It seems the Home Secretary (Theresa May) is trying to pose as a hardliner against immigration (maybe wants to be the next Thatcher...)

Probably someone from Britain can comment more when they wake up

Given that he sounds 3/4 dead and court orders are being ignored, I doubt he can manage. My opinion of the UK has been in free fall since the cattle-prods-for-use-on-humans exports a few years back (I can't find a good link right now), this hardly helps.

Not sure if it applies here, but the EU Charter states:

  When an individual enters the EU for the purpose of claiming asylum,
  s/he is required to claim in the first EU country that s/he seeks enters.

So probably not elsewhere in EU.

The people who get to make those descisions are the people who chase the jobs where they get to make those decisions. Now who do you suppose is the most motivated to get those jobs?
