'Primary' asylum seekers video project

[Loge91]

asylum seekers are suppose to go to there nearest safe country not travel thousands of miles so they can come here and be put first in the que. Why should we let them sort of people in our country? We dont need them and we're full up as it is.

[FAMEROB]

they should do the same interview in 20 years

[littlepurplediamond]

this is a wonderful video and I am so happy to watch it. thankyou so much.

[kepplescolumn]

Kids always talk like this when they are young.........then they grow up and get real.

79274333: It is hardly brain washing - obviously the kids are not scripted or the words would not come so easily, and i dont know where you are getting your facts - but you need to do some more research!

[mashoodshah123]

Exactly.. WTF ?

[SaradhaNathan]

Asylum seekers have a track record of assimilating into the host country and contributing to the economy. In the long term, they create jobs and pay their fair share of taxes. Let's open our hearts and welcome asylum seekers and pressure our governments to take a role in stopping the persecution that makes people flee their country of origin. We should trading with countries that violate human rights.

[KaFkAtAn]

Great video, I think it's fantastic that kids don't have the hang-ups about helping others who are really in need that other people do. Recent research has shown that often Asylum seekers don't know where they are going to end up, don't make the decision to come to the UK themselves or are completely unaware about the welfare system in the UK when they leave their country of origin. They are more concerned with staying alive, not exploiting other countries.

[lincsskin]

If they are real asylum seekers they didn't ,''have to come here''.Under international law they are supposed to go the first safe country.That can Never be the UK nowadays.

[AussietheAustralian]

Most asylum seekers can afford to pay thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to try to enter countries illegally when plenty of people take the legal avenue and do things through the right procedure.

Why should we feel sorry for them ? Just because you have coached kids in to what to say ? Get over yourselves.

[bjstechbjstech]

Good job kids for making this wonderful video.

Ah they are adorable, but that's exactly my problem. Using these children make you say "aaww how sweet"is very poor form. Making the children support an illegal problem that effects honest, hard workers job security.

[Redsquirrel100]

It's not the kids that have to bloody pay for them. Brainwashing by the schools is the problem here, not 'grown ups' lack of compasion.

[blaze3927]

bloody pay for them hmm imagine yourself in someone else's shoes, born in a country of little prospect, your home burned family and friends mutilated and killed to come to another country to find people are worried more about their own life being impacted than their fellow human beings lives being taken

[sharawa1]

the music is kurdish ,azizm to gwlakamy.

[llam123]

kids can also welcome life on the streets after there parents are rundown by taxes supporting the human garbage that take their parents jobs. so many people are happy for them to to come to their country untill jobs dry up then what...........

[AhmadMashallah]

Love the music

[STENCHBURG]

well kids dont have to pay tax so of coarse its ok fot them but for us adults.......

[79274333]

This is brain washing, let kids make up their own mind about asylum seekers.

most of which are illegal immigrants abusing the system

[barryhendry27]

Watching the video it looks like the kids have made up their own mind - they're friends with other kids and it doesn't matter their background. nice message really.

[mr3769]

I agree with you. Kids talking about kids who without being in Britain would be victims. Pity most adults cannot see that the issue is about humanity not borders, economics, race or creed!

[robotracking]

@79274333 ....... i agree.  I posted a comment of my own, its anti-asylunm, but i think the admin will block it as they are to scared for the truth to be shown and read by others.

[littlepurplediamond]

how can you say that? what on earth in those comments gives you any indication they were brainwashed???

children are pure before they reach adult years and say what they want from their hearts.

refugees are not illegal immigrants abusing the system they are individuals and families fleeing persecution, fleeing war torn death countries.

[UseABetterName]

Of course teaching children only positive facts about asylum is only a good thing to some...

You should be responsible for that and them too.

[UseABetterName]

Why don't you teach them about some of the harm its doing too?!!

If there is such a thing as "Liberal extremism", its taking in dangerous degenerate people from foreign countries that have absolutely nothing to do with us. Which then do the inevitable and harm some of us!

Hope that helped...

[gaelicscots]

How dare these liberal, politically correct, nu labour brainwash children like this. Tell them the real facts like how asylum seekers refuse to claim asylum anywhere in their continant, and how they bypass every country in europe to come to britian.

[79274333]

good one, they should seek asylum in the first safe country they get to, Britain is an island surrounded by safe countries, all asylum seekers are therefore just illegal immigrants.

[KaFkAtAn]

They are probably better educated than you, so they probably deserve a better chance in life and they want to make something out of this great chance they have, ie coming to country where they have running water, not to leave in fear of persecution, until people like you come along. unlike you they are not bigoted, fascist, a nutter, etc

[AranSPEAKS]

Nice one, good video!

[theporksicle]

Yeah but kids are not forced to pay taxes to support these lazy asylum seekers. Little kids have a very one-dimensional view of the world and this is, in my book, exploitation of that.

You know full well that these kids just make a friend and that's it, it matters not to them whether the person is a refugee or native.

But there are more issues at play here than that.
