Course it isn't, don't be silly.So, your idea of safe routes is to just allow anyone in to the UK, regardless?

Nope.Hotel stars do not indicate quality or luxury or price. They indicate facilities provided. Such as a washbasin in the room, or a coat rack.
A multi star hotel can be dirty and run down, with mice, dripping taps and torn carpets

What is your idea of a safe route?Course it isn't, don't be silly.

Applying for entry away from the UK. This is basic stuff.What is your idea of a safe route?
Nope.

So do you seemingly, I want to stop the boats you are happy to deal with them when here.They like the current way, it garantees them a place in a hotel.

Yes. But they aren't living in 4 star hotels, so your post is irrelevant.4 Star hotels must meet the following criteria:
(in addition to the requirement at the 3 Star level)
- Expectation is for higher quality of service levels in all departments and in general higher staffing levels; as well as a serious approach and clear focus to the food and beverage offering.
- All areas of operation should meet the 4 Star level of quality for cleanliness, maintenance and hospitality, and for the quality of physical facilities and delivery of services.
- 24 hour room service, including cooked breakfast and full dinner during restaurant opening hours.
- Once registered, residents should have 24hour access, facilitated by on-duty staff.
- Enhanced services offered, e.g. Afternoon tea, offer of luggage assistance, meals at lunchtime, table service on request at breakfast.
- At least one restaurant, open to residents and non-residents, for breakfast and dinner seven days a week. Hotels without restaurants located within easy walking distance of a range of places to eat are required to serve as a minimum snacks/light refreshments in public areas/bedrooms, at least in core hours of between 7am to 11pm.
- All bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and all with WC and thermostatically controlled showers.
- Wi-Fi or internet connection provided in bedrooms.

Like at an airport.Applying for entry away from the UK. This is basic stuff.

No, you don't apply at an airport.Like at an airport.

A 'safe' route, as you call them, would also require the same documents as an airport before access is granted, I presume.No, you don't apply at an airport.
He can’t grasp the concept of it all.A 'safe' route, as you call them, would also require the same documents as an airport before access is granted, I presume.

Of course not. The only way you can claim asylum is in the UK. How do you do that at a foreign airport?A 'safe' route, as you call them, would also require the same documents as an airport before access is granted, I presume.

They're not claiming asylum at the airport, they wait until the flight lands in the UK to do that.Of course not. The only way you can claim asylum is in the UK. How do you do that at a foreign airport?

And they need a visa to get on the plane?They're not claiming asylum at the airport, they wait until the flight lands in the UK to do that.
