I feel like this country is becoming a nightmare parody of an 80’s sitcom.
So they got their “deport ‘THEM’ back to Africa” motion passed on St Georges Day for the BNP, Britain First and EDL vote at the local elections.
What a fucking dystopian nightmare of a country we are becoming under these cunts.
Seeing as he can just “Declare Rwanda is safe”, by law, to fix the legal issue, that it isn’t safe, can we please also legislate that NHS waiting times are gone? Or that Crime is at an all time low?
Seeing as apparently British law has the ability to magically make things true…
It’s so depressing to think of the damage they have caused in the last 14 years, and the fact that we’re so close to, and yet so far from, the next election and they’re STILL not done. Just further chipping away at the heart and soul of the country right to the bitter end.

A little more sensible is still nowhere near sane.

Wasting our tax money on a failed plan (although I’m sure someone is getting rich out of it)… costs for the whole thing are insane… would be cheaper to build facilities and keep them locked there until they are processed.
That would be a much bigger deterrent.
Bravo, Beautiful, amazing show of grit and determination!
Now let’s see it fail like everything the Tories have touched since coming into power.
GE now.
Yayyyy, the government have passed a new law declaring that up is down and that cats are actually dogs
Will this result in a precipitous drop in illegal immigration – Australia style
Or will it make no effect at all
Only time will tell I suppose
I don’t understand why this is the course of action they’re taking, is it not possible to just deport sex offenders and other foreign offenders instead?
At this point I just want this to be out of the news. It’s boring. It’s repetitive. It’s stupid. The reporting on it is infuriating because *nobody points any of this out*. It’s like something out of 1984 the way all the reporters seem to have got together to report on this as if it was in any way reasonable or sensible and not a *ridiculous* and *insane* bizarre obsession that Sunak is not only focusing ministers on but also throwing more and more money at for *zero* material gain given that in order for the UK to send refugees to Rwanda we will be taking Rwandan pensioners in exchange!
Hate to be that twat and come off as really cynical and disconnected from the real pain this will cause for the migrants, but is this going to help or hurt him politically? I would guess it could bring back some disaffected Tory voters especially in time for the local elections but I think it might be too little too late for most of them who’ve jumped ship to Reform UK.
I guess my main fear is that goldfish brained Tory-leaning voters will genuinely view this one minor potential success (there will probably still be challenges getting the flights going and idk how likely they are to happen?) as a reason to go back to voting for them. Guess we’ll see in 2 weeks time after the local elections.
How long until a court inevitably passes a declaration of incompatibility with several ECHR articles?
Wow, Sunak actually did it, the absolute madman.
Can’t wait for the Supreme Court or European Court of Human Rights to shoot this law down and bring the Tories back to square one.
Really? Didn’t see that one coming. Oh wait, he made them stay until they passed it. They gave up as they we’re probably tired
To all of you who repost the daily mail dogshit anti Muslim stories here each day, you are in complicit in our terrible system which produces policies like the Rwanda policy.
Just so this is clear for me… We can spend £1.8m per migrant to get them sent elsewhere, but we can’t afford to spend significantly less on housing them, educating them and putting them into work so they’re productive members of the UK?
How does that make any financial sense at all
People here moaning and crying at being able to finally deport people who are obviously taking the piss.
Evil tories stopping infinity migrants, cos they’re evil.
Sunak has been adamant that the research points to deterrents being the key.
As much as I don’t like the policy, at least now we get to see first hand if it actually works.
My concern however is that by the time the flights actually start taking place, it will be winter already, which usually coincides with a drop off in boat crossings anyway.
So they’ll probably claim it’s working, when a reduction in numbers would happen without it.
Imagine being allowed to just fly people you don’t want in your country thousands of miles away so you don’t have to deal with them
Finally it’s done. Let’s hope Starmer sees this for the gift it is and refuses the petty politics of promising to undo it at first opportunity. Having a clear and obvious deterrent is the only way illegal asylum seekers will think twice.
Obviously it’s been a massive failure in implementation but the validity of this policy will only be seen once it’s actually used and potential migrants understand the likelihood that any crossing will result in them ending up in Rwanda.
Never forget that this shit show of a policy was first announced on the same day that Johnson and Sunak were fined for breaking (their own) COVID lockdown rules.
So after the pathetically inadequate process to give Afghan interpreters a safe route here, if someone who risked their life to keep British soldiers safe does make it here, the thanks is to be deported to Rwanda whose system will threaten to deport them back to Afghanistan.
Imagine voting for that.
Imagine thinking you’re a good person as you do so.
Ok I’ll be honest. I’m broadly in support of this and I will tell you why.
No one has come up with a suitable alternative.
No one has been able to explain to me why this is terrible, apart from possibly the cost. Which is arguable since the cost of keeping refugees is just as expensive.
I am happy to change my mind if someone explains it to me.
Interestingly this is on the Home Office website
LGBT+ travellers
Same-sex sexual activity is not illegal in Rwanda, but is frowned on by locals. LGBT+ travellers can experience discrimination and abuse, including from local authorities.
There are no specific anti-discrimination laws that protect LGBT+ individuals in Rwanda. Read more advice for LGBT+ travellers.
So the country isnt safe if an inmigrant says im part of the LGBT community?
I don’t understand why they were so insistent on this
It’s nice to know that parliament has the power to warp reality with a majority vote.
Can someone tell us how sending 300 people to Rwanda for £562,000,000 will help lower NHS waiting times, or build more Social Houses?
But they could have hired 20,000 extra Nurses, or built 10,000 houses instead, and that would.
Yes Rwanda is that ridiculously expensive.
Perfect setup for the election. Labour will have no plan and will never be pinned down on a strategy for migration.
