OMG Human Rights Lawyers Again

Of course. You seem to judge people from your own standards of inventing nonsense and hoping people believe it.


"In the mid 1990s only 4% of asylum seekers were recognised as refugees and, of those who appealed, only a further 4% went on to win their appeals. Now, 76% of asylum seekers are recognised as refugees and a further 50% go on to win their appeals. "
you havent read the article you quoted as "evidence"


it explains the reasons why the change:

1)" into the early 2000s, a significant number of asylum seekers who were denied refugee status were granted Exceptional Leave to Remain"

2) "the apparent shift in 2020-21 was caused in part by a change in the way asylum refusals were counted at the Home Office"

3) "the change in success rate is that the nationalities of those claiming asylum has changed. It might conceivably be the case that asylum seekers have increasingly come from countries where there is genuine and widespread persecution"

I never mentioned reasons. I said it had changed and provided evidence. SImple.

Looks like there's only one of us who didn't read the article, and it's not me.

Speaking for myself, I am far from convinced that there was less danger and repression in previous decades compared to today. The situation in Sudan was appalling in the 2000s yet the grant rate was far lower then. The Taliban ran Afghanistan in the 1990s as well as the 2020s and yet the grant rate was far lower then. The situation in Eritrea is appalling but no worse now than in previous years, as far as I am aware. Iranian crackdowns seem to come in waves. My own view is that the situation in countries from which asylum seekers come is probably not overall getting worse over time.
