Popular Post The Cyclist Posted December 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2023 Seen it reported a couple of days ago. Names taken, asylum application ripped up, stuck on a no-fly to UK list and barred from the UK for life. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grain Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Happens all the time in Australia, they plead for their safety, can't be returned to their countries of origin because they'll be persecuted and killed, then as soon as they get Aussie citizenship and PPs they're flying back home to visit their relis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldgit Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 The officer being interviewed actually stated that Asylum Seekers were being prevented from leaving the country whilst their asylum claim was still active. I understand that if they did actually leave the UK then their claim was withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought those on here who are anti asylum seekers would prefer they weren't stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Same self destructive handling of the "refugees"/"asylum seekers" in so many countries. Let them fly one way with a nice deported stamp (make sure having biometrics done). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot envisage why he, or anyone else in Border Force, would wish to stop an asylum claimant returning to their home country. Such a trip to their home country would surely be grounds for refusing entry if they were to return by legal means. If they were to return by illegal means such as on a small boat or by clandestine entry the fact they made a trip back to their home country would undermine any renewed claim for asylum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Douglas is actually the DG of the Border Force, so a tad senior than a Senior Officer (CIO old speak) But yes if anyone seeking asylum left the UK before a decision was made on their application, then they should forfeit their application. Mr Douglas didn’t explain how they would be able to board a flight back to the UK, as far as I’m aware the UKBA don’t issue re-entry permits.
