Jonathan Gullis (and everybody else) is put straight on why asylum-seekers can come to the UK
Jonathan Gullis: he’s the maskless fellow jeering behind Boris Johnson in this shot from Prime Minister’s Questions last year.
This should finally kill off all the arguments that refugees should stay in the first safe country they reach: if all countries said this, it would destroy the international asylum system.
Watch the video in which Zoe Gardner of the European Network on Statelessness destroys Gullis’s reasoning once and for all:
“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?”
“Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?”
Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.#RefugeesWelcome pic.twitter.com/JZuTi4hkqG

Gullis is now a figure of ridicule across the UK. He recorded a video clip bemoaning the state of parts of his constituency – so members of the public merrily pointed out that the cause was 13 years of Tory government:

And I’m not sure what to make of this so-called ‘MP Mastermind’ clip, apart from that it is amusing at his expense:

Fortunately for his Red Wall constituency, people there are likely to switch back to Labour at the next general election, so his Westminster career may soon be an embarrassing blip in history.
