If everyone isn't applying the law , it isn't properly supported by the public, and authorities turn a blind eye and ignore that it's not being applied, the law's not fine.

I don't think that everyone is not applying the law 2. The public aren't given the full facts with which to make a reasoned judgement (deliberately imho). The Daily Mail opposed the UK govt allowing Jewish refugees into the country in the 1930s. 3. There is a law against burglary which due to lack of resources, the police do not always enforce/ even investigate. It doesn't mean burglary is ok, it means that the law is not being enforced properly. 4. Even with all it's failures, millions of people are escaping war/ torture/ genocide as a result of the refugee law and convention - but you seem to want to stop this. 🤯 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a result, we have people choosing desitinations and purposefully destroying any documentation as to who they really are because they're abusing the system. Even the guy whose daughter drowned in the channel the other day told the world he'd been denied asylum in Belgium so was crossing to have another go in the UK This law isn't fine; this is law which is open to abuse which is being abused, which is resulting in it being ignored more and more.
