“First safe country”

[motorbiking]

There are 3 kinds of Migrants
1 - Those with skills, money etc who are eligible for visas. They will make a contribution to the country and if the rules are set up well this will be a greater contribution than they take. Welcome.
2 - Those who are genuinely fleeing persecution and for whatever reason - the UK is the nearest/easiest safe country to give them protection. Welcome until things improve at home.
3 - Those who just want a better life, or to be funded by a generous country, who see the UK as soft touch or just a better place to live. See option 1, that is you way in.

was this a split from another thread or something?

Is this the thread where we pick up the conversation on Self Employment vs Employment?

Why was that locked? I didn't see anything to have it locked.

It's interesting, there's a talking head on tv just now saying 80% of applications to remain are approved. His assertion is, the high majority of migrants are therefore genuine/okay and should be allowed to work etc until their applications have been processed.

The cynic in me tends to wonder how robust the application process is if 80% are approved. I've not fact checked that %.

UK did once feel safe. However recent governments, ie. the ones charged with keeping us safe, actually make it more dangerous all the time.

All 830 residents of my village were not victims of crime this week. Shocking...

No idea - maybe it was to direct focus to the numerous duplicate state of Gaza/nasty Jews threads.

Poor Mottie, trying to comment on something he knows nothing about.

Oh dear

Didn't fancy having a stab at answering the question then? Thought not, usual diversionary tactics from Swerve7.

The government is focusing on speeding up the process with specific KPIs that may discourage risking an appeal. The applicants are normally well briefed on how to make a successful claim and the tax payer picks up the bill. The Appeals are public info, I've posted links before. A lot of the appeals are very weak and you'd be surprised at the benefit of the doubt that is given.

Given the appeals claims - Iran seems to be the rainbow capital of the world.

You do have a vivid imagination.

Your reply nailed it. The usual forum idiots, munching wasps as normal.

It was a question containing misinformation. Ask an honest one and I'll happily answer.

Why don’t you ask and answer your own question if you don’t like mine and if that will be any easier for you?

I'm ok thanks, no need.

 

[Mottie]

Easy get out there then.

Ask a sensible question and I'll happily answer, I've already said that.

Yeah, of course you would. Shall I just keep asking until I hit on one you can answer?
