 Posted by: raypaterson, Glasgow on 1:31pm Mon 4 Feb 08 Posted by: raypaterson, Glasgow on 1:47pm Mon 4 Feb 08 I see my comment has been removed. It seems that if you disagree with the teacher in the article, there is no point in posting comments. Why bother giving the option? Posted by: Maryhill Bill, Wyndford on 5:15pm Mon 4 Feb 08 Where else are we supposed to put failed asylum seekers, Linda? No doubt you would prefer if they were put up in the Hilton, while the rest of us are given run down, damp council houses. Posted by: anni, London on 6:20pm Mon 4 Feb 08 I am afraid I dont agree with the teacher either for a number of reasons, one being that Linda, I or anyone else would not be allowed to go into their countries and live of the state, be housed and be able to apply to university and have the government pay for it. I was at uni in London with a girl who came to the UK for refuge and she was able to get a student loan, her fees paid, and for a while housing benefit, help with her council tax and support for her child to attend a crech. Where is the sense in this? Linda if ur reading this then I suggest u should get some cash, take out a loan or something and jet them them all back home and argue their rights for them in their own countr and give us a break as we are out of enough cash. Wake up or shut up Linda.

I disagree with them being locked up,they should be sent back to where they lived immediately after their application was refused ... Posted by: Bear, Glasgow on 7:36pm Mon 4 Feb 08 I think detention centres shud stay as far as i know these people are ment to stop at first safe country not keep going to get here we are to soft maybe if they knew they wud be held in detention centers they may think twice bout coming here. Posted by: Cwalker, glasgow on 9:33pm Mon 4 Feb 08 here here, .. everyone that replied here.... if the teacher wants someone to feel sorry for she ought to look closer to home.... put her energies into helping her own community out.. we need more detention centers to cope as obviously we are hard pushed to cope with the sending back phase of the failed asylum seekers...

Posted by: Michael Woods, Drumchapel on 3:12pm Wed 5 Mar 08 First off the reason we are such a wealthy nation is that we did go, uninvited, to these peoples countries and pillaged them.
Secondly we are so wealthy we can easily afford to look after our own AND the incomers, easily. The government assertion that we do not have the funds to do both is a bare faced lie, if it were true would they not be taxing the many many very wealthy people who make vast sums here but are domiciled in e.g. Monaco. The spare periscope for a trident submarine costs >£25,000,000 and does no good whatsoever but I don't hear people moaning on this blog that we should be charitable to our own poor before being charitable to the manufacturers of weaponry. |    |
