Re: This flight to Rwanda

and yet everyone from africa and the middle east wants to be 'british' perhaps they love their queen and their trifles

I'd place a large wager that more Africans want to come to the US than the UK.

One solution. Lengthy jail terms for anyone employing illegal immigrants for cheap labour and take assets.

As for proper immigration why not get them to do the jobs we need. Transport is in chaos due to understaffing. Same with the NHS etc.

solution :

setup a British centre in Calais where people can apply for asylum before they cross the border, and if it is granted arrange safe transport for them.

Maybe properly establish it's actually a problem that needs a solution. Given this ill thought through plan, its seems clear to me that it's not a massive concern, they just needed a few column inches to keep people like you happy so hatched this sh1t show.

Does Macron support this? What if those who fail or are tired of waiting still sail to the UK anyway?

Shocking as it may seem, but different people have different concerns, and are capable of thinking about more than one thing at once. I think it's reasonable to object to what's been happening tbh.
