David Blunkett said In 2002 the then Labour Home Secretary David Blunkett was saying that he had “no sympathy” with young asylum seekers from Kosovo or Afghanistan who come to Britain looking for work. He told members of Parliament, “If these people are dynamic and well-qualified, and I don’t dispute that they are, they should get back home and recreate their countries that we freed from tyranny, whether it be Kosovo or now Afghanistan.” In response to this type of rhetoric by 2004 the Refugee Council was saying that ministers were treating asylum seekers like criminals “contributing to public misunderstanding of refugees”.
