Date: 2004-09-16 10:39 am (UTC)I am determined not to let this degenerate into a flame war but your post is reasoned and interesting - wrong, but interesting :) - so I will respond in brief. I actually agree with you *in theory* that it is better to treat "the problem of Africa/Kosovo/China/wherever" at source rather than give a hand up to a few escapees. If and when this starts happening the question of what if any asylum should be provided by the UK may be worth revisiting but I am not holding my breath, and in the meantime I will continue to attempt to counter right wing media fuelled xenophobia and ill informed argument based on what the public seems to want with facts and contrary opinions no matter how unpopular they are.
And I dont think you have really engaged with the issue of sending people back to the atrocities you describe as "unpleasant" because "we cant afford it".
