Yet another asylum seeker says 'Thank you' in their own special way to the country that accepted them

Saliva.

And what does that show? Is it some sort of DNA test?

Look it up

Look it up

That's not very helpful

There might be all sorts of saliva tests.

If you mean a DNA test then, from what I've seen on Who Do You Think You Are, I don't think they are accurate enough to be much use in these circumstances.

How can they possibly prove they have valid reasons to seek asylum?

How can you possibly prove they haven't?

 

[denso13]

They should have made that application from safety in France.

Not possible, they aren't allowed to.

 

[MNW67]

How can you possibly prove they haven't?

Where does the burden of proof lie?

 

[denso13]

They destroy all their paperwork, so they cannot prove anything.

Then they aren't granted asylum. Don't believe the Mail hype.

 

[denso13]

Where does the burden of proof lie?

It lies with the asylum seeker. Harry can't possibly know that they are all "at it", but he claims he does.

How can you possibly prove they haven't?

How can you possibly prove they have?

 

[denso13]

How can you possibly prove they have?

Because they are granted asylum.

By you argument, if it was so easy why doesn't every one who applies get asylum? Why are deportations up?

 

[MNW67]

Maybe it varies, then. I don't want to pry. But maybe that was more of a relationship DNA test rather than a country of origin test?

When I saw your reply, I had been just about to post something more scientific than my previous post. This is from 2016:

The UK has decided to drop its policy of identifying refugee and asylum seeker nationalities by using DNA tests. The recently developed DNA identification project was due for internal review but this is now suspended.

The reason for the abandonment of this project is down to the lack of backup from scientists. It has been claimed the tests, which were hoped to provide information to the UK Border Agency about a person’s country of origin, actually offered little in the way of solid proof.

In addition to testing genetics, the identification project also dabbled with using isotope analysis of nail and hair samples. The composition of these samples was claimed to provide information about places frequented by a person. However, the tests were only able to provide clues about a person’s recent dwellings.​

Ever done your service mottie?

Whether it involved actual life and death fighting, or not.

mottie has said that he would fight...

(pole dancer vs drone? )

But not wanting his kids to do so...

And yet the fellow RW fruitcakes say our 'feckless youth' should be conscripted as they have no 'backbone'...

Hardly a joined up approach is it...

But par for the course with that lot!

Mrs Motties mate found out she had a half-sister by one of those genealogy services. She and her new half-sister had both signed up to it and were introduced to each other. Turned out her taxi driving (now deceased) dad had been playing away while her mum was pregnant and got that woman up the duff!

Yip, they reveal all of the uncomfortable truths people try to hide.

interesting article but I don't agree with it
