Simple. We allow in only those we want: people who have something to offer or something that we need (like trick cyclists!).

What is more, we deport any immigrants who commit crimes or who are here to cause trouble.

If my words could be written into a simple charter (I suppose minus the trick cyclist bit) we'd have a workable and beneficial means of looking after this country.

We can't accommodate all of Africa and the Middle East.
As far as I'm concerned, asylum should be a temporary measure and extend only while the place of origin is a danger to its people. Even then, we should take no more than other safe countries.

As I understand it, people in danger should claim asylum in the first safe country they enter yet, strangely, they all seem to want to come to the UK for some reason.

No we cant and i dont think i was suggesting that, but we do need to offer asylum in genuine cases. We lose something of ourselves to refuse everyone.

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

I wonder how many people contacted their MPs before the vote to voice their feelings about the EU.
I often contact mine about things that I am not happy about and policies I think are unfair.
Perhaps we need to do this more often now so they know how we feel before things get so serious.

You surely don't expect your MP to have his/her constituents at the front of their mind?

We need to nag them so they don't have time to think about anything else!
