Times Online - Comment: “From the Shadow Home Secretary

Sir, Mr Anthony Aust (letter, January 26) appears not to have read our policy document on asylum. There is no question of a Conservative government returning to their countries of origin anyone whom our own courts have found to be in genuine fear of persecution.

The objective is to deter or remove false claimants. In 2003, 72 per cent of applicants were refused permission to remain in Britain. In the last two financial years only about one in five of those refused has been removed.

Yours faithfully,
DAVID DAVIS,
House of Commons.
January 26.”

All very well and good, but exactly how are you going to achieve this when the EU says you cannot. It appears that we need to sort out first, who runs this country the people we elect to do the job, or the unelected unaccountable Commission. If you cannot answer that question then why should we vote Conservative?
