'Credulous clerics' part of asylum problem

Can’t run an asylum system based on credulous clerics and lefty lawyers. That is why we are fundamentally reforming it. People like the case you mentioned, which should dog individuals, but people like that case should not be here because we want to get to a position. It’s very clear if you come here illegally from a safe country, France is a safe country. It’s a fellow member of the G7, it’s a member of the European Union. It’s signed all of the same treaties to protect refugees that the UK has. So if you come here illegally. You will not be able to stay, and that would apply to this case as it would many other cases that people are concerned about. That’s the law that we’re trying to get through the House of Lords right now. We’re a couple of busloads of peers away in terms of the votes to be able to get that through the House of Lords and then that will create the system that we want, that would have prevented this tragic case. I want to press you on credulous clerics. Tell me, Well, I mean as we’ve, as we have seen in this, this case. This is somebody who should not, in my view, have been granted asylum. Ultimately, those are the matters for judges and the asylum tribunals, so they’re the ones that receive all of the facts. But you know, the Home secretary is right. There is a real concern about this. Let’s take that to the next level. Just because somebody is baptized into Christianity, they should not necessarily be allowed to stay in the UK. That’s what you’re saying? Well, my point is about being credulous. And to be credulous is not to be diligent and inquiring and accept that, you know, this could be something that is being being, you know, faked for that purpose.
