There is. I've known a few people personally in fact who were from places like Iran who had entered the UK legally, and then their personal situation changed and they couldn't return home, thus they applied for asylum. And got accepted as well.

I also want to stop the boats and the exploitative gangs doing this, but any approach that isn't opening up safe and legal routes for applications to be made is just advocating for everyone else to bear the burden of global instability the UK played a disproportionate role in creating.

Sounds like we're more in agreement than disagreement then?

I assume you mean there hasn't. I think it's a pretty apt way to describe a mob descending on a hotel to try and burn it down because asylum seekers are inside.

No? There has. People in the UK have attacked migrant hotels and even a few got attacked in Larne a while ago during the summer.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
