So, for a long time, ever since I was a nipper, as a young political journalist,

successive governments have come along and said,

The asylum system is dreadful, it's in chaos, it's all a terrible mess.

We have to sort it out.

And also, it's not just the government.

It's the refugee charities who say the system's not working either.

public who quite rightly are spending most of their lives not thinking about politics but But if you put everything into these very effective three-word slogans,

the public then expects that you might even vaguely appear to be doing something about it.
