Seeking asylum from Canada

[minestrone]

It's not given the situation - whole family decided to fking kill themselves, why do you care why they were refused asylum in canada? For all we know the reason could have been that they travelled through Europe (possibly UK) and did not claim asylum here - given tragic circumstances it is totally irrelevant.

They were granted asylum in Canada then they decided to leave and try for it here, if they were deported they were going to be sent back to Canada.

Now Canada may have it's faults but killing yourself and your family rather than get sent there is clearly a sign of mental illness. They should have been sent back the minute they approached for asylum here.

And all mentally sick people should be killed in your view then?

FFS, even if parents were mentally sick or wrong this in no way makes it less tragic as they took their son with them!

Where did I say that sick people should be put down?

I did however say that they should have been booted out straight away for the stupidity of claiming asylum from a country that has the same monarch as us.

I am also going to say that they got into serious trouble in Canada and that is why they are here now.

They are not here now - they are dead.

I'm struggling to think of a valid asylum claim from a Russian citizen.

The reason it took three years to decide this is the huge amount of asylum claims the UK receive, which mystifies me, as the Rules of Asylum say you must claim it in the first safe country you land in. which seems to be the UK for some reason!

Why?

Why?

Now you are here I would have though they would have all wanted to go back.

Go back to Russia?

Maybe you should have been born and lived there until you die (which would not take too long).

Why?

The facts of the matter are they were granted Asylum in Canada, then apparently they played up over there, got into trouble and came over here.

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.

I never get how these people can always seem to afford the thousands it cost to get themselves over here if they are in such a desperate situation.

Personally I have no sympathy. They had their chance for salvation in Canada, but blew it. Seems to me like permanent trouble makers. I think weve just saved the government a bit of money in repatriation costs.

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