Quote Stirlingsays at 27 Jul 2015 12.52pm There were benefits and disadvantages to colonial rule. They were 'crimes of their times' and revisionism that includes taking responsibility for national actions of centuries ago seems a little pointless to me. Other than that,as was the point of my post we are not simply talking "centuries ago" but until the recent past,within living memory...

Simple solution: EU wide asylum policy. Regardless of where you enter the EU, you go into a pot and are allocated to whichever country is next in line (so if you apply in England or in Germany, your application is processed in the same way and if successful you are allocated to individual countries of the EU based on rules). Asylum seekers can register a preference which can be taken into account where possible. That way: 1. There would be no reason to risk your life to get to a preferential location (as it will make no difference to where you end up) 2. The burden would be spread more evenly across the EU (we're not really pulling our weight as it is) 3. The EU as a whole makes the decision on whether yours is a genuine claim, so there's no difference between policies. Just a thought

Quote reborn at 27 Jul 2015 12.15pm Wow, going by some of the posters on here the country is already fcked. Frankly I am glad to live somewhere so safe and prosperous (relatively), that people will endure hell and risk death just to reach it. Maybe some of you should think about that next time you are sharpening your bayonets for the filthy hordes at the gates. You are just no fun any more. Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Just a thought Interesting ideas but how would you ensure that those with skills were not cherry picked, or families and aged applicants most likely to rack up medical and benefits bills were not offloaded in favour of young able bodied people? Would you trust the receiving country to manage the system in a neutral way? Also, once they are accepted into any one EU country what is to stop them moving to another one under free movement? It would only be a temporary delay until they got to their preferred country anyway. Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial

It would only be a temporary delay until they got to their preferred country anyway. First one is probably a good thing - by all means cherry-pick as payment for doing the processing (might even change some attitudes and get countries encouraging seekers to register and apply rather than accidentally stationing them right next to major border crossings and ignoring them in the hope they literally go away). Second one is true, but is that not the case already? Could someone apply for asylum in, say, France and then be free to cross legitimately to the UK?

Let's be honest, it makes us less attractive as a destination if, on application, they are just as likely to end up in Athens as London. Also France would have nothing to gain by letting them set up camp and attempt to cross the border if they may very well get them back anyway.
