Our contempt for these performative charlatans should be absolute.

“There is no evidence that making access to democratic societies harder discourages refugees from fleeing persecution. It should be a compliment that victims of torture and repression take a bet that even the nastiest side of British justice is milder than the life they are leaving behind.”

Let’s not beat around the bush, this is a return to Dickensian prison hulks.This performative cruelty makes me sick to my stomach.

“The banal reality is that Britain’s asylum system is not working for much the same reason that so many other public services are falling apart after 13 years of Conservative government: inadequate budgets and a lack of political will to address institutional reform.”

#UKAsylumPolicy = Disgraceful. I'm ashamed of our country.

The UK Government is trying very hard to stop asylum seekers getting into the UK.

With thousands queuing at Dover for yet another day, perhaps taking a closer look at how they've made it impossible for their own citizens to get into France might yield some useful tips...?
