BREAKING: Campaigners and asylum seekers have won a Court of Appeal challenge over the Government’s planned Rwanda deportation scheme.

Well at least that will save £169000 per person transported for the time.

Off to Supreme Court now I guess.

The reporting of a crime can hardly be called propaganda. Asylum seekers have not been conflated with rapists. One apparently committed rape. I have already said that some come from cultures which deem white women whores. We have seen evidence of that from asylum seekers and from men born here but raised in a particular culture.

Which culture is that?

I am trying to find the culture that sees white women as whores. I can’t find that culture yet - appreciate a reply.

Lay people cannot decide if a judgement is right or wrong. They can only say they like or don’t like the outcome. I don’t like the outcome and as the Lord Chief Justice dissented I hope an appeal will succeed.

Was the Court of Appeal right to judge Rwanda migrant plan 'unlawful'?

Asylum seeker, 33, charged with raping a woman in a Skegness park late at night was staying at taxpayer-funded hotel housing migrants on the seafront after 'arriving in the UK by dinghy just 40 days ago'

The Internet seems to amplify the extremes, Whitewave. Loud voices and mantra chanting make them appear in greater numbers than they are. Trump's "base" is only 9% and I doubt either extreme in this country is more than that.

However, we know that the more moderate people can get caught up and language is the greatest tool in doing this.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 02-Jul-23 09:23:13

Absolutely heartening to read this morning that contrary to what we read on threads like this the British people are one of the most sympathetic people in the world when it comes to asylum seekers, and far from rejecting them, feel that they should be accommodated.

So don’t believe everything you read on here folks.

That cheers me no end!

DaisyAnneReturns Sun 02-Jul-23 09:21:35

I am sure you will have used such identifiers for other cultures, GSM. I wonder when you have talked about the good things assylum seekers have done, or cricised the way they are treated once the are here?

I’m particularly alienated by (not)nicegranny3’s suggestion that asylum seeker may = rapist.
Yes some asylum seekers will be predators but not the majority, this demonising/othering of desperate people is a sad reflection of the lack of compassion and understanding shown by some

The Rwanda proposal was always dreadful. Now it’s illegal thank goodness

*I beg your pardon another poster calling me names just because you don't like my post taken from a newspaper, well I'm sorry but it happened an illegal who came off a dingy only 40 days before and was being put up in a Hotel in Skegness courtesy of the UK taxpayers raped a girl, perhaps you don't like the truth and I did not say that all illegals coming over the channel having paid criminal gangs to get here are rapists but the facts are that the ones who have destroyed their paperwork/IDs we know nothing about and infact they could be convicted criminals, murderers, there are supposedly 19 suspected ISIS soldiers being put up in hotels God only knows why they haven't been deported. Perhaps instead of calling posters names you should get your head out of the sand*

I dread to think which paper you were quoting from. People cannot be "illegal" as I am sure you know by now. However an asylum seekers arrives, if the say they they are claiming assylum they have done nothing "illegal".

You caĺl yourself "nice" but the use of such language is the first step in ghettoising a group. We have seen this done in the past and doing it now makes those who use such language no better than those we did it in the past. They are certainly not "nice" people, whether grandparents or anything else.

Conflating the words "asylum seeker" with the word rapist as if they are one and the same is disgusting. It reflects the use of the word "vermin" against Jews in the 1930s which conditioned people to think their "extermination" was acceptable. In the past (at least I hope it is past) in the USA, the conflation of colour with the word "rapist" let to vigilante attacks and even lynchings.

I think simply saying that you are not being "nice" is the least anyone can expect when they pick up on these extremist attempts to manipulate a population.

Freedom of speech is a privilege, not a right. This type of propaganda destroys others human rights.

It isn’t ‘ calling names’ to disagree with another poster. Incidentally, my head isn’t in the sand.

Nicenanny3 - while any rape is a disaster, how about getting recognising that the existing population committed 193,555 sexual offences in 2022! Not to mention the Met police’s offences of course!

Both cases are horrendous, but it shows we have enough criminals homegrown, without importing even more. Or in some cases, getting them taken of a plane deporting them, among them a Somali rapist.

I thought you might have been interested, that's all.

I have no idea what happened after I left. Why would I?

Hundreds have landed on beaches around the Dungeness area.
Non are documented they are picked up by vans waiting for them.
Told to me by a retired harbour master at Dover.

And deporting anyone to Rwanda is going to stop that?

When you lose your mobile you tend to go to the police station to report it/see if it’s been handed in don’t you? Well I do. Not rubbish at all. You may not like it, but it happened. And oddly enough my decorator had previously told me he had had exactly the same experience. I have no reason to doubt him, nor do you have reason to me.

I'm curious. How did the police deal with them?

Unfortunately some men arriving on boats are from cultures which consider white women are whores and have no respect for us. Note I said some, not all. And of course such people don’t always arrive on boats and some were born here to parents from such cultures.

So what do you want to happen. Get rid of everyone that isn’t part of the right culture? This almost smacks of rivers of blood rhetoric sad

Yes and bordering on racist rhetoric.

Which cultures would they be then?

Is there no truth in what I said?

Did you report the asylum seekers chanting “benefits, benefits” to the police when you were asking about a list mobile phone?

Siope Sat 01-Jul-23 20:18:50

How would YOU process a person with no ID, no papers, no passport, who you know absolutely nothing about. You don’t know their age, their nationality, whether they have a criminal background, whether they have any diseases, etc etc. Where would YOU start?

I’d start, as Assessing staff do, and have done for many years, by acting in accordance with the almost 100 page guidance (now two Guidances, one for pre-2022 applications, one for 2022 and years ff) for processing asylum claims, which explains in detail the stringent tests and benchmarks for plausibility and credibility for undocumented (and indeed for documented) asylum seekers.

I have no idea why some people don’t seem to understand that this is not a new issue, or that there are processes and systems, as well as is considerable experience and expertise in the government both within the UK relevant overseas departments, in dealing with it.
