Can’t wait to see how well this does. My popcorn is ready!
Hope we’ll consider it worth it looking back after we let the Tories completely tear up our human rights just to stop a few asylum seekers from seeking asylum here.
I’m sure this won’t turn into something we all realise was a massive mistake immediately after it’s happened.
From the Guardian’s live blog:
> The PM has told MPs that it’s Rwanda — not him — who doesn’t want to be seen as breaching international law, according to a Tory source
That would he hilarious if it wasn’t so serious.
The Prime Minister of the UK is telling his MPs that he’d really love to break international law the government of Rwanda doesn’t want to be associated with him if he goes as far as he wants to.
He’s gone way beyond anything you’d see in the Thick of It.
The country has had 4 general elections, and we somehow chose these fuckers every time. Makes me proud to be English to see our incredible talent for finding the worst possible choice in all scenarios.
200 migrants will make all the difference to that 700,000 figure I’m sure
I misread the headline as “Sunak’s Bill aims to block human rights” and didn’t even flinch.
So now the Tories are human trafficking…who is gonna stop them?…can we have a vote?
Remember when Brexit voters said they’d be voting Brexit to get rid of unelected bureaucrats from making laws and Brexit voters said ripping up human rights laws as a consequence was project fear.
Well here we are, an unelected PM* ripping up human rights laws, but it’s ok, because it doesn’t affect me.
Just remember that the man Sunak is sat with in the header picture had Paul Rusesabagina kidnapped and jailed for over a year, and only let him go free after the USA intervened.
Where the country is going, we’ll need as many as we can keep
2016 again, they want to take back votes from the reform party/UKIPers/EDL little Tommy
How many people actually consider the Rwanda plan specifically, as opposed to immigration concerns in general, a deciding factor in who to vote for next year?
Immigration as a whole is a big deal for a lot of people, but the Tories seem to have lost sight of the wood among the trees, and have convinced themselves that *this scheme specifically* is what will chime with voters. It’s the same delusion as what came after the Uxbridge result.
Voters don’t care about sending immigrants to Rwanda, they care about stopping the boats. Yet it seems the government had decided that the former is the more important issue, so continue banging their heads against the wall for fear of losing face.
Selectively denying a defined group of people human rights in order to expel them from the country…
I think the next step is to invade Poland for lebensraum if I recall correctly.
They’re “human rights”, not “people like us rights”

Nothing important “innit?”
