[QUOTE=JamesWales;5292641]Probably not bollocks, but probably an agenda and not looking at the fuller picture, which is what was happening in Australia before, which was illegal crossings via criminal gangs across dangerous seas.

Proper policies and enforcing the law sometimes costs money. We should give it a go. If you think effectively giving priority to young men wealthy enough to pay then thats up to you. I think we can do better. And you still havent come up with an alternative.[/Q

So despite being shown that the cost of a similar scheme was enormous and clearly unsustainable and horrific abuse took place you still think "we should give it a go" I suppose you think that as we're British we'll do it better and it'll be "world beating" no doubt!

For reference checkout tonights Newsnight on BBC2 - interesting detail from Lewis Goodall and the interviews after. I know it's the BBC and it obviously has an agenda, etc. but give it a view.
