Rwanda

Lee Anderson MP ?

Have Faith.

I see a few people are complaining there are not enough people on this flight tomorrow and I share the frustration.

However, this is a landmark judgement today which allows us to take people to Rwanda to process Asylum claims.

This is a massive victory and should not be talked down. Its been a real battle behind the scenes and I know this because I have been part of it.

Polite request, please get behind us because we are on your side unlike Labour, the lefty lawyers and human rights bosses on 6 figure salaries.

No other party would do this.

vile

When I read Anderson's tweet (if that's what it is), I thought, "this is war". The people that are meant to represent our interests are telling us that Labour isn't on our side, that the lawyers are lefties and the rich elite concerned about human rights is out to get us. He's not just ignorant, he's dangerous. Today's a turning point, I think.

No other party would do this? Just the fascists.

he is dangerous, I agree

So the name calling starts par for the course it seems when the left don't like your posts.

Lee Anderson is a British Conservative politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Ashfield since 2019. Prior to his parliamentary career he was a Labour councillor in Ashfield and later a Conservative councillor in Mansfield after defecting to the party in 2018

He was Labour ?

Oh give over. You're not influencing anybody and it just looks pathetic.

Lee Anderson was suspended from Labour so he's got a grudge. He was the man who said we only had so many foodbanks because people don't know how to cook.

Fascists.

Some just can't help themselves with the name calling can they just proves my point.

They're fascists.

Head exploded yet?

Just a thought maybe a naive thought, but a thought nevertheless. Why are Ukraine asylum seekers not being processed in Rwanda? OH reckons it’s because they don’t look like us.

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking today.

Why are Rwandan refugees coming here?
In fact, why are there still people escaping Rwanda?
If it's a place from which to escape, then why are we sending people there?

Apart from anything else, it's totally illogical

The whole government is illogical!

Maudi, I have asked you before to justify your unpleasantness towards lawyers whose role is to support people through the legal process, or prosecute those who break the law. I repeat, if you were accused of a crime , you might be inclined to call on the services of this group which you hold in such contempt.
All lawyers are " lefty"? Please support you argument with data. And no, I have not called anyone names in this post.

Sorry Maudi but you are absolutely not on my side or on the side of any of my friends or family.

The Prime Minister says that the Rwandan centre where the first refugees are to be sent is a model that the rest of the world could follow.

So why can't we follow it?

Oh dear, I only got to page 4 of this thread and realised it’s mostly an echo chamber. What a shame. Free speech is a thing of the past.

Yes, I have someone here from the Thought Police telling me what to type.

???

This thread consists of five pages of many people from all walks of life putting their case both for and against this policy. Literally anyone can come on here and put their case.

What were you hoping to hear Dizza25?

What is it you want to say ?

Just wanted to say it’s an echo chamber, that’s it. Not a lot of balance IMO, not stating any opinion on the subject matter, just an observation as I see it.

Shocking situation. I really feel for those poor people being deported.

I'm only a quarter of the way down page 2.

It doesn't sound so bad if you change to 100 posts per page ?

I'm not echoing anyone.

Nor do I really have the Thought Police here.
All views are my own.

It's one of the most ridiculous ideas from an increasingly ridiculous government.

I'm not a loony leftie.
