The UK government lying in its attack on refugee rights.
This claim from the Home Secretary's foreword "we have become the destination of choice in Europe" is clearly untrue, as the Home Office set out clearly in the comparative asylum data. The UK is fifth, with one in ten claims. Germany gets one in give. France gets more.
