The UK’s broken asylum system

I have Liked this so as to join your imaginary clique.

My "like" confirms your membership. Welcome aboard.

It's cute when folk get het up about who likes a post, then deny that they care about likes. Even better when they create an imaginary clique of users based on who likes what.

I 'cooled' it so can I get an upgraded membership please??

Of course. With a gold badge and everything!

I'm not a member of a clique and am very particular about where I bestow my likes.

None of you lot deserve any.

Lovely 😊 and a sticker for my star sheet too!! 💫

I was thinking on my just returned from travels about how it can feel.to be 'insecurely housed' not being able to rely on the basics of survival being available..

No real comparison here of course because what I do is totally my free choice (and ultimately easily escaped from) but often I'll turn up in a place with no certainty if I'll find a good spot to put up a tent, a reliable water source and so on.

Imagine that kind of stress, on a human, but day in day day out if you're a refugee escaping from a place with barely if any support.

I also 'ooops' forgot to take my passport, so had to sweet talk an ID inspector here and their and proffer a bad photo of it instead..

Of course with my slightly scruffy middle-aged cyclist white woman presentation , who also sounds a bit 'rp' I didn't really have much bother, i could just 'wing it'..

But would I have been so confident if I didn't look and sound like I do ?? 🤔

Sorry Rusty but we'll have to put you in the box with Bolders who also has to remind us quite regularly that he is 'not a member of a clique*' 🙄

*The boys club - freely entered into at birth doesn't count - of course

Then we'll form a "not a member of a clique" clique.

We will not be bullied.

I would not wish to be a member of a clique which you are a member of

No offence

Since that sentiment is part of my profile, I think, constantly is possibly the word you are searching for.

Well it would be 'constantly' if you were on here 24/7 on every page of every thread.

But perhaps I can speak to the collective relief of all assembled, that in reality, it's only 'regularly' 🙏🏼

You don't get to choose the clique...it chooses you.

Couple of pages of inter-personal claptrap, but no answer to the fundamental question.

Were either of these women badly treated by the asylum system?

The answer, of course, is 'no', but it's an answer none of you government haters can bear.

I've also asked for some stories of people who have been genuinely badly treated.

Once again, no replies.

Instead of blindly following anti-government prejudice, posters on this thread need to try looking at the facts.

The sense of entitlement is quite something. As if every one of Pallid Rinder's demands requires immediate attention, when the reality is he's just a redundant fool, sat in the corner, smelling of boiled cabbage and wee.

Sums up the quality of responses nicely.

Come on fool, let's have some proof the asylum system is as bad as you say it is.

The others have done a p*ss poor job, so it needs someone of your undoubted calibre to ride to the rescue.

One of them, the one now given leave to remain, was seeking Asylum.

Are you sure there was a second?

I've seen nothing to tell us much of the circumstances of the Mother of the 5yo who was told to travel to Nigeria.

Have I missed something?
