Water is wet, and Tory voters are more likely to want to send brown people to Africa.
I still can’t believe that this is real. Even dystopian hellscape fiction would not have proposed this ‘route’!
One way ticket to Rwanda… He should start with himself.
A pretty slim majority oppose it though and it’s supported by the majority of Tory voters as well as a lot of red wall voters. This is red meat for the fascists, not something to try and gain widespread appeal. Regardless of whether one supports it or not it’s a load of cynical sabre rattling shite that will never happen because it’s unworkable, financially unfeasible and lawyers will have poked it full of holes already. Didn’t Australia have something similar and didn’t they end up wasting a ludicrous amount of money in court over it?

Voters also want him to be thrown out of government. Want voters want is irrelevant.
I’ve already now seen Brexiteers; calling this out as a “Brexit Benefit” – But it’s not true.
Denmark and the Danish government has already looked into this, and planned for Asylums to go to Rwanda for years – To the unsurprisingly anger from the public; who- like Britains. Find this to be a step too far.
But to those who think this isn’t possible while being in the EU. It is. Denmark is a living proof of that, while also having border-patrol and checks at the Danish/German border, despite being part of Schengen. You can do surprisingly lot, while being a member.
If people illegally crossing the channel get sent to rwanda then theyll probably stop trying to cross. Dont see the issue here.
I saw this in V for Vendetta man. This is whacked. These guys need to resign
Title is *technically* true (35% support vs 42% oppose), but the important thing to note is that conservative voters really like this idea (59% support vs 22% oppose).
If they’re here illegally .. they shouldn’t be here.
Even getting away from the absolute heartlessness of this policy, I’ve discussed that elsewhere:
Is he fucking stupid? Has he completely lost the ability to read the room? This is the time with the single highest support for refugees that I’ve seen in my lifetime in account of the Ukraine war. This might have gained him the xenophobic vote a few years ago but now it’s just going to be seen as the evil policy that it is.
Tories and right wing will be chortling into their gin and tonics and beers on this one.
Technically speaking the rationale holds up. If you are escaping for your life genuinely, a safe haven is a safe haven. But we know Rwanda is not where they want to be.
Priti Patel’s chances of measuring up new curtains at No10 has just shot up. The bastards will love the nasty cow for this one.
New poll finds that most voters are not horrifically racist. God, the bar has been set so low
Voters do not oppose it. Here is the survey in question:
Its pure Dead Cat to divert attention away from Partygate and the fact that there are more fines to come
This seems so surreal. I listened to Radio 4 on they way home from work & I feel as though my brain turned to actual mush – they managed to find the most right-wing people to speak to: it was disgusting.
ONE person was not right-wing, but their argument was genuinely, ‘the Tories do nothing to help us, so why should we help immigrants.’ Honestly, how are either of those things right.
I feel so detached from politics in Britain right now…
I am so so ashamed to be British in so many ways – something that has changed dramatically over the last decade or so. Actually, to be more precise, pretty much since Brexit. Every day brings further frustration. Example – have you see the latest passport debacle? My nearest appointment as a Londoner is in Durham, over 4 hours away by train. And this was suggested by the Gov website!! Alternatively it’s a ten week wait. Yet another system in meltdown. I tell my European friends this sort of shit and they cannot believe it…
Rwanda?! Jesus fuck !!
Yes, that’s the idea.
Voter’s stop talking about fines and cost of living and fuel shortages and failed brexits and tax rises and debt and housing and the NHS and benefits and inequality and everything the Tories have fucked up.
They think about this. They like it or they don’t.
Then bojo gives it to them, or magnanimously cancels the program. And all attention is on him and he’s somehow the good guy.
He tried a bridge to Ireland. He tried trans-bashing. Neither really caught on though. So maybe refugees will? It was a nice noisy hot topic back in the late 90s, early 2000s. Why not now?
Typical vote winning policy. It’s a good idea in theory but legal challenges will make it nearly impossible to do, as the difference in Australia’s version of this policy is that they have no explicit human rights law while the UK does.
So Boris gets the votes, but never has to deliver and it’ll be dropped due to legal challenges – but give plenty of nice headlines about judges vs “the people”. This is how Tories win elections.
I vote to send Bo job and his cronies to Rwanda and never let them back
From what I read elsewhere this is patently unworkable horseshit. Even the mouth-breathers these dead cats are tailored to should be insulted by how blatant this is. There’s not even the tiniest bit of artistry, is there? It’s just: Big Dog about to lose job over birthday cake, please hate these brown people.

He knows he can get away with anything now. Just keep watching to see the atrocities that he’ll commit in your name
I wish that headline was true at the first four words.
And not just him but everyone aligned with him.
Not Tory voters.
They’re all up for sending coloured people ‘back to where theyre from’.
No, they don’t. Otherwise he wouldn’t be re-elected.
Has anyone mentioned the carbon footprint of all these Rwanda flights?
Has anyone on Rwanda even been consulted? This entire cabinet needs sectioning under the Mental Health Act.
They are a danger to themselves and others.
Will they vote against the Tories on this alone though? If other policies are popular enough to override this then opposition against this alone won’t matter.
I mean, this isn’t even sending immigrants or illegal immigrants out of the UK, this is ASYLUM seekers. Like, the UK plans to help asylum seekers by sending them off to some country in the middle of Africa, that is poverty riddled, and most people haven’t heard of. This is fucking disgusting. If the war in Ukraine wasn’t dominating the news, this would be a far bigger story, and it should be.
It doesn’t matter if voters hate it or not.
It’s been announced to distract us from the facts that **for the first time ever a prime minister broke the law while in office and refused to resign lying to parliament in breach of the ministerial code.**
Can’t build concentration camps in Britain, build them elsewhere.
Are hydrogen cyanide based pesticides banned in Rwanda?
What makes them think the boat organisers actually give any flying fuck in the fiery place, all they want is the money so they’ll still send boats with people in.
All this does is break international laws, arselick xenophobic brexitiers for votes, waste more of our money on a yearly basis, make us people traffickers, fuck over peoples human rights, give pritti Patel wet pants for an hour and distract us from the rest of the Tory shit show.
I’d be fairly happy if the title just ended at “Voters oppose Boris Johnson”.
Because scheme’s like this have been tried by other countries and have resulted in costly failures.
This is the biggest dead cat policy I’ve seen in a good while.
Don’t fall for it, he wants you talking about this batshit mental Rwanda scheme and not the fact that he should resign.
Ah here comes the distraction from party-gate. Right on schedule.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (his real full name I’m not joking) is just asking for a riot at this point
This shouldn’t be news. Anyone with even a quarter of a brain should realise this is a callous, blatantly fascist move that is designed to distract from the fact that our government has been yet again disgraced by a PM who has been fined for a CRIMINAL ACT
I can’t fucking believe that I pay my taxes so the government and come up with these stupid fucking ideas.
Kids will soon be learning Orwell was a time traveler just foreshadowing the near future
> The government has proposed a deal where some people who have entered Britain and applied for asylum will be flown to Rwanda, in Africa, for their asylum applications to be processed. Do you support or oppose this proposal?”
This is not the proposal. They will be flown to Rwanda. That is it. There will be no asylum application, no return to the UK and no appeal.
Boris got this idea from Australia congratulations UK . And for the most part Aussies LUV IT.!
