  1. Wow that flight to Rwanda really put the brakes on things!

  2. I previously said that this was getting ridiculous.

    It’s now getting insane.

    If the trend continues the UK will be so far past unsustainable that it will be financially impossible to support.

  3. How about the deterrent of the Rwanda policy loads of people were talking about in the past few days? Already over?

  4. It’s fine they’re all going to Dublin. For the craic presumably.

  5. Falling over themselves for a free flight to Rwanda, 5,000,000 rwandan francs (14 months worth of income) + 5 years board and lodgings, all paid for by the UK taxpayer.

  6. Hopefully we see more than 700 people flying to Rwanda today.

  7. Can we just appease everyone, make the funds that support these people an opt in tax – people who want to let the refugees come in can pay for them those who don’t want them don’t pay shit – once the funds run out they’re simply dumped elsewhere with zero shits given to their welfare.

    edit: bonus points if we house them in the location with highest amount of people opting in to the tax so they don’t bother the folk who don’t want them.

  8. Nice. 10 milion pounds per day on hotels for illegals isn’t enough. Moooore!
    Sigh

  9. Schodingers Rwanda.

    Both stopping immigration but also ineffectual as it hasn’t started yet.

  10. I enjoyed PMQs yesterday where Rishi claimed that the Rwanda scheme was working and that legal migration was falling. Rwanda scheme is now so broken that it’s apparently stopping legal migrants whilst doing nothing about the channel gang activity and our PM is stupid enough to claim that this is a win.

  11. Also what if the Rwanda deal is too good?

    What was it £3k cash up front and room and board for 5 years….might give it a go myself

  12. There’s a very easy way to stop these illegal channel crossings.
    The traffickers are running rings around European governments.
    Immigrants are never welcomed with open arms, no matter where they are in the world.

  13. Oh well Brexit means Brexit and all that, welcome to sovereignty.

  14. I thought they’d all gone to Ireland and Rwanda had solved boat crossings? 

  15. That’s 70% of the total number of people to be sent to Rwanda over the term of the five year trial.

  16. Does anyone know where these people actually go? Could the government build a huge camp, like the refugee camps they have in the middle east?

  18. Irish govt launching another scheme to buy and refurbish derelict properties and other properties to house immigrants.

  19. I guess turning em around and sending them back is not allowed..

    /s

  20. Does the chap counting them have a clicker or goes old school with a tally chart?

  21. This shit needs sorting out. It’s costing us an absolute fortune and our services are getting fucked.

  22. How convenient! On the day of the local elections and all 🤷‍♂️

  24. What is actually stopping the Government and/or home office right now juste loading up an RAF flight to Rwanda now?

  25. When the weather gets better and the water gets warmer, the amount crossing goes up.

    There’s always a ‘busiest day of the year’ after months of wintery and spring weather.

    It’s literally meaningless.

  28. If we averaged this new number of 700 illegal migrants a day it would be 255k a year. 2.5 million in a decade. 25 million or more than 1/3rd of our population in a century.

    Britain would collapse

  29. There is NO way to stop these boats other than by sinking them and killing everyone on board. That would stop it all in a week. However, obviously that can’t be done for ALL sorts of reasons. So I think there really is no solution is there?

  30. Luckily sunak found one to go to Rwanda…which the press are claiming is proof it works! The only way to deter these crossings is to set up a processing centre in France. Anyone trying to cross on a raft then is clearly trying to hide something with a safe route available.

  31. To send them all to Rwanda it’ll cost 1.4 billion! On and 3k each to bribe them on the plane 🤣

  32. This will continue to happen because it’s obvious to every one of them that they just need to force their way in, hide behind Human Rights and government hands are tied. They just know how to play the system. Fix the system, you will fix the problem but that comes with prospect of accusations of discrimination and racism which works on British politicians like kryptonite on Superman. Not to mention potential death threats.

  33. How about we Brits start collecting the boats and head off in the opposite direction?
    I’d love to see how the French government would respond to boatloads of Brits turning up demanding political asylum!

  34. It’s getting a bit mad now. I can see this being the reason the Tories get back in after one labour government.

  35. But I thought all the right wing commentators on here were telling us the other day that Ireland taking action against the UK ment the Rwanda “plan” was working??????

  36. Mass invasion and the number 1 issue destroying the Uk

  37. These bleeding heart liberals will have questions to answer when a heavily right wing party is voted into power. That’s the only logical conclusion to this.

  38. It will be over 250,000 a year. And they will also get their family. If each of them has 3 family members to come, that means 1 million asylum seekers every year.

  39. Imagine if these people led the German invasion in WW2? We wouldn’t have stood a chance..

  40. They really need to stop this. I don’t really care it’s currently only 3% of immigration, it still should be stopped. Sadly I can’t really think of a way that’s really feasible but they shouldn’t be picked up and escorted into the country.

  41. The U.K. is FULL. Every cunt waiting in line for everything now. We become more and more like Russia every day. Even if they stopped coming 5 years ago we’d still be in an unbelievable mess. The fact that this volume is still coming over makes the U.K. a foregone conclusion. YOU are now second rate citizens and you and your children will suffer because of this for the next 100 years.

  42. They should use force and push them back. Greece do it already so the UK won’t be a party of one.

  43. Thankfully the highly competent government with an elected PM who made this their fake top priority are on it!
