BRITAINS 'ASYLUM' POLICY IS INHUMAN AND BARBARIC

Now asylum children face 'even worse prison than Dungavel'

Scotsman report: http://www.scotsman.com/news/Now-asylum-children-face-39even.6306713.jp#5240497

In my opinion if someone asks for political asylum they should live in the community until their application is properly processed and be allowed to work and/or claim benefits during that period.

Sticking them into prison is barbaric and misses the whole point of political asylum. Better to not offer it at all (and accept that Britain is more xenophobic and heartless than any other nation in Europe) than treat these refugees in this disgusting and humiliating fashion.

Give Scotland the powers over asylum and immigration that the UK currently holds and I'm sure we could come up with a better and fairer system than this.
