It is illegal to enter the UK if you are a non-UK national and do not have leave to enter. There is no defence to the offence that relates to claiming asylum. FYI it is simply a matter of practicality that the majority of people arriving illegally are not prosecuted for the offence. The courts would have capacity for less than 1% of arrivals and therefore guidance to law enforcement is that prosecution should be reserved for those attempting re-entry after deportation only.

Take a moment and read the Geneva convention and you may grasp what laws we have signed up to.

Reading that Israel have killed 180-250 (depending on different figures) journalists since October 7th. That's crazy.

Targeted assassinations of journalists. These are war crimes. Accusing everyone of being a terrorist without evidence and then unaliving them. And often their families too.

One thing I have noticed when driving north from the north downs where I live l, the sky above London is much clearer than in the past.

Sometimes there is even some natural colour in it.

It’s because Arsenal haven’t had any home games for a couple of months. Give it three weeks and it’ll be back to normal.

The Geneva convention does not interact with, including override, our municipal criminal law. You have committed a criminal offence by entering this country without leave Thats why they are referred to as illegal immigrants. As that is what they are. The Geneva convention states that a genuine refugee should not be punished for irregular entry into the state in question. And as I've stated guidance issued to law enforcement is that prosecution for irregular entry to the UK should be reserved for those attempting re-entry following a deportation order enforcement. So we comply with the convention.
