Failed asylum seekers & Legal aid financial limits

[slim]

It seems that as soon as an asylum seekers case is rejected an appeal is lodged. The appeal lawyer is paid for by you the taxpayer. Surely the legal aid bill for this should be capped, after all his/her case has been heard by trained government officials. If I as a British citizen attempted to claim asylum in a non european country and had my claim rejected I would be placed on the next flight back to where I came from. I certainly would not be granted legal aid. Human rights lawyers are making an extremely good living from this situation.

The hell with capping it, bin it!

It should be equal for everyone if we're paying. Maybe we can work a similar system as student loans. You have to repay all or a fair percentage of it, regardless of the outcome. If you win, any compo could cover it (Judiciary could factor this in to the final tally) and if you lose - you're obviously a lying sod who deserves to have to repay it.

Heartless, ain't I. Feeling a little opinionated tonight. Maybe should log out and get a cuppa.

Ah hell, standing by for incoming - now where's me tin hat?

If you ever experience in this country what many asylum seekers have gone through in the countries they come from Slim, I sincerely hope you get it.

I have travelled the globe for many years visiting numerous countries many of which are not too pleasant to live in. While there are some genuine asylum seekers the majority are simply after a better lifestyle. These are weeded out by government officials paid to investigate each case thoroughly. If they fail then they should be immediately returned to country of origin. Its because of the dogooders that the country cannot return scum like the hook.
Genuine asylum seekers do not need to appeal

Cant see why they should be entitled to it in the first place.Its not like they have paid anything into the pot to start with.

When a case is rejected, there should be no appeal.

Just a ticket back to whence they came!

I really do wish I had your faith in the accuracy of our governemnt departments. You are talking about the Home Office which the present secretary of state claimed was unfit for purpose. Prove to me that they really do get it right first time and that officials are not selling permits to stay for sex etc, and I might agree with you.

If they do get a permit because they have donated sex to the official then at least they have put somethin into the country

not to mention AIDS or some other STD!

I think your phrasing leaves something to be desired here - they've given something to the country rather than put something in - it could be better argued that a representative of the country has put something into them!
