@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ You are so tiresome. I know about international & UK asylum law, how they interact, processes, all the nuances, definitions, repercussions of illegal arrival if claims fail, rights if claims succeed, the costs, the global context, the comparisons with Europe etc. You quote Grok.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@Councillorsuzie Hilarious. He has been voted in three times by the people of London? You? None. The only catastrophic failure is yourself. And every time you poke up on here bleating your nonsense, the more people think you are ridiculous. Time to stop.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ Counter argument to what? I’ve completely dismantled your nonsense about Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria etc with reference to actual data compiled by the EU Agency for Asylum. What are you on about?

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ /…perceived economic opportunities and labour market conditions. UK (and France, Germany, Italy, Spain) have all these. The countries you named generally don’t. I doubt very many people in Afghanistan or Sudan speak Latvian or Bulgarian for a start Get it? Now please give it up.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ Not at all. This really is ‘clutching at straws’. Do you not think destination choice has been examined? The EU Agency for Asylum lists: family, language, cultural connections; established communities from country of origin; information networks and available travel route /…..

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ There are numerous reasons people choose the UK, and of course only a tiny minority of the world’s asylum seekers/refugees do. The logical conclusion of your argument is that just because UK is near the end of the line (some go on to Ireland) we shouldn’t have any asylum seekers

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@GoodwinMJ Asylum seekers are here legally. Stop lying. Please.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ Arriving via an illlegal route, moving through safe countries and having no docs must specifically not prejudice a claim, in int’l law. No evidence that ‘benefits are a draw. Asylum seekers don’t get ‘benefits’. Tolerance? What tolerance?

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ You simply don’t know what you are talking about. Seeking asylum is not an ‘illegal objective’, and the very fact that plenty of people who arrive by boat (the only way of getting here if not already here on a visa) get refugees status proves that. Learn some law, really.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ Yes, looked after by the rest of the £1.4trillion.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ I continue to assert it because it’s true. Someone arriving via an illegal route claiming asylum becomes an asylum seeker under a legal process until their claim has been decided. Hence not an ‘illegal’ anything. QED.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@60thorney @GoodwinMJ That near-£1.4trillion helps ‘plenty of our own people. Love the ‘you’re what’s wrong with society’ meaningless nonsense. I’m not the one who said ‘no money for our own’ which is just silly.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@60thorney @GoodwinMJ That’s why governments have reduced spending on ODA (including the spend on asylum seekers and refugees) to less than 1% of spend.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@mikeosmond @GoodwinMJ What, Gary Cooper?

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@mikeosmond @GoodwinMJ ‘Marshall’ law 🤣🤣🤣

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@JustAManLiving @GoodwinMJ It’s less than one penny in every pound of government spending. It’s not the problem.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@SamLowryTuttle @GoodwinMJ Yes dear, of course they do. Don’t worry, the men in white coats will be along soon.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@anotherquery @GoodwinMJ About one penny in every pound of government spending. In other words 99p of every pound is spent ‘at home’. Foreign aid is not the problem!

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@GoodwinMJ All misinformation, with no understanding of what those projects are really doing. Or wilful manipulation. Which is it? Less than one penny in every pound of government expenditure is ODA (or ‘foreign aid’). It’s a relative pittance and a far cry from Cameron’s 0.7% of GDP. Stop.

[botsworth @botsworth80873]

@60thorney @GoodwinMJ You clearly don’t have a brain. Look up how much of the government’s £1.3triilion budget is spent on schools, hospitals m, pensioners and farmers (clue: most of it). Then look up how much goes in foreign aid (less than half a penny in every pound). Then stop writing nonsense.
