Whether UK is the first country they landed or not is secondary consideration - you should also consider that asylum applications can be made in embassies, you don't need to travel.

Originally posted by AtW View PostUK has got obligation to follow asylum laws that are pretty much universal. Historically UK was a safe harbour to those fleeing persecution - top applications actually come from countries that were meddled by UK to a substantial degree: Iraq, Afganistan.
I've now read up more on this case and it seems there is a reason why they decided to leave Canada - they would not get citizenship there because it is apparently Canadian common practice not to give it to ex-KGB officers. If I was in this position I'd certainly move to another country - UK is perfect from this point of view.

Now as these citizens need a visa to land here by air, which they won't get, they must come by truck, and pass through God knows how many safe countries. So to me it's logical the UK should have very few asylum claims.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostI have now decided to believe everything that asylum seekers say, I mean why would they tell anyone lies?
And the system will run much better if we believe everything they say and assume they would not be a potential problem living in the UK. Let them all stay I say.
Spain tried an amnesty for illegals and regretted it, resulted in even more trying to get in...

Originally posted by lilelvis2000 View PostI wouldn't go that far. Of course I don't know if they were in treatment or not, surely they should have been if they were not.

(Assuming you're still on about the 3 who chucked themselves out of the tower block. I haven't bothered reading all the thread.)

Sounds like another Litvinyenko case, did they fall or were they pushed?
Both men KGB/FSB, both men spouting wild claims about Russian government.

Originally posted by lilelvis2000 View PostStephen Harper may be a man of minimal personality - some people call him a jackass for perouging(sp?) parliament not once but three times in three years. But I can't imagine him damaging property by pumping radiation in to it. "Trouble" when you read the BBC page could mean criminal trouble - but it didn't did it? Once again BBC coverage of Canada focuses on the negative. I was amazed they got a camera crew there for the Olympics.

Originally posted by NeverBeenNorthOfTheM25 View PostThe 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.
Originally posted by NeverBeenNorthOfTheM25 View PostPersonally 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.
They didn't blow it - unless you class being ill "blowing it". They weren't permanent trouble makers, and the fact that the mentally ill cannot be taken care of in this country is a tragedy.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostI would say that they were in serious trouble as they were getting radiation pumped into their house by the goverment to control their brain waves.
