I like this from that link
Quote:
Ken Livingstone, the former Mayor of London, addressed the protestors outside the ministry in a show of support for the RMJ. He told The Independent afterwards: “For 20 years governments have made it more and more difficult for refugees to stay in this country. The conditions they are forced to live in have become worse and worse and are now a disgrace.
“They aren’t closing RMJ because of some strange payment decision. They are doing it because they want to close RMJ down to send a message to the world ‘You are not welcome here’.”

If he is right then I think the Government are spot on. Most people do want it to be harder for refugees to stay here.
As has already been mentioned they should seek asylum in the first country they reach. Anyone coming here via France should be sent straight back to France
