Seeking asylum from Canada

[AtW]

Asylum is for people who are in desperate straits, whose lives are in imminent danger.

Not for people to be swanning around the world picking which country they'd like to live in.

Yes I agree.

Would it have altered your opinion if the asylum seekers were not from Russia but from, say, Somalia ?

I would not have altered my view on this one, no - nationality is irrelevant when family makes such decision to kill themselves by jumping down from tower block and take their son with them.

Note here - I am not saying UK is guilty of not giving them asylum, what I am saying is that in such tragic circumstances trying to act like a **** ministrone is very unBritish in my view, frankly it is inhuman.

I think weve just saved the government a bit of money in repatriation costs.

This attitude may case a bit of money but cost a lot in humanity.

If Govt wanted to save a LOT of money it would make lots of healthy young men on the dole actually WORK for their money.

Most Asylum seekers are just economic migrants who see the grass is greener ....... Fact.

Do not try to deviate the topic here. The topic on the table is why asylum seekers chose to come to UK when they were granted asylum in Canada. The fact that they have killed themselves is irrelevant to this discussion.

It is fact. Look at the numbers who dont get granted asylum .........

But I spose you can back YOUR argument up cant you?

As you said they are dead and that precludes me from being inhuman in the circumstances.
