  1. We’ll soon see if the African solution is as effective for the UK and Denmark as the Pacific solution was for Australia.

  2. I doubt it will happen the way the government wants, the solicitors will file their last minute appeals and the flight will leave with only a handful of its intended passengers. That’s if someone doesn’t superglue themselves to the undercarriage.

  3. Great if it happens, as it will give pause for any illegal immigrant heading our way to think about a different destination.

    Not only that, this will save lives as crossing the channel is not safe.

    Perhaps other European countries could look into similar ideas and send illegal immigrants to a destination that doesn’t border their own country.

  4. This took a stupidity long time to get through. In the meantime theres been thousands of crossings with hundreds of thousands of illegals in the country.

    I have lost hope that this will be effective either. I have a feeling that the government will do a half-ass job and will only send a few token illegals to Rwanda to appease the public but will stop at doing anything truly effective.

  5. If you have made it to Britain, you’ve crossed dozens of completely safe countries to do so, you aren’t a refugee or asylum seeker by definition. I have no issue with genuine asylum seekers being processed in the nearest safe countries, and then being divvied up around the world so that everyone takes a fairer share, that’s fine.

    What I do take issue with is people coming illegally with zero legitimate safety concerns, generally for financial reasons, and then pretending it’s because they were at risk of war or persecution. You came through either Southern or Central Europe to get here, safety and persecution weren’t the issue.

  6. The way I see it this is the same “solution” as a pressure release valve. Its either this today Royal Navy ship patrolling the channel and sinking them in 20 years.

    Its completely inhumane and vile, but it will be worse later if nothing is done.
