Why are they lying about the availability of safe routes?

On BBC National NEws, this evening (18:00 14th August 2023), the Asylum Seeker they interviewed (after he was evacuated from Bibby Stockholm) said he arrived by air.

He (the Asylum Seeker) was actually a bit miffed he had been placed on the barge, because, he said, it was only for those arriving in small boats.

Yep, heard similar last week.

Interesting.

Do the same requirements apply to (say) Mexican wives going British husbands, or, German wives etc etc

Yes.

However, women from those countries are not forbidden from receiving an education and are not liable to be targeted by the Taliban and shot in the head as a teenager for promoting women’s right to schooling.

Yes, I get that the Taliban are not exactly promoters of women’s rights.

Why understate the horror of being a woman under a Taliban regime?

And if you got it, what was the point of asking about Mexicans and Germans in comparison to Afghans?

I may have understated it, but, I don’t under estimate it.

To me, there was/is an implication that one group (Afghan women) were being discriminated against by uk, but, it would appear that all are being treated equally.

And anyway, why does there need to be a language hurdle for spouses at all?

More deliberate cruelty. Compare and contrast with the language requirements for Ukrainian refugees. I wonder what the difference might be?

I took from newfhouse's post that one group of asylum seekers were being treated differently to another wrt to language skills.

I am not sure that wives from Mexico or Germany can be classed as asylum seekers.

And what’s your opinion about how fair that treatment is, with respect to Afghan women?
