    I’m actually really impressed with Mahmood

    This a good move, there’s no reason we should be paying for them to stay here while they appeal.

  2. If asylum and irregular migration processing had kept up with demand there would be no need for this. It would be accepted practice.

  3. To find out the results of your asylum claim you should have to attend a room at Heathrow airport. If you’re approved you stay. If you aren’t you are put on a plane. 

  4. I’m pretty left wing, but I think this is just common sense. No idea why it isn’t already standard practice.

    Why not make it so that any human rights claim must be lodged before exhaustion of asylum claim and the appellate process.

  6. If your asylum case has failed, you have no right to be here. If you have committed a serious crime, you have forfeited your right to be here.

    They should only be allowed to appeal at their cost form outside the country. If at all.

  8. Getting rid of appeals is mistake. There’s definitely going to be innocent people caught out by this with amount of times home office has tried to deport lgbt people who are in queer relationships and in danger for bullshit reasons in first case. We should fund courts and legal system better so they can be reviewed and heard within appropriate time

    Unless they confess to a previous child sexual abuse case in their own country which they never declared on their asylum claim. Next step, appealing against being deporting

    Appeals should only be allowed in exceptional circumstances and limited to only one appeal. Unless the claimant has new evidence that they believe has a serious impact on the initial judgement or they think there was a grievous mistake on their claim then they should not be allowed to appeal the decision. Too many appeals are just attempts to delay the inevitable and that needs to be stamped out. We need to show that we have an asylum system, that it is fair, but that it is not an easy ticket to get right to remain in the UK. We need to do something to stop the system being abused and this goes partly towards that.
