx]

Net migration figures for the UK have come out for 2020 and we're down to the tens of thousands at last! Well the ones we know about that is. 30k ish apparently.

Thank you Brexit.

Linky thing please as those stats contradict with this from Wiki unless there has been a mass upsurge since 2018

Overview of Asylum Applications in Japan 2012 - 2018[22][25][26][27]

Year	Total number of asylum applications received	Total number of asylum applications approved
2012	2,545	18
2013	3,260	6
2014	5,000	11
2015	7,686	27
2016	10,901	28
2017	19,628	20
2018	10,493	42

Whereas in Germany and Canada around 40% of asylum applications are approved, in Japan the number averages 0.2 percent.[28] On occasion, where Japan has stopped short of granting official refugee status, a limited number of applicants have been granted permission to stay on humanitarian grounds.[29] In 2016, 97 refugee applicants were granted permission to stay on this basis. Decisions on refugee status in Japan are often slow, and confirmation of deportation orders are not widely published. Resubmission of asylum claims by previously unsuccessful applicants often occurs.[30]

Hi Al, ignore my last one on Japan. I had another quick look and misinterpreted the data

The easiest way of ensuring that asylum seekers don't cross the channel in boats, is to have somewhere on mainland Europe where they can apply for asylum into the UK, prior to arriving in the UK.

The problem for politicians is, that the MSM will slate whoever's in charge saying "opening the floodgates and inviting them in, before they've even arrived" and the like. As a result, it's a non starter. So people will continue trying to get to the UK and this nonsense continues on.

I think Australia set up a processing centre in Papua New Guinea.

I have seen a suggestion that we should set up a similar facility on the Falkland Islands and fly the illegals there. Not so easy then to "disappear" into the community.

O.K. I thought the figure looked high as Japan is not that welcoming and has different cultures from those in Europe, as well as a difficult language.

The Wiki figures looked very low mind.

Plenty of illegal immigrants have "disappeared" into the community.

A U.K. asylum processing centre in the middle of France (for example) would be a magnet for every economic migrant under the sun, and as I said, where would the unsuccessful go when they are rejected? Home?
