Absolutely believable…pity this campaign stunt is funded by all taxpayers
Rwanda was banking on this too likely. £120 million just to agree to something that will likely never go through. Not bad on their part.
makes sense that it isn’t really feasible. Hard to imagine to transfer around 30.000 refugees every year to Rwanda and pay for everything.
If it doesn’t work as a deterrent, i think you would have to admit that your bluff has been called at one point.
So was her plan to send them to Ascension Island the same? Her Rwanda plan is not much different to that after all.
All this rwanda stinky business because she has been totally incompetent in her job. Out!
I wonder how many people have actually read the Memorandum of Understanding between the UK and Rwanda.
There is one interesting part, which the media have not mentioned.
**16 Resettlement of vulnerable Refugees16.1 The Participants will make arrangements for the United Kingdom to resettle a portion of Rwanda’s most vulnerable refugees in the United Kingdom, recognising both Participants’ commitment towards providing better international protection for refugees.**
​
That’s right – Priti Patel has agreed to the UK taking refugees from Rwanda !
Priti isn’t stupid is she. She knew that blagging it for the last 4 years on a jingoism card would work and boy did she get away with it!
It’s worked wonders as a distraction for Boris, and it’s emboldened the wetherspoons crew to ignore reality
She’s done nothing except waste taxpayers purse time with countless debates on an already known illegal practice, and she’s further entrenched the nutters in this country to be more racist by her insisting it can be done. Plot twist: it just can’t
Fake news to distract from everything else that actually is broken and won’t be fixed…
Google What Australia has been doing for the last 10yrs locking asylum
seekers up on Pacific Islands .Paying that country billions. then Australian Companies go in to provide “Services” Govt pays them billion s who foots the bill .TAXPAYERS..I bet Rwanda was very excited by the plan. Oh and it Violated Human Rights but hey !

Tories openly courting the racist vote.

Slow clap Priti.
