How does Labour and Plaid propose to keep these potential terrorists who have been rejected elsewhere from entering England, Scotland, Ireland?

Also bear in mind this sanctuary is for WORLD asylum seekers, not merely those from the EU

What rot. At the end of WWII there were millions displaced by Stalin on a scale hopefully never to be repeated. Whole nations were rearranged. Maybe those don’t count because they were done by the Left. Then we can add on all those displaced in Asia by the Japanese, and in Western Europe at the same time.

Today we have a war in Syria, Sudan and some minor conflicts in Africa. There’s no way that the displacement matches that of WWII, unless you count voluntary displacement.
