Question

Asylum 'havens' considered by UK

he idea of deporting UK asylum seekers to special safe havens in the regions they left behind is being considered by ministers.

article here

Sounds like a workable solution to me. What do others think?

Sounds good, got to be more appealing than being sent to live in Stoke-On-Trent.

Actually, maybe we should go and live in these safe havens, I bet the weathers better!

Ahh, but if it were a UN led initiative it might happen.

It makes sense. The West has spent a *lot* of money making places like Afganistan, Kosovo (and soon Iraq) safe places to be, so it makes sense for people from there to be returned home.

Exclamation

You are of course assuming these individuals want to return home.

They know which side their bread's buttered. I'm not expecting a queue.

Very good idea. This government has to think about the long-term effects all this asylum seeker business has on this country.

I would pay more tax for them to implement that strategy. And they might be happier in their own country.

What are the army for nowadays but peacekeepers.

Unhappy

c'mon I'm trying to be serious here. This is one possible way that the tide could be stemmed. Something needs to change.
