What that fool fails to recognise is that Britain has
HALF the immigration rate that Australia does.

We are also far from the most popular destination in the EU. In 2104, we
were the sixth most popular choice, with the number of asylum seekers being:

asylum seekers aren;lt teh same as immigrants wanting to come to the UK or anywhere else. They are TWO differnt sets.



Germany 202,645
Sweden 81,180
Italy 64,625
France 62,735
Hungary 42,775
UK 31,745

As for the crisis in the Mediterranean, unless the others are taking a
very strange route into the EU, Libya is likely to be the embarkation
point for only a couple of the five most common places of origin for
asylum seekers in the UK. For 2014, the figures we

Pakistan 3,990
Eritrea 3,280
Iran 2,500
Syria 2,410
Albania 1,890
Others 17,675

Syrians mostly want to go to Germany (41,100 applicants in 2014) and
Sweden (30,750).
