The right to seek asylum is a legal right we all share. It isn't illegal to seek asylum, because seeking asylum is a legal process”

No it isnt illegal to seek asylum.

But the getting here first and then doing it, is illegal.
They are entering illegally.

I do not know much about the International law on this subject.
I am hoping others do.

Or is it all a matter of Uk political will?
Uk laws need to be changed?
They cant all be tied up to International law.

In the past you could go into a UK embassy and claim asylum but this has been stopped. So it’s our own making

I feel we have just had this "discussion" on another thread.

People being called "illegals" there too..
Horrid.

Yes, I'd thought of that too, petra not everyone has papers and throws them away.
