I know Ive been quite vocal on this issue. Found this today on the BBC web site.
Wondering how accurate you think it is??

What few people seem to accept is (particularly) England's chronic over population.
Yes, yes, yes - our population may be decreasing on the periphery but at approximately 300 people/sq.mile, compared to about 100 in France and Germany - the graph depicting our share versus particularly these other two nations is just crazy.
You can hardly MOVE any more in this country - just go anywhere, anytime - everywhere's choked.
IT CAN'T GO ON!
This isn't xenaphobia but we should be encouraging people to emigrate generally, NOT immigrate!
Incredibly, I don't include a fair and sensible quota of GENUINE refugees in that, not at all. It must be unimaginable for some of these poor sods from the Balkans, for instance.
But come on, the economic migrancy tied up in all that has got to be one of the biggest piss takes (in principle rather than pure magnitude) ever perpetrated against our national finances.
Yup, it all comes down to two things: (1) let's have far more effective screening & (2) distribute the seekers more evenly around the EC based on existing population densities.
Like the SR3, something Radical is needed to solve this one! (Urgh - apologies!)

Makes you wonder why Italy is so unattractive to asylum seekers.
How do asylum seekers contribute to the economy, whilst they are asylum seeker they are prohibited from working, if they are granted asylum and can work then surley they should not be classed as seekers any more. Could it be the government admitting that there is a £2.9 billion black economy.
Does anyone know if the 100,000+ asylum seekers is the total number of asylum seekers or the usual head of family numbers often quoted. If it is the head of family number then the true number is more likely to be betwwen 350,000 and 400,000.
The biggest problem I have with asylum seekers/ the system is that asylum should be sought in the first country they set foot after leaving their own country. This does not include walking acrosss Europe and destroying your passport in the channel tunnel. Send them back acroos the chunnel. Flying into our airport seems the only acceptable way for a refugee to claim asylum on an island.

think about this though!, we (wifey and I) as hard working indiginous couple fall on hard times, (out of work thing), no kids=no help from Gov.= homeless!
begging?
asylum seekers=given house, car driving lessons, holiday, mobile phone, £10 a week top up too!, and how can anyone be suprised why the average Briton whinges about them?

This post has aged well. Of course, the issues raised 22 years ago have all now been resolved & we live in a happy, homogenous society. 🤣🤣🤣
Mad that since 2003 we've had a major financial crash & covid, but some issues remain the same.
I only came on to search the forum for info about emmigrating to France. 😂
