Yesterday's Briefing: tldrnews.co.uk/tldr-uk/120820/
With footage of asylum seekers and migrants crossing the channel to get to Britain, some are beginning to question why they're making the trip at all. I mean, they've already made it to Western Europe, why then risk your life in a dinghy to attempt to get into Britain? In this video, we explain some of their motivation and if there truly are a lot of migrants trying to get into the UK.

£2b per year to keep them in hotels while we have people sleeping in shop doorways, in damp mouldy housing, depending on food banks . We have elderly people wrapped in blankets because they can’t afford to heat their homes. We need a political party with a backbone to act on the will of the tax payer.
@petergaskin1811 9 ай бұрын
Never forgetting that immigrants to this country pay a larger amount of tax per capita (on average) than ordinary British Citizens. The keeping of Asylum Seekers in hotels is as a direct result of the Tory Government stripping the Asylum System bare of staff over the last 13 years so increasing the "backlog from 18,500-odd in 2010 to 175,000 today. So what you meant to say is - "We need a political Party with the backbone to do the jobs we pay them to do".

What I don't like is being propositioned by men using broken English almost every day on my way home from work in Central London. Men coming here from other countries seem to think it's okay to ask a lone woman, "You want to party? I have money." Because they get away with doing it in their own countries. It's very intimidating. I usually tell them they are lucky I am not a police officer because they would be arrested for soliciting and deported. They soon run away very quickly, especially when they hear a siren.
@patrickmurphy3179 Жыл бұрын

@@janedoh123 I agree. It's a very pervasive myth in those countries that women living in UK, Europe, US, etc are easy targets or they have no morals because of how they dress. We need to do a better job of tackling these myths. Just because a woman decides to wear a dress instead of what's considered acceptable in those countries, doesn't mean she's always looking for a romantic relationship with some random guy.

The marshalls were Africans employed from an agency , picked up from 3am. They werent told anything basicly about what they were supposed to do. They were given extra food during their 15 hour shift by election workers . Their English was minimal. If our local government is flouting labour laws to employ people then what hope is there?

The modern western world is literally built on, having more individual freedoms, generally better qualities of government, better economies and a certain level of safety net that stops massive amounts of suffering. And yet we get surprised that people will do anything to come. Our culture is literally built on, “hey how good are we, you would be lucky to live here because we do things the right way”. Surprise surprise, people want to come. We also have several hundred years of instances where we purposely destabilise other parts of the world so we can take advantage, making other places worse places to live, again, surprise surprise, they want to come. When animals migrate, they go to where opportunities food and safety is plentiful, they don’t stay in the one place based on principle.

Demographics my friends will be England's curse or its blessing. The 'white' Anglo Saxon is in rapid decline due to migration to warmer climes and baby boomers retiring in their millions. Due to financial constraints on family budgets less babies are being born plus there is a decline in sperm count.. For Great Britain to survive and have a vibrant economy immigration is vital. Without the workforce to pay taxes everything will literally fall apart..So those of you who reject foreigners for whatever personal reason, you should seriously have a rethink.

Having 'fostered' around twenty Unaccompanied Asylum Seekers I can tell you that only one had any command of English, none had family here and only two showed genuine signs of trauma as cause for travelling. All but one of the genuine trauma cases lied about their age, some claiming sixteen when clearly in their middle to late twenties. All sought branded clothing, high-end mobiles and some even demanded the free house to which they believed they were entitled. Of those we have helped only one, in our judgement, showed signs of relief at his escape and gratitude toward this country for its help. The Home Office report is deceitful and the Huffington Post is hardly a publication of impartial views. Not one of the twenty odd we have helped came from a region with a colonial connection with the UK. As we went into fostering to help kids in trouble, we feel our good nature has been betrayed by a corrupt system run by marxist, globalist, open-door policy, staff at the Home Office, with resigned compliance from Social Services, some of whom are equally frustrated by the fraud. Pritti Patel needs to kick these people out root and branch.

The title of the video relates to 'migrants', the first thing you do is draw a (correct) distinction between economic migrants and asylum-seekers, but you then spend the entire rest of the video talking ONLY about asylum-seekers as if they're the entirety of the problem. Now do another video looking at the economic migrants issue, and don't forget to look at how many people who are really economic migrants _pretend_ to be refugees because it increases their chances of being allowed to stay by exploiting the asylum process. A lot of Brit's concern isn't motivated by lack of concern for genuine refugees; it's motivated by concern that the asylum system is being exploited by people who don't deserve refugee status. (Edited for clarity)

As a European living in the UK l can tell you why very easily. I was shocked about how messy the UK state is. There is no population control, no IDs, no proper records - you guys have no clue who lives in your country. It is very easy to be in the UK illegally because nobody checks anything and there is no easy way of checking. And it's not only about immigration. There is no real police presence in the UK - anti social behaviour and theft are rife and nobody does anything about it and law is not enforced. Just to give tou an example - in Europe, l can call the cops when my neighbour is noisy and they sort him out in minutes. In the UK drugs were sold under my balcony and the police never came even if l called. When my South American colleague didn't renew his visa, the police picked him up from the workplace on the day after it expired and deported him because they monitor it. In the UK it's just shambles and nothing seems to work..

It is odd in a video titled "Why do migrants want to come to the UK?..." that migrants are then discounted and you focus on asylum seekers. There are regrettably groups that will rent out the labour of migrants who do not have the right to work or live in the UK and will profit off this work while their "employees" earn below the minimum wage and live in horrible conditions under the radar of the law. Some migrants who know their case for refugee status is weak will choose this option, others may be coerced into it. Either way, they will not submit asylum applications and so not feature in your figures. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the content you guys produce, but it doesn't seem that this video has fully assessed the issue.
@jordondraggon1459 3 жыл бұрын
I've heard of this issue and it definitely is one. There are two problems with this however, 1 is that it is very hard to gage how many illegal migrants there are for the purpose of asylum, this being because they legally aren't granted rights to work in the UK and therefore have no UK form of ID, bank account as ID and proof of ability to work/be a resident in the UK is needed etc. Making it hard for policing on this specific issue as there is little information outside of tip offs that can help police track and measure this issue. 2, is that because of number 1, it is very hard to know the actual size of this problem. This being because without being able to have a bank account, ability to buy/rent a property and other benefits of having a bank account, it is very difficult for a migrant to feasibly live in the UK and function as a normal individual would. This isn't to say that this group is low, but there is reason to suggest it. Also it doesn't help that there is no accurate way for lack of data, to monitor how big or small this problem is and how many people fall into this group, it could be very large and equally could be very small.

If some one is granted asylum, this is not an automatic right to stay permanently in the UK. There application will be reviewed every 5 years, if their country is deemed to now be safe they will be returned, or should I say SHOULD be returned. But our border agancy is so unfunded they in all likelyhood get lost in the system, and as we don't have a robust ID system in the UK they just disappear. There are thousands more people living in the UK who came here perfectly legally, but just never went home when their visas ran out.

Whilst a member of the EU, politicians often referred to "what other EU countries did and how they were so successful".......Why didn't those same politicians ensure we ran our country on similar, well managed, strict lines. eg The healthcare system in France is very good. Everyone pays into it and benefits FAIRLY. If you don't pay you don't get. I asked my daughter why we haven't / didn't adopt a similar system here. She said "the British Government felt it would take too long to implement". (how long is 'too long' ? ) I responded " It would be a once and for all cost. It didn't happen.

You didn't mention an important part for regular migrants: They also want to come because the UK doesn't require you to register yourself at the local council in order to be able to do nearly anything, like most EU nations do. This makes it very easy to work in the UK illegally (because entering legally is not an option for everyone).

Presumably if you are in a boat in the Channel and get picked up by the coast guard/border force you can't just disappear? I would hope that they are all basically forced to enter the asylum system or be deported immediately? Or am I missing something? I guess if you are smuggled on a truck then it's a different story.

I guess there is the fear that it would significantly increase the number of so called "living standard refugees" going to UK. People who don't actually need a refuge but just want better life for themselves which makes it more difficult to help the people who need more help and actually have had to leave their homes for the fear of their lives.

We always hear the stories about the poor and oppressed. These I have sympathy with. Just wonder how many get off a plane in Paris dump their passport and claim asylum.. Looking at many of the images they don't look poorly fed or clothed. I saw one boatload all wearing brand new £150 self inflating life jackets. This looks like a set up, No self respecting crime lord would shell out for stuff like that. So the question Who is paying and why?

You did not cover the fact that there is no deportation in the UK so it is irrelevant if they are refused asylum, the UK is a safe bet especially for immigrants that have been refused asylum in other countries even foreign nationals who are convicted of crimes are not deported.
@earx23 2 жыл бұрын
Valid point. However, many other EU countries can't do anything about migrants that throw away their passport and become stateless. There are UN laws that prohibit deportation of stateless people, and grant them all kinds of rights such as naturalization. Which is of course completely utopian and impractical. Government should recognize people by their language, accent, religion, etc and then just deport them if originating from a safe country.

@@spencerwilton5831 Those are right-wing lies designed to pick the wrong target for your anger. The reason why the housing market has gone mad is because within 10 years of Tory Austerity not a single council house has been build by them. Why? Well they are the owner of property and they are the landlords taking your rents. They want neither cheap alternatives, nor reduced real estate prices nor reduced rents. So instead of 10.000 houses per year, they build only a handful and in some years even none. And wages: Yes they pay the immigrants often even less, but they are actually breaking the law with it. And the poor soul getting the job for even less than minimum work under slave conditions. And they make you pick on them, so you a) Do not start to target the government and decide to give someone actually want to improve you life your vote (Labour) b) Do not start to target your bosses paying you and the other poor soul less than minimum wage (and the government helping them even) c) That you do not join together in Trade Unions making them pay what they are due They have you exactly where they want you. Enslaved to their rent, their real estate prices making it impossible to get your own, their control of the real estate market and prices and their standard of living on your poverty. And you picking on the poor soul besides you getting even worse conditions than you get.

Interesting points raised, as usual but it feels a bit disjointed compared to other TLDR posts. After establishing a clear difference between Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Migrants, TLDR then go on the only use data for Asylum seekers whilst interchanging the terms throughout which may just be semantics but equally, having taken the trouble to establish the difference, consistently using the stated definitions would make it clearer. Also the title should, based on the content, be "Why do Asylum seekers want to come to the UK". It would be interesting, if any meaningful data exists, to see a similar video around migrants, which is where I perceive the Farages of this world tend to get a bit over excitable. One issue I would have like to have seen at least acknowledged if not addressed here is illegal arrival modes clearly chosen to circumvent formal immigration processes and as such prevent an immediate opportunity to seek refuge or asylum. Circumventing immigration surely ultimately cannot help the individual? The only people really benefiting from the current situation being being criminal gangs facilitating such crossings to make cash from misery. Perhaps that's a much bigger subject and would be hard to put together a meaningful piece due to limited reliable data, I have no idea.

There are 2 legal routes to migration, you can be a politician & use Diplomatic Immunity or you can put enough money in your bank to support yourself for a year, put a similar amount into the NHS, get a very well-paid job here & then buy a visa. That's it. No other legal routes. You can only claim asylum in person in this country which, by definition, means you _have_ to enter illegally to claim asylum.

The problem here is that for example asylum seekers from Syria were kicked out methodically in order to change demographics to be more aliened with the ruling minority alawite so you have refuges/asylum seekers that when accepting them allows the crime to continue unabated. Instead of the world taking military action to topple the Syrian regime it assists it in changing demographics of it's own country in a geocidal manner. The problem is not the refugees it is Assad.
@godfriedmontana2705 3 жыл бұрын
The problem is not so much asylum seekers as the mass economic immigration unleashed by Tony Blair (have 500K vacancies/need immigrants) and acquiesced in by the Tories (immigrants = cheap labour). The result was net immigration of 5 million since 2004 when Blair made his claim which as we know was false since by 2019 the number of vacancies was 850K (as standard economic theory would predict). Those 5 million are the main reason why half of voters voted for Brexit and the reason why those same voters are no longer willing to distinguish between economic migrants and asylum seekers. Without those 5 million the asylum seekers who make it to the UK would be a minor issue.
