Suppose the headline is "Asylum seekers affect house prices, responsible for the murders of Diana and Maddie" Interesting question during PMQs though from Paul Flynn, the Newport MP. "Cardiff has 700, Newport has 600, Rochdale has 700 but the combined constituencies of the PM, Chancellor and Home Secretary have a grand total of 3. Is this fair and reasonable way to treat asylum seekers?" The big numbers may be mixed up and the rest is as near as I recall. but it's a revealing stat I think. Andy C |

Harry says it as it is, dreamboats live in their own little bubble. |

No it does not with the ones that show up from France etc. Not too many asylum seekers from Scotland or Wales or Ireland. |

Unlikely, all of Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Syria, most of Africa would have happened even if the west had ignored those completely. |

I don't think even Tony Blair managed to attack either of those. -- Colin Bignell |

That might've changed in the last few years, but for 2011, 2012 and H1 2013, it was Pakistan then Iran then Sri Lanka - with Eritrea last in the top ten. Pakistan was a long way down the list of nationalities granted asylum, though... Iran - Syria - Eritrea - Sudan. http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/assets/0002/7887/ Asylum_Statistics_May_2013.pdf |

None of those were attacked by Britain either and conflicts in those weren't supported by Britain either. http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/ass...s_May_2013.pdf |

Like I said - they may have changed between those 2011/12/13H1 figures I found. |
