Sending U.K. refugees to Rawanda

Like I said when you posted this on another thread...

I find myself in the unpleasant situation of agreeing with Nigel Farage.

But former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage told GB News: There are some saying Rwanda is working, it's a success because virtually no migrants have come now for the last six or seven days. Believe you me, I know this subject.

That is nothing to do with the prospect of being shipped off to Rwanda. It's because there has been a persistent, strong, north-easterly wind in the English Channel. When it gets calm again, the boats will continue to come.

Private Eye.

Doesn't he just "know this subject"! He seems obsessed with it.

Maybe the Coastguard could give him a job and he could do something useful for a change... he has those binoculars glued to his eyes most of the time. I think it's unhealthy. He's made his point, we've all heard it. Probably time to let it go. Asylum seekers are a tragedy and a problem, but they and it is here to stay - for many countries. A co-ordinated effort by affected nations to deal realistically with the issue is what's needed... maybe a 'summit' of world leaders. This one-man-band crusade by Farage is not going to help anyone or deal pragmatically with the problem.

For once it looks as though Farage was spot on - apparently several hundred crossed the channel today.

I wonder if the poor souls realised their fate?

Families in war torn countries club together to provide money for one of their young, healthy, competent young men to make the perilous journey to Europe, including the UK. That’s one of the reason refugees and asylum seekers who arrive by dangerous boats, are young men

I am strongly against taking in economic migrants unless they have skills to contribute that cannot be found among our own population. From the moment they step into this country these people are parasiting upon an inadequate infrastructure to which they have contributed nothing. They are taken in and given a medical examination, housed and provided with pocket money. When was the last time you were able to stroll in to see your GP? Do you get free housing and free meals?

Some of them have even had the cheek to stage a protest march because the wifi and food did not suit them. They did this at the height of the lockdown at a time when British born people would have risked arrest.

Those that are allowed to stay should pay an extra level of taxation for the first 10 years and have a lower level of access to resources such as housing, education and health services.

Deterrent seems to be working.

So how's that deterrent working for you now Maudi?

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.
