they came across like stroppy teenagers
What is the appropriate acceptable behaviour for refugees?
I'm sure that there's a chapter in Debretts covering this.
NotThamesWater-
I don't know and I don't care - they told their carers that they'd be sent here for bullshit reasons. I'm not saying this was/is typical. I'm just offering some primary evidence, as opposed to the agenda-driven secondary evidence I might read on-line.
I don't know why I'm getting so many snotty comments. I've no opinion on this one way or another.

They were 'supposed' to be fleeing persecution, traumatised by war, their lives in danger had they remained in Afghanistan; I was informed they came across like stroppy teenagers getting stoned and giggling behind the bike sheds.
But who cares - the point is, no government offers asylum out of the goodness of its heart: it's because of the need for cheap labour; pressure from others in the international community; as a trade-off for being allowed to medal in foreign affairs in the first instance.
