An Eritrean, imprisoned because of his religious sect, [ took 3 years to reach Britain ]( http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/sep/06/eritrea-dangerous-trek-to-britain-slavery-trafficking ) , where he received asylum. He had to fend off kidnapers in Sudan, which also lets the Eritrean agents seize Eritrean refugees. One thing I do not understand is why he snuck into the UK from Calais rather than asking for asylum in France. What is the attraction or advantage of the UK for a person who has a valid claim to asylum? Does anyone know?
