The UK recieves the 5th highest asylum claims in Western Europe, Germany had 250 thousand asylum claims in 2024 compared to the UK's 108.

Adjusted for population that number falls to the 17th.

Every way you slice this data the UK is not recieving an outsized asylum claiment or resettlement number. We do not have a generous asylum system or welfare state comparatively to other european states.

    At some point the political and media class is going to have to level with people. Human beings are mobile, smart and determined.

    If they decide that their future is better off in the UK they will find a way to get here either as irregular migrants or, if they have a claim, seeking asylum.
