Asylum seekers and refugees in the UK

Asylum seekers in the UK

Too many?

This is quite a lively debate on the topic of asylum seekers near bicester in the UK. Are you for or against the current government policy on asylum seekers. Are we doing our bit, or have we done more than enough?



So this is it the French have finally decided to succumb to closing the Sangatte camp, on the grounds that we in the UK accept half. Why? Have we not got enough ‘British Citizens’ already?

21-2-2010 Stop! Stop! Stop! It’s not a race issue, the government want us stacked ten high on this pathetic island for economic reasons.

22-10-2009 The Poles are not 'racist'. All they are doing is keeping their culture pure and their country free of uncontrolled immigration. If that makes them 'racist' then there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the word bu those who insist on using it.MikeP
22-10-2009 The only party willing to act are the BNP, thats why they will get my vote. The government are using immigration to force down wages.
