Pleased to hear that we have accepted a few asylum seekers from Rwanda😄😄

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.

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

The ‘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.

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

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

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

You couldn't make it up.. beggars belief

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.

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.

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?

Good story Bonnybanko!

Apparently Sunak has challenged the House of Lords to accept “the will of the people” and pass the shameful bill. I am one of the people and this is most definitely NOT my will!!

Thanks for the information. I find this hilarious . So Rwanda is a safe place. !!!

The Tories have principles and, as Grouch Marx said, if you don't like them, well...they have others.

This is brilliant ... 😂😂😂

Matt Hancock was doing an annual visit to a hospital. As always, he was looking for something to beat the NHS with to show how badly run and loss making things were there.
Hancock checked all the books and then did his tour. While on the tour he turned to the ward manager and said, "I notice you buy and use a lot of bandages. What do you do with the plastic middle out of the roll?" "Good question", noted the ward manager, "we save them up and send them back to Johnson and Johnson and every once in a while, they send us a free bandage roll. We like recycle whenever possible." "Oh" he said somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went in his tour to the next ward. "What about all these coloured casts you dispense. They seem to be rather a waste of money?"
"Ah, yes", replied the ward manager realizing that Hancock was trying to trap her, "we ask that any patient wishing a coloured cast donates £1 which is far in excess of the 10p the colouring actually costs". Hancock was determined to fluster the ward manager. So on they went to the next ward. "Well, what do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?" "Here too we do not like wasting", said the manager.
"What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the government in London and about once a year, at this exact time, they send us a complete prick". 🤣

😂😂😂😂😂

Me too.

Love it, Bonnybanko. Trouble is, Westminster never runs out of them.

I love that bonnybanko 🤣🤣🤣

Because no one else will cooperate with our crap schemes.

I still don’t get why Rwanda of all the places on earth.

It still feels as though we have children playing at being politicians. When are the adults going to arrive and sort things out?

It beggars belief. The sooner we get rid of this govt the better.

At least we can vote now Dinahmo. 😊
