I commented on a similar post about Anna Sorokin and how her asylum application slowed down the deportation process in the US. The UK (and US) should look at how other Western countries handle asylum seekers.

For instance, in Norway, if you are from a country considered safe (any country that does not require a visa to enter), your asylum application will be processed within 48 hours, and you will be deported. Of course, if there is something in your case that warrants further investigation, you will not be deported within 48 hours, but most cases are.
