The Tories are going to die on this hill aren’t they?

Apparently Sunak has challenged the House of Lords to accept ā€œthe will of the peopleā€ and pass the shameful bill. I am one of the people and this is most definitely NOT my will!!

Good story Bonnybanko!

Since nothing else is working I’m prepared to give the Rwanda scheme the benefit of the doubt.
If it ever does get going that is.

Blimey! What rights are you happy to lose?

Presuming that the whole Rwanda scheme ever gets off the ground I wonder if anyon really believes it will work? I think it would take hundreds of plane loads to have an effect on people waiting to cross the channel. If they are willing to risk a dangerous crossing like the channel in an overcrowded dinghy they are hardly going to put off by stories about some people being sent to Rwanda. If they raise concerns they will no doubt be assured by the traffickers that it won't apply to them.

I see that security people are practising in a hired hangar forcing distressed asylum seekers onto a plane where they will be secured to seats before transportation.

I bet the reciprocal asylum seekers from Rwanda aren’t forced onto planes and tied to seats.

What a merry-go-round the government has agreed to! Although I suspect they will do everything they can to stop pictures/videos being published of the forced transportation.

Do you have a link to this information whitewave as I’ve googled and the stories say unavailable

You couldn't make it up.. beggars belief

Deeds this is exactly what I think. The shameless people who take money from the desperate have a very good

Sorry - posted too soon.. little earner going They will be unlikely to tell their " clients " that they'll be in line for a plane to Rwanda. There will be rhetoric about it not applying to them for a number of reasons and this is likely to be believed by their would- be travellers

It was on the BBC news app. I can’t do links - sorry. I could copy and paste if you want me to.

The ā€˜clients’ all have mobile phones and are in touch with what’s happening in the world, they aren’t some remote South American tribe.There will be much said about the Rwanda scheme online if it actually ever happens, and they will know all about it.

If they know all about it, Oreo, then they will know that their chances of being actually sent to Rwanda are negligible. That there is huge opposition to the Rwanda scheme and that the chance of it being enacted and implemented before the GE is very low.

They will also know that the Home Office is so incompetent that it manages to 'lose' a great many asylum seekers once they are in the UK. Some 4,500 that they've 'lost' isn't it?

I suspect that they can calculate that the odds on not being on 'the list', and their chance of being 'lost' are so high that it's well worth attempting to reach the UK.

It is perfectly obvious.

Most who are tempted to get on a boat will never have heard of the Rwanda scheme.

Those few who have heard of it will calculate that if about one in a hundred "boat people" are to be sent to Rwanda, then the chances are it won't be me.

No deterrent whatsoever.
