immigration/asylum - Why is it legal for asylum seekers, from all around the world to come across serveral different, Equally safe countries to Britain? I can understand that their neighbouring country could be the country they are at war with, But that's no excuse for traveling through the whole of Europe to get to Britain - I feel that we are being abused!

I can't really say much for the education and family system, as that is not my subject, but I can tell you to be careful... British people don't seem to like people immigrating into their country... good luck.

I agree with you. I think many of them come here for the exact reasons you stated. I know there are war torn countries and whatever but Britain is only a small island and there are plenty of safe countries in between us and their own country. They come here because they are practically guaranteed a good life and a job, if they feel like working, though they don't have to. I get about £300 a month in tax credits to help me stay at home with my own kids. There are people who have a problem with that when these illegals are coming in and being given brand new houses, some built for them, then they were getting those food voucher thingys but that's not good enough is it, they want the cash so they can go and buy themselves a corner shop and rip us off some more. I am all for the BNP on this one. It's not racist. It's fair. It doesn't happen in other countries. If I went to another country, they wouldn't just hand out free stuff just because I was foreign so why do people think it's racist if you don't want to do that?

I think it is terrible that people can not go and see their country in a mojor event without the worry of being attacked by these people, does it really matter about ones colour, the people that cause all this trouble should be shipped of to a small island and left there to die.\nAnd as for the last answer your one of them that should go to that small Island. It is a terrible shame this is a great contest that is normally overshadowed by these trouble makers. Im english and have seen many many riots caused by english people and I am not proud to english because of them, so what if your country loses at least you made it to the finals as for neo nazis Hmmmm what can I say let them rot in hell.

If only that were possible - let the MP's have a taste of what alot of the voters are feeling (the voters they choose to ignore I might add).\nAnd to Donald D - what are you talking about ??? Its already like living in Slovakia, Poland or any other Eastern European country although we're in England so why would we bother to move? I resent being told to move out of the country I was born and raised in because I dont like what the foreigners are doing to it !!!!!!

Let's get something straight danmoorex.England or the UK never threatened anyone. But understand this the UK has been threatened many times. By the likes of bigger bullies than the cowardly rabble that attempt to threaten the British way of life now.The Brits are a hardy lot. Mess with them at your peril.Organised German,French,Spanish armies tried to master them. All failed. So don't get the idea that the Brits will allow anyone to threaten them and get away with it.\nAs for Jesus Christ, if he existed at all He was probably English.

i live in the uk, and i believe we have to remember that 'immigrants' may have 'small regard' for life in our countries. merely because our governments have make it so easy for them to come into countries, and want to pass on jobs we can no longer be bothered to do and deem as below us, to those who are very willing to work.\nthere is always going to be a stigma and perception to all cultures. there is always going to be good and bad in all cultures. someone will definetly find something to say.\nmexicanc,blackes, whatever really....\njust live your life and chill out a bit. :)

i think it is disgraceful!!-we have lost the freedom of speech in the UK and are now being forced to bow down and comply with the wishes of individuals and organizations who preach racial hatred far louder than the two gentlemen to which you refer. when you consider that certain characters were allowed to preach hatred on the streets of london only a few months ago unmolested by the law only serves to fuel my disgust and contempt for this puppet government. the only reason the two gentlemen are in court is because certain government officials know they have ballsed up on the asylum issue and all they want to do is bury their head in the sand and pretend its not happening-well i am afraid it is. and but for the two men in the dock no-one would know the truth. i wish them good luck.

OK, you'll have got the idea that not everyone welcomes asylum-seekers in UK. \n\nFor the facts, I would not recommend anyone coming to UK for asylum if they've got a better option, eg Canada, US, Australia. But of European countries, they're pretty much all the same.\n\nI am assuming you are a single person, not coming with any children - the situation for families is a little better.\n\nIf you come to UK, you should claim asylum on arrival; as long as you have not come through another "safe" country ie any European country, and you declare your true identity on arrival, even if you have travelled on a false passport, (you mustn't destroy or lose the false document you travelled on, but hand in to Immigration at the airport), then you shouldn't be detained.\n\nMost Iraqis are currently denied asylum; it is not enough to point to the general conditions in the country, you need to proove that you personally will be targetted because of you politics, religion, ethnicity, etc, that you risk death or torture, and that the authorities in your country cannot or will not protect you.\n\nWhile you are claiming asylum, you will be given a room in a shared house, perhaps a shared bedroom, or a hostel place, or you might be lucky to get a flat to yourself; usually you will be housed in a high crime area, where foreigners are not very welcome. You will be given £40 a week to live, about 60US. You will not be allowed to work. You will be humiliated by endless bureaucratic procedures. \n\nOnce you are refused and have failed your appeal, usually after about six months, you will have to leave the accommodation, your money will stop, and you still will not be allowed to work. In present circumstances, it is unlikely you will be sent back, although some Kurds are now being returned to Kurdish areas. So you will be allowed to continue to stay on, living on Red Cross food parcels, sleeping on floors, or working illegally. You will not be allowed to go to college. You will only get basic or emergency healthcare. This could go on for years until you either return yourself with help from the Government, get deported when the situation improves, or eventually the government lets you stay because you've been here so long - currently 12 years, I think.\n\nIn short, it definitely is not worth coming unless you've got a really strong case, with good evidence. You should consider getting legal advice from a reputable advisor before making any moves. \n\nGood luck

Why Oh Why! do so many people come up with these asinine, inane, and totally ludicrous scenarios to justify illegal immigration. You are making a comparison where there is absolutely no correlation between the two situations. Remember it is ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION that this country has a problem with.

my answer is none and none it might make an interesting change if anyone from even a different town came here. Why leave England to get away from foreign people ,surely other countries are full of them ? !!!

The U.K. is a great place to be. The better question is why is the U.K. letting that freak (yeah, that is a good way to describe him) stick around.

"You whine about how you can't do anything, because you are afraid to risk your own lives...So you run away from your problems."\n\n\nSo, if you think this about the immigrants that have come to the US, that includes the first ones from England, that includes your ancestors.\n\nEdit: And how do you know that every illegal immigrant has that reasons? Is it that difficult to think that some may have the same reasons that your ancestors?

Its just to attract votes from nationalistic people - a british bill of rights.  obviously its rubbish - we have to be signed up to the human rights bill to be a member of europe so any conflict would be immediately overridden.  a bad idea anyway - it would just lead to arguments over interpretation and be inflexible.
