Genuinely evil people that will happily ruin innocent peoples lives for their own advantage. And of course further evidence (as if more was needed) that our immigration and asylum systems are completely broken.

So, if someone breaks one batch of laws, they will usually break others as well.
That is why we had to apply measurements from Denmark (or the Netherlands) here and return to the Rwanda scheme.
It is shameful if public resources are spent on those trying to abuse the system, so genuine asylum seekers can’t simply run away from wars.
How can an abstract woman from Iran escape prosecution there (for protests, for example) and run away to the UK to live peacefully if the Home Office is constantly distracted by the ones who can simply apply for working visas?

It’s all coming out now. Low trust cultures colliding with a process made for high trust and honest cultures.
What did we expect to happen?
The system needs a complete re-think – it’s no longer fit for purpose in 2026 and it’s hardly evolved since the 1950s.

Maybe the Tories downsizing the number of immigration enforcement staff by several hundred to save money was a bad idea actually………

Actually there’s no asylum fraud, don’t worry I’ve been assured by the finest megaminds the internet has to offer.

Another scaremongering article with what amounts to anecdotal evidence and guesses, without any actual consideration or proof of how widespread an issue this actually is. Genuinely, this is no different to the propaganda GB News shits out, and people are buying it simply because it says BBC at the top.

We need to pause the system and rebuild it to be fit for purpose then. We need to be tougher, including with the appeals process being restricted to one appeal for only extreme cases, we need to make it clear we are not a soft touch and an easy ride. I think other countries are also going to go down a similar route as asylum claims grow. Some will say it is racist or right wing populism, however it is not a bad thing to prevent fraud on a rampant scale and to tackle smuggling gangs like this.

Homeless outreach worker here. There are definitely abuses in the asylum process, absolutely. But the amount of white British nationals pretending to be homeless during “Everyone In” to get a free hotel was off the scale, so the dishonesty broken trust culture is widespread. Interested to see BBC don’t lead with articles on this despite their interest in doing a Panorama on it at the time.

Wait until they find about the section 17 claims using children. There are whole charities at up to assist.

I’m struggling to think why a domestic abuse allegations should ever be a relevant consideration in an asylum claim?
