| Asylum Backlog 11:55 - Feb 26 with 1605 views | johnlangy | Some interesting numbers. Some 64,426 people were waiting for an initial decision on an asylum application at the end of December 2025. This is down 20% from 80,841 at the end of September 2025, and a drop of nearly half (48%) from 124,802 a year earlier at the end of December 2024. The asylum backlog peaked at 175,457 at the end of June 2023. The latest figure of 64,426 is the lowest since 60,548 at the end of September 2020. The number of people waiting more than 12 months for an initial decision on their asylum claim stood at 22,275 at the end of last year, down from 45,094 at the end of 2024 and well below the recent peak of 91,741 in June 2023. |  | | |  |
| Asylum Backlog on 02:32 - Feb 28 with 309 views | Robbie | Sahmood Mahmood has come out with some very big ideas on The BBC suggesting Labour are still commited to stopping the small boats crossings . By the way Labour have had 18 months to curb the crisis and have done sweet FA again . Even she in this statement albiet in so much waffle akin to a Politician , a demograhic vote was a turning point by communities . Labour have had their rear ends kicked and will come out fighting via PR spin and lets get a grip on our Country , we will get it right as promised by Sir Kier . Anybody prepared to put their head above the parapet and risk a choice call . The silence is deafening from Westminster . |  | |  |

Obviously some are missing the bigger picture ,in 1979 the Islamists in Iran sided with the leftish parties who were edging towards power and did gain it after the removal of the Shah and with it the establishment of the Islamic Republic who then removed all those of the left who created the conditions for the revolution, these included all those who now historically are targeted by the followers of Islam. This is not the start of a take over of our political system , that happened when Blair opened the gates of this country, who would vote Green knowing their main policies include no borders ,Labour as a party as are the Tories will be in the wilderness so who are the next best party to support if your aim is to achieve your aims. |  |

Yes, anyone thinking of voting alongside Islamists should acquaint themselves with the not only the start and timeline of the 1979 revolution but especially the 1981 & 1982 purges and massacres that are sheer Stalinist brutality and show the totalitarianism of hardline Islam once it gains power. We need to be worried for many reasons because the mask of deceit slips regularly, even the deputy leader Mothin Ali has some unpleasant antisemitic skeletons in his cupboard. Worryingly he could mount a serious challenge to Burgon in Leeds East at the next election if he decided to run against him. [Post edited 28 Feb 14:15]

Aye, the sheer stupidity, hypocrisy and self awareness from lefty idiots whom defend and promote one thing that wants to punish the very other thing that they defend and promote also. Idiot's from Cloud-Cuckoo-Land central who refuse to speak out against Islamic extremism, whilst waving a Pride Flag. The silence about Iran hey? I once came across a Presbyterian minister and his wife, now they were very hardline when it came to biblical interpretation, but Islam would be vastly worse as what has happened and happens in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan etc. |  |

I dare say the increase in appeals is because more cases have been processed and the applications for asylum declined, the applicants are then moving on to the next stage in the process. |  | |  |

Some of them are truly sick in the head, I was to find out online that the Presbyterian minister and his disgusting wife whom I had the previous misfortune to have meet were rejoicing about Covid by means of a Hulk Hogan post that was rejoicing about it also. Ahhh, but there again, their Sunday services were cancelled and they were far safer than many anyhow! |  |
