No, I'd call those a basic human right. They don't even get most healthcare iirc, just emergency care. But again, the numbers and statement seem reasonable. Benefits, not total cost to the state.
Asylum seekers accommodation - Did I hear these numbers correctly?

Not true, my partner who works in mental health sees plenty of asylum seekers.
Strange though, I wonder why housing benefit is named so?

Thank you for confirming my post......."dehumanising refugees absolves any responsibility"
Do tell me, if they aren't the UKs problem, whose problem are they?
The facts disagree
"The single most important reason why these asylum seekers had ended up in the UK was because a decision to bring them here had been made by others"
"Current political and policy debates in the UK are underpinned by the assumption that asylum decision making is motivated primarily by economic considerations and reflects rational choices based on full knowledge of asylum systems in different countries of origin. This can result in a failure to properly hear what people have to say about the circumstances under which they left and the constraints within which choices are made.
The evidence from this research suggests that decision making in the context of forced migration is rarely a rational exercise in which people have full knowledge of all the alternatives and weigh them in some conscious process designed to maximise returns"
yes, that's what the Daily Mail has always said.
It's no surprise that the attitudes of RWRs has not changed.

Rubbish, apparently they're all economic migrants, they can't be dealing with the results of torture, war and loss.
But no, you're right, they are exempt from the rules on residency. Go us!
It would be hard to see how asylum seekers cost anything like as much as tax avoidance or benefit fraud.
If right wing supporters are up in arms about govt money spent on asylum seekers, why aren't they up in arms about govt money spent on bogus PPE contracts.

Sigh, as usual, you're chatting sh*te, they are bone fide (as recognised by the home office) asylum seekers.

Quite possibly not, but as usual, you're missing the point, posting false figures supporting any narrative is disengenous, regardless of your political viewpoint.
It was sarcasm.
Because you're quoting me like I am interested in the numbers, and I couldn't care less
Tax avoidance isn’t illegal. I practice it and if you don’t, you are a bigger fool than you appear.
Whether it's illegal or not, depends on the method of avoidance.
I stand to be corrected but, by definition, tax avoidance is not illegal.
Regardless of the method employed.
It becomes illegal when it is tax evasion.
Because you're quoting me like I am interested in the numbers, and I couldn't care less
Facts aren't of interest to you.
Glad we got that sorted
In what way?
