Wether it shouldn't or shouldn't is immaterial to this conversation. To follow both UK and international law all these asylum claims need to be processed.
If showing up on a boat disqualified you, the Tories would be chomping at the bit to process them and turf them.
The things your saying all sound lovely and in a perfect world of it was like that we might agree that it was better.
There's no point carrying on this conversation if you're going to continue to claim that people arriving on small boats and other irregular means are illegal
It's not ethically right. Sure they should be processed, but that processing shouldn't take very long considering they just came from France.
I assume when you say "it's not ethically right" that the unwritten text there was "but yes, it is legally right". Could you just confirm?
Upskirting was legally right until they changed that.
No it wasn't you moron, it just didn't have specific legislation... It was still a number of different crimes.
Regardless I don't understand what you're arguing. If you want to argue that the UN convention on the rights of refugees is ethically wrong and therefore the law needs to be changed that's fine and dandy. What's it got to do with the price of fish though
So why did the Tories spend 15 years not processing them if it would have been quick and easy? Is it because coming from France doesn't make their claims invalid? And that's just something that you'd personally like to be true and has absolutely no bearing on this discussion whatsoever?
