SO Robin Tingey (EA January 28) finds Michael Howard's announcement that his party would introduce maximum quotas for asylum seekers and that Howard cares little for the most vulnerable horrifying. To me asylum seeking is just another way around immigration control.
If so-called asylum seekers are in danger of their lives, or at least fear imprisonment and torture, they would surely seek refuge in the first safe haven they came to and not travel half way around the world to seek asylum in this country.
