Re: This flight to Rwanda
this policy is purely for the headlines, there is no substance behind it other than to look strong on immigration. people are being treated shabbily for a few tawdry votes.
there has been no formal calculation or analysis into whether this will actually reduce the number of people crossing the channel, the government have admitted this, and there is no defined number of people they will deport before they're done with this ludicrous policy.
planes cost cost a lot of money to charter if it's only for 6 people. I wonder how much per person deported this whole shabby business has cost. well into the hundreds of thousands I expect

I know a Rwandan fella in Barry who escaped the civil war and lives here
He says the country is still incredibly corrupt and people vanish ......and are clearly executed..... on a regular basis
And we are dealing with them ?
It's almost a case of ......is this woman serious ? Yep

There’s a culture war to be won though and Tories in trouble (especially this Tory party) will turn to the immigration card because, sadly, it will help recreate the spirit of Brexit Britain 2016 - immigration played a decisive part in the outcome of the Referendum and then it just stopped being mentioned almost as if some were embarrassed by their behaviour during the campaign. Will Self was right, if you were a racist, what was the point of voting remain? I still believe that while it’s completely wrong to suggest all leave voters were racists, I certainly think there were enough of them to account for the difference in the vote between the two sides .
Seems like there’s been developments overnight anyway.

This, totally agree. It makes me sick to the bottom of my stomach that they are using the most vulnerable human beings as pawns in their sordid, racist games.
You even had Tom Hunt the Tory MP blaming those arriving on boats for the fact you can’t get a GP appointment or a house. Wait until he discovers that his Tory government has peen in power for 12 plus years and their underfunding/austerity/miss management has caused all this.

Re: This flight to Rwanda
Labour mp was on earlier talking about negotiating with the EU as we used to return some there.
Yea that's not happening is it pal.
None of them got a clue.
You can't just have illegals crossing the channel but none of them got a scooby on what to do about it.
I agree these flights were never getting off the ground.

"I can't believe the other side waging a culture way!" followed by wild accusations of leave voters being racist (with zero evidence) on a topic that is nothing to do with the referendum (illegal immigration is an issue in or out of the EU and globally) and bafflingly backed up by millionnaire EU home owning Will Self, as if that somehow gives the point legitimacy.
Lets break it down:
1 - In respect of immigration, leaving the EU treats people equally wherever they are from. EU immigration policy undeniably favours people from an overwhelmingly white place (the EU) over people from an overwhelmingly non white place (the rest of the world). Without a question, the EU's immigration policy is more racist.
2 - The EU itself has built fences and used water cannon against migrants. I mean, do you guys just have your fingers in your ears and your hands over your eyes or what? Have you seen what France did to people in Calais? Spain in Melilla? Greece in Turkey? Poland at their borders? Honestly, I can spell it out to you, but it's better you look yourself.
3 - Some of you buy into this absolute myth that Britain is some racist hell hole, for what? For not supporting endless numbers of people arriving via the channel having paid criminal gangs? By nature all of the people will not be British citizens, but doing something about it doesn't make a country racist, it makes them responsible. Putting aside the irony that it's white liberals that are telling the immigrants how racist our country is (in which case why are they coming here), there is no basis for the argument. None at all.
Honestly, these flights will take off, and rightly so. You cannot have a situation where anyone who wants to come here can do so. It is a totally unsustainable situation and you need to come up with some better policies than 'uR aLl RacIsTs' because if and when Labour are in power, there is no chance whatsoever they would tolerate this either.

The whole point of this shameful fiasco is to appeal to the knuckle dragging wing of the Tory Party/UKIP etc and and it's working.
I can see Boris and Co electioneering on the subject and blaming the "loony lefty, labour supporting lawyers" blocking this policy and claiming the humanitarian high ground in trying (not) to put the traffickers out of business.

Re: This flight to Rwanda
What happens when a refugee who has been despatched to Rwanda is advised in due course that his or her application for refugee status in the UK has been declined?
-
Re: This flight to Rwanda
That's actually one of the issues here - people being sent to Rwanda won't have their UK asylum application considered. They will only be given the option to claim for Rwandan asylum.
I also think it's really important to differentiate between this policy and a general policy of removing people to their country of origin or another country where they have a connection where a claim has been refused. In this Rwanda policy, people have no connection to Rwanda and haven't actually had a decision on the application they lodged in the UK. Where someone has had their application properly considered in the UK and it's been rejected (with any appeals being heard) then removal from UK must be an option.
I don't think you can characterise that as saying "bUT iTs RaCIsT".

Any substance to that? It's 2022 not 1622. The church and royal family don't determine immigration policy.

Incredible - and the information in the video from Sky News appears to confirm your statement. I wonder how many people have expressed their support for this policy without knowing about this aspect.

It's possibly the first time since 1622 that they have jointly and openly criticised Tory policy though. Johnson's got what he wanted today from the ECHR and perhaps he's worked out that he hasn't got a reputation to uphold anymore but it's hard to see how you can dig up from policies like this disgrace . Let's all enjoy the rush to the bottom before he finally goes.

Again, what is your solution? Or is it okay for a presumably infinite number of people to arrive having paid thousands to criminal gangs to do so?
Is it racist to deny anyone who wants to come here entry? Is it racist to try and break this trade? Should we do nothing about it? Should we do more, like they do in the EU? Watercannons and fences?
If you are going to claim the moral highground, it's better to do so on a solid structure rather than clouds. What actually would you do about it?
For all the noise, I still haven't heard a single solution. I recollect someone did say that we should process them in France - without checking whether France would support that (they wouldnt).

Talking of wild :hehe:
I’m not going to apologise for having a different view to you - in fact, I’m pleased I have if you don’t think that anyone voted in the Referendum (or in any election) on racial grounds.
We’ve got a UK Government that dabbles when it comes to the really important issues and can only come out with slogans, gimmicks, law breaking and attacks on the “woke” by means of policies - all the while the official opposition treads on eggshells for fear of offending someone.

Bob, it is the party that you vote for that was recently chastised for racism by the EHRC - but I would never make nudge nudge wink wink allegations that all Labour voters are racists, or perhaps some but not all are etc. Honestly, the lack of self awareness of some of you guys! :facepalm:
Of course there are some racists in any society, but your argument is weak and unfair to just throw it at one side, and it is nothing to do with this case, as you well know.
You don't have any evidence to support what you say, which rather suggests you have no solution to the topic in hand, so are merely distracting by casting aspersions to deflect away from that?

I would suggest that almost all the people crossing would have zero idea the policy even exists, and those that do know will probably take their chances.
