Anthea: Genuine asylum seeks never complain about where they are housed - they are just happy to be alive - time countries threw out all the bogus asylum and helped the Kurdish refugees from Syria and others in a similar situation
NOT someone who wants to work in UK or other country and feels safe enough to return to their country of origin for a holiday every year - as soon as a person is safe enough to return to their country of origin - they no longer need to refugee to another country - they should lose the right to be a refugee and those genuine refugees could then receive the help they so desperately need
