‘Fantastic’ explanation to Tory MP about asylum seekers goes viral

"Superb response to a tired line of questioning," wrote one person after watching the clip.

Controversial MP Jonathan Gullis MP is taught a lesson (he was a teacher you know!) on why asylum seekers ‘don’t seek refuge’ somewhere else – like Germany, or France.

It comes as Home secretary Suella Braverman says frustration with accommodation for asylum seekers is “understandable” amid demonstrations erupting into violence.

Around 15 people were arrested after violence erupted during a demonstration outside the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, Merseyside, in violent and distressing scenes.

More protests have been planned around the country.

Braverman said housing asylum seekers in hotels is “causing understandable tensions within communities, pressures on local resources, and is frankly unsustainable”.

Schooled

It was Zoe Gardner that put Gullis on the naughty step.

“France received three times as many applications as we did last year”, Gardner says.

“But the people who are making their way to England, and who specifically wish to come to the UK do so because they have ties to this country.”

Watch

“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?”

“Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?”

Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.#RefugeesWelcome pic.twitter.com/JZuTi4hkqG

This tweet is essential reading.

The 3 things you need to know:

1. Most refugees never come to rich countries like the UK, more go to other countries.

2. Those coming to the UK have ties to this country.

3. Geography is no excuse to shirk responsibility & leads to a race to the bottom with disastrous results.

And this.

For those asking how he responded, I don't remember any response at all.

This too…

Suella Braverman is threatening to bring out another Bill any day now, not even a year after this one – which they promised was the only way to end small boats crossings – came into law.

The new one looks to be just as cruel, and just as useless in achieving its stated aims.

1.

Wonder if Gullis has the intelligence to understand this very clear and accurate answer to his populist "question"? https://t.co/r8NmfvnWxc

Fabulous reply to Gullis. How many times do they have to hear this before they understand? Are our politicians stupid? 🙄 https://t.co/soCgpHRUFV

This is a very clear answer that also applies to Australia, on all three points. https://t.co/RpbDnRDs1P

5.

Fantastic response. The premise of an idiotic question from Jonathan Gullis MP calmly but completely taken apart. Well done and thank you. https://t.co/zOvYeNdijl
