Is Priti’s Rwanda threat working? ZERO migrants have crossed Channel in nine days since new asylum scheme was announced (but new Royal Navy patrols and ‘strong winds’ could also be a cause)

They’ll risk their life but not risk being sent to Rwanda
Oh it’s defo Priti’s threat because all people in migrant camps watch the news 24/7. They probably have no idea the scheme exists.
What is the average number of immigrants over a 9 day span with similar conditions?
If no one comes here, no one goes to Rwanda, potential asylum seekers are left on The Continent, it is not dangerous there, they were not at risk Crossing the Channel, there is no problem.
​
The people on The Continent are still entitled to seek legal means of entry to the UK.
If Farage thinks the DM is being a bit jingoistic then there just might be something to it.
> Is Priti’s Rwanda threat working?
No, unless your definition of “working” involves the UK shirking its international legal and moral duties.
Betteridge’s Law: If a headline contains a question mark, the answer is: NO.
If the answer was yes, the headline wouldn’t be written as a question.
Just heard crossings stopped due to weather and 350 have crossed in the past two days.
​
So, to answer your question. “No.”
