How does that offering even remotely relate to my post you replied to?

I wonder if Warren Buffet has spotted this golden opportunity? You could make money selling such investment insights.

You didn’t spot the fact that these crooks were legally in the U.S.? Or you did and you hoped nobody else had?

Righty-o!

My goodness where to start: Netflix ‘leftist Lib woke’? Nancy Pelosi [putting aside your customary vitriol] is now an actor? ‘Borderline paedo flick Cuties’? ’I bet’? ’Another thing Netflix and the BBC have in common’?? A bag of flush face bulging vein nonsense spiced with snide innuendo. You’re on a roll Jonny.

Another who doesn’t understand the difference between a riot and an insurrection.

Nothing to do with your BLM false equivalence Jonny. Riot and insurrection are not the same thing.

let me highlight the baseless part of the accusation so you can spot it more easily:

Another baseless accusation.

No, and it doesn’t have to be, nor is there any stipulation that asylum must be sought anywhere, not the nearest country, not the first safe country. However, asylum seekers arriving in the U.S. and UK is a bit of a regular topic on this forum.

Yes I thought it was the left giving Uganda a free pass on homophobia? Have you asked the individuals, the Ugandan Government, the Scottish Government? Or is this just some random brain dump? No. Already explained, they have the right to apply for asylum. It’s a right written in law. Again no, they have a right to apply for asylum, it’s a right written in law.

In my view they have the right to seek asylum in any nation that is a signatory to the international refugee conventions. There is no obligation to seek asylum in first safe country/nearest country any country other than the UK/US. Cutting aid cuts funding to the poorest and most vulnerable. Noice idea!

It doesn’t.

Or they can just cross the border, store on a ship, arrive on a tourist visa, student visa, business visa. They only need arrive and then state they are seeking asylum. Refer OP at top of thread for an explanation of reasons they might do so.

Anyone that arrives from Uganda claiming to be persecuted for being gay has a right to apply for asylum and the right for that application to be given consideration under the asylum laws. ‘Claiming to be gay’ is only part of that process. I don’t know why you make the statement “(per the left's definition)” it seems a baseless assumption on your part, my guess is it is exactly that. I don’t know on what legal basis the U.S. could send any asylum seeker to Scotland, perhaps you do, but I doubt it. Scotland is part of the UK.

Unfortunately for your argument the international conventions the UK and US signed and UK and US law permit an application for asylum regardless of where the applicant arrived from and by whatever means they arrived.

More unsubstantiated conspiracy hogwash. Immigrant non citizens don’t have a vote. You know this. Oh and thanks for providing an example to disprove Jonny’s claim that the left give Uganda a free pass. A claim I suspected to be a rightwing accusation confession thing. You brought home the bacon on that one.

No not at all. This news report clearly states the jeopardy LGBTQ individuals in Uganda face. If one such individual arrives in or is already in the UK or US and seeks asylum on the basis of the treatment they face in Uganda under these laws do you support their right to asylum. Yes or no?

Whataboutary isn’t going to help you out .

It’s a ‘I haven’t got a clue what your meaningless post was even trying to say’. It seems you don’t either.

I wonder if those amongst us currently doing their feeble best to twist this news into a stick to bash the political left, will accept the dreadful consequences of Uganda’s anti gay laws on the LGBTQ individuals in Uganda and therefore support the right of Ugandan LGBTQ individuals to seek asylum in the countries were they themselves come from, chiefly the UK and US?

Here it is again. You said it, you presumably thought it meant something. Have another go at explaining exactly what this abuse of the English language was meant to say:

Does that make any sense?

You haven’t provided any examples to back your claim that anyone in the left give Uganda a free pass. Let alone any indication of what constitutes ‘places like Uganda’.
