/// Britain has not sent any asylum seekers back to Greece for five years after human rights judges ruled that conditions there were inhumane. ///

/// Under EU rules, refugees are meant to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach, and can be returned there if they instead seek refugee status in a richer
nation. ///

/// But Ministers have admitted that there have been no returns to Greece under the so-called Dublin Regulations since 2010 because of a judgment by the powerful European Court of Human Rights. ///

Islay, just 2 days ago you stated that you were “proud that I was not born here.”
Now, I don’t know where you were born, nor how long you have lived here, and I wouldn’t be so presumptuous as to ask. (Nor do I actually care). But I find your statement pompous and somewhat offensive!

[Islay]

Of course I am proud that I was not born here!!! What a silly thing to bring up. I am proud of where I was born as it is part of my and my families history.

[Togo]

//Of course I am proud that I was not born here!!!//

So wherever it was is obviously preferable. What could the attraction be in the UK. The weather, the food, our TV programmes? Do tell us. Do you intend to, ever return and, claim your birthrights? After all you seem to revere your family history. Are you worried that in your absence it might become bespoiled? Questions questions.

[Bigbad]

Islay. So you are proud not to have been born here, but I’m not seeing any gratitude or recognition for being here either!

I’d like to see an answer to the (pertinent) questions that Togo has asked.

[Svejk]

Be fair, It can't be nice to be held in a country you don't like against your will.

[Togo]

//Well I come here because I can. Because despite not being born in this country I have rights//

Are you afforded the same 'rights' in your birthplace? What 'rights' would we have if we decided to go there, it sounds marvellous?

[jackthehat]

LoL....what a lot of prejudiced, knee-jerk reactions are on display on this thread.

[Svejk]

^That's telling her, jack.

[Islay]

Well well well

What a lot of assumptions and negative responses

[naomi24]

Svejk, exactly what I was thinking. ;o)

[bazwillrun]

"Well well well

What a lot of assumptions and negative responses "

well, if you dont like it you know what you can do , dont you !?

[Islay]

No bazwillrun why don't you tell me?

[bazwillrun]

Try and think for yourself, i know that will be a bit difficult but give it a go you might surprise yourself...and take a couple of paracetamol first that will help with the headache you'll no doubt get from the effort

[Togo]

Answer the questions politely posed perhaps? Or are the answers more alarming than the questions?

[New Judge]

Ladies! Gentlemen! Per...lease !!

This is "News" not "Slaggerbank"

Get back to the question. AOG has posed an interesting point. If another EU nation is not a satisfactory place for the UK to send illegal immigrants, where is ?????

[webbo3]

I think New Judge just gave his gavel a good banging, and quite right to.


Dave.

[Togo]

Home? NJ

[retrocop]

NJ
I note you chose to call them illegal immigrants and not genuine asylum seekers fleeing persecution and death.The answer therefore is simple as Togo said. Home!!

[New Judge]

Sorry to bang my gavel but I don't like to see decent questions degenerate into a slanging match.

Trouble is, Togo and retro, "home" is often unknown because most of these poor, lost souls manae to lose their papers and refuse to say where they came from. That's why it's important they are intercepted as soon as they land. Then we know at least where they last embarked and they can be returned there (but of course they won't be).

[Togo]

NJ a simple blood test can (I'm told) deduce with accuracy exactly where anyone in the world is likely to have been born within a few square miles. This technology has been secretly and quietly honed and information gathered. If people do not know where they are from and what their vital personal ancestry is, it must surely be our duty and responsibility to give them the information. It is even considered to be inhumane for people not to have or to have been denied this basic right in some cases and scenarios.
