I appreciate it's one graph etc. but it does shed a light on the awful rhetoric and ignorance this shambolic government trade on doesn't it?
The "take back control" lie pivoting to this dehumanising 1984 level of shrieking from Braverman and her racist rent-a-gobs is depressing too. |  |

That can't be right, certain posters on here told us that Albanians were overrunning the country.
It's almost like a few like to re-enforce their prejudices without actually checking the reality of the situation and then have a pile-on at others for pointing out the obvious deficiencies in their arguments.
The officer will be along shortly to put us straight.

Errr..
I'm not disagreeing with you about the rhetoric. But the headline for that graph says, "The UK has the lowest rates of asylum applications in Europe" and then the data sets are, "Asylum rates per 10,000 population"
That's not the same as number of asylum applications.
In 2021, The UK had 56,500 persons apply for asylum. Germany, France and Spain had more.next behind the UK was Italy with 45,000. Contrary to that graph, Cyprus has 10th most, with around 12,000.
But the language being used by govt. I agree is disgusting. Its just that graph doesn't paint a true picture. [Post edited 1 Nov 2022 21:18]

I never said it was, but this invasion doesn't really make a lot of sense does it? Rates of asylum is a pretty good indicator of all things, but especially this naked fear being whipped up. | |

Normalising by something like population is entirely acceptable and actually the right thing to do. In this case it would show that Cyprus shoulder more of the burden by population than any other country which is actually impressive given they are not as rich by GDP (another normalised measure) as the other countries in that list.
I would argue that normalising by population paints a more accurate picture than the headline numbers as absolute values.
Totally agree with your point around the rhetoric and language of this government,

You've lost me then, no one has presented this as total numbers but proportional which is far more accurate anyway.

And I completely agree. But why not call the graph, number of asylum applications proportional to population? It doesn't take much, and stops any confusion as to the motive of the graph.
What this all boils down to really, is whether or not Braverman was right to call it 'an invasion' and if not, why did she say it?
I think we all agree that the connotation and the semiotics associated with the thought of 'Invasion' is a condition of imminent threat, especially to your family, chiefly the more vulnerable members of your society.
Why say it? One reason, and one reason only to bring certain members of the population back on the side of the Conservative party. Particularly those on the right, and those in the so called 'red wall'.
Make no mistake, they've started campaigning for the next general election. | |

You've missed the point of my post but that's OK. It wasn't actually anything to do with your post earlier, although those numbers are somewhat disputed.
Either way it certainly doesn't classify as an invasion. For instance, Russia invaded the Ukraine with 200,000 men then called up another 300,000. Napoleon invaded Russia with 650,000 men, the Germans with 3,800,000 men.
This Albanian "invasion" is massive, all 12,000 of them according to your figures.

The publishers of the graph inferred it was total numbers:
"Reality check: The UK has one of the lowest rates of asylum applications in Europe."
Thats really not the same as a proportional figure that they mention in the next sentence.

Surely "by 10,000 of population" clearly means it's proportional to population?
Braverman is an imbecile. I suspect she doesn't understand the concepts behind the majority of things she says.

Sone facts: courtesy of Refugee Action
93% of the people who cross the Channel claim asylum
That means 'people seeking asylum' is the correct term for them. It is legal to arrive in this way and claim asylum, but it is dangerous. It is the lack of safe routes into the UK that drives them to dangerous ones.
Only 4% of people who arrived on small boats in 2021 have had their asylum claims processed this year.
The huge backlog in processing asylum claims is driving the overcrowding of processing centres and driving up the cost of the asylum system.
Of the claims from people arriving in 2021 that have been processed, 85% were granted protection.
That means the vast majority were found to be refugees.
Cut through the politics and a clear picture emerges. Refugees are crossing the Channel and being detained in miserable conditions, at great expense to the public, because ministers would prefer to indulge in fantasies of punishing them rather than get on with assessing their claims. |  |

Of course it makes no sense, it's righties. You know the ones who told us that after brexit we would be able to control our borders. Whereas outside of the EU there is now no mechanism for returning those on boats back to the first safe country..................there has been no attempt to check imports either, and the EU now control the border with NI and GB.
And a couple of interesting points
There was an estimated 1.3m EU workers who left the EU in the last 2 years. Deduct the numbers of those people and you will see they are a tiny proportion, if it is numbers that overexcite you. Some might also say these folk do not come anywhere near the numbers who died through Johnson's mishandling of the pandemic
"The majority of Albanian asylum seekers granted leave to remain in the UK in the past year were trafficked women"
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/braverman-asylum-seekers-albania
But trying to point out the truth to righties is like trying to teach a donkey to play chess. It is accepted that that odious poster put out by Farage warning of 79m Turks about to move to the EU was a blatant lie.
Yet, righties chose a known liar over known facts.
And as long as there are rightie thickos there will be snake oil salesman such as Farage and Johnson to fill their silly bigoted heads with lies and misinformation
Folk over this side of the Atlantic mock the hillbillies in the states who believe those evangelical preachers when they make ludicrous claims, and send them millions.
Well, that is how normal folk over here see rightie/brexiters. |  | | |
