Where is the evidence that the UK is a more attractive place for asylum seekers to come to than other countries in Europe? Use of English (a colonial legacy) and family connection are surely the 2 strongest 'pulls'. Leaving aside hotels (which are inappropriate for most)..

If I've heard correctly,you should remove your tag-line 'environmental campaigner' after you voted against the motion to mandate builders to install Swift Bricks'. These are a valid measure to reverse the terrible decline of our iconic summer bird. Ex-RSPB? Shame on you.

So it has begun. A Boat-tailed Grackle lands in Hampshire near Southampton.Clearly ship- assisted. A 1st for the UK. But it's a 3.5 hours drive away. And the weather's not great. Worth going for? Looks a pretty bird. Seen its cousins in Trinidad. Do I wish it to disappear, and decision made? Ho hum!
