Lunatic Assylum

Matthew Parris, who can be so wrong about domestic and European issues, turns his eye to assylum seekers. Forget fraudulent assylum seekers and worry about the whole mad system of assylum. The Geneva convention was agreed in an age before mass air travel. And it shows.

What is worse is that control of our borders, surely the very definition of existence as a nation-state, is deemed to be superseded by adherance to an outdated doctrine.
