Rwanda

Whatever happens in the court case, the truth is that looking ahead this crises is going to get a lot worse as the earth heats up and starvation drives human populations to seek shelter.

Whatever the rights and wrongs, Prince Charles should stay right out of it.

He should take a lesson from his mother - do not involve royalty in government decisions.

As a side issue, has Charles offered up any accommodation to help with all this? ?

I don't recognise this country any more. We used to be known for fairness and decency. The whole thing is heartbreaking. I feel ashamed.

It takes something for Prince Charles to comment about the government! ( if the source is true)
The whole thing is disgraceful and inhumane.

Ww2 you are right. It’s horrible.

It will be a national disgrace if this flight goes ahead - I hope the lawyers can prevent it.

Well she’s got the ok to send the first refugees next week!

Even Prince Charles has complained about it according to The Times online:
“He said he was more than disappointed at the policy,” the source said. “He said he thinks the government’s whole approach is appalling. It was clear he was not impressed with the government’s direction of travel.”

For once, I agree.

It’s shocking given not so long ago there were accusations of dreadful atrocities. Why Rwanda anyway. Am I right thinking it has recently joined the Commonwealth? Unusual given that most countries have left, but I may be wrong.

I see that the government lied about the UN, when they said that the UN said that the U.K. government was acting legally.

No surprise I suppose.

UN lawyers have told Patel that the plan is entirely illegal.

“ Home Office has spent >£50,000 on PR for its Rwanda immigration plan.

Including £14k+ hiring a comms firm to develop branding and messaging for the policy and tens of thousands on social media ads.”

An obscene waste of money

The right wing tabloids will be demonising lawyers and judges again... labelling them enemies of the people.

It will be a national disgrace if this flight goes ahead - I hope the lawyers can prevent it.

Patel’s intention of transporting the first tranche of asylum seekers has been at least delayed and hopefully prevented by judicial query.

If any government ministers, particularly Home Office ministers, give interviews about the Rwanda flight being “stopped by lawyers“ please ask the question: were you advised by your own lawyers that the policy would be unlawful?

Remember when she said “As the daughter of a migrant, I know the sanctuary, welcome and opportunities that Britain provides. Regaining control of our borders does not mean slamming the door shut.”

She's apparently forgotten.

I can't think of one occasion where this lady has shown any compassion.

Tens of thousands of Rwandans are being forcibly displaced as a result of war with The Congo and rebels. Rwanda now has a huge refugee problem of its own.
