Sending U.K. refugees to Rawanda

Some of you are incredibly ignorant and unfeeling about other human beings.

Remember the Hutu and Tutsi genocide.

They couldn’t have chosen a worse country if they tried.

The Nazi’ s tried the same thing with the Jews - they tried to ship them to another African country.

This is the policy of fascism.

Why stop at young men? Seems sexist thing to do doesn’t it? Whole families could be shipped out.

That seems a much better idea.

Perhaps every country needs to do this.

Poland, they have about 4 million asylum seekers I believe. Or France or Germany, Greece have plenty or Turkey.

We could double the population of Rwanda overnight.

The principle is absolutely no different.

So asylum applications will be processed offshore. What are all the Guardianistas here getting so worked up about? The EU’s criticism is we have too many "pull factors". Now we may reduce those and save people from drowning. What's your problem?

Sorry, more toxic wokeflakes.

No problem if they are genuine asylum seekers they will be allowed to stay in the UK if they are not genuine I don't particularly care what happens to them. I just hope that word will get around that the UK is now not a soft touch and you can't bypass the system and pay money to a smuggler gang to get here.

^There are masses of empty housing in UK in every council area^

Where?

Where indeed?
Certainly not near us. Certainly not where my DD lives and how do you access it when there are masses of empty houses?

Horrible echoes of the third Reich.
I want to say I also wonder if we are EVER told the truth.
I met a woman at a bus stop in my small, totally white, Scottish Border town. She told me our country was being invaded by illegal immigrants and there was no space left for us.
I asked her if she knew or had met any. She didn't answer.

What happens to those folk who we turn down for refugee status in Rwanda?

This is the stuff of nightmares.

It will be a vote winner for Boris if it actually happens. Stop the illegal boat smuggler crossings.

Give that money to finance the Army planes to process the migrants (mostly men, funny that) in Rwanda.

You don't really know what "process the migrants" means, do you? Given that, I don't think we'll be trusting your view on migration policy.

Also, Right Wing Bingo.

My prediction - it won't happen.

They are getting close to the end of the parliamentary session and there are lots of amendments to the bill. They also have to get it through the Lords, and so they could run out of time.

Then they will say that they tried to do something about immigration but the toxic wokeflakes prevented them

You heard it here first.

That is exactly what I think.

A busted flush.

As for what they do with them, there is an hotel on the main road near where we are staying which is being used to house immigrants -no idea if they’re legal or not.
The inmates have to leave the hotel around 9am and seem to spend the rest of the day walking up and down the road in big groups. Anyone have any info on what is being done to help them?

Unsurprisingly I agree with the decision. Better weather is coming & the rubber dinghies will be out in force this summer. The present system is no deterrent. We’ve paid France millions to little effect. Stop paying the French. Give that money to finance the Army planes to process the migrants (mostly men, funny that) in Rwanda. They’ve all got smartphones. They’ll tell their mates not to bother coming over. Why pay a people smuggler to end up where you don’t want to be? I think this WILL work.

Apparently it’s costing the UK taxpayer millions every week to house them in hotels in Kent & surrounding areas, feed them, provide medical support and give them £39 a week each ‘pocket money’.

Most of the public are fed up seeing these crossings every day. UK Border Force provide a taxi service. Get them back to the airports where it’s a ridiculous situation.

This is no dead cat. It’s been 9 months in the planning, making it legally watertight so that the lefty lawyers can’t find a loophole. No wonder they’re all up in arms and the various charities! Their Ceo’s and staff derive a good living from the immigration roundabout. Pritti Patel is signing the documents in Rwanda right now. This will be very popular with most of the voting public. Just not on GN (natch).

Labour criticise it. What is their solution though? They just say ‘it’s very expensive and won’t work’. Hmm. Let’s see what the waiting migrants in France think of it eh?

Allsorts, re your post, you are right to look at facts squarely, and there is undoubtedly poverty among people who are already citizens of this country, and likely to get worse.

It's not an easy option but is is the right option to accept genuine refugees until we are at capacity. Only then will there be equality among peoples of the world.

I will now bury the dead cat and return to how useless Johnson is.

Cost?

£100000 per forced repatriation.

A guide to current events. Ukraine is a country at war used by Boris Johnson as a backdrop for dramatic visits and an excuse not to resign when found to have broken the law. Rwanda is a country in Africa being used by Patel to mount a distraction from Johnson lies and lawbreaking.

and the whole idea of sending people to developing countries is abhorrent. What next? sending those who require social care to Rwanda too?

I think the biggest problem is the price of housing and the fact housing is seen as a way to make profit, rather than them just being homes

So a question was asked this morning, but not answered by the government minister.

What if the young man managing to get to our beaches, was an interpreter working for the British in Afghanistan?
