If they fail to meet the criteria then they should be sent back. Plain and simple, no point setting dubious precedents by changing the rules now. Off you go and bonne chance!!

No idea mate. No doubt 90% of those let in should not be and 90% of those turned away should have been let in.
That's how most government depts work.Comment

We should not send them back to be murdered.
If they are anything like the only Zimbabwean I knew, we should do it ourselves and save the cost of the air fare.Comment

Is that what the headline in the mail was about today (glanced at it as I was buying a sarnie for lunch).
Its seems one minute the papers are screaming that too many people are coming in, then as soon as we start sending them back they screm and shout because they weren't let in.
Bloody papers.....Comment

Re: He's giving in already......
I believe the government's method for guaranteeing the security of asylum seekers who are sent back is to ask Mugabe's government if they are in danger. So far HMG has not been able to establish any case of an asylum seeker sent back who has come to harm, so obviously the system is working.
Only this morning I heard a Zimbabwe government man explaining to the BBC (not in Zim of course) that they were not destroying houses in Zimbabwe and making tens of thousand of people homeless. "Please do not call these homes", he said, "they are not houses, they are illegal structures".
AOK then, send them back.....Comment

Just a thought...
If all the opponents of a brutal regime are given asylum overseas how will the regime ever be toppled?Comment
