The Rwanda refugee deal is a distraction from the real issues in the asylum system - Free Movement

The government has invested huge political capital into its refugee deal with Rwanda. Equally immense resources of time and energy will also no doubt be

Long story short, the people being sent to Rwanda don't get any right to actually return to the UK, even if their asylum claim is successful. All that means is that they gain asylum in Rwanda. If the claim isn't successful, they get sent who knows where. What a country we're becoming.

According to an article in The Times last week, even the Home Office now admit that if the scheme goes ahead it will deal with only 300 or so people a year. I think the whole story is just to make it look like the governement is doing something, get some positive headlines and then blame liberal lawyers etc. when nothing happens.

Speak for yourself

We dont have to like it but its the truth.

We would both be expected to lay our lives down for the Queen if ever asked and I wouldn't hesitate to do it as unfair as it would be.

Do you think it's 1538?

You know way more about this stuff than me, but aside from the inhumane side to the idea, is it actually legal? Cos if so, there are some serious gaps in international law.

The guy who wrote the article is a highly respected immigration lawyer and he seems to think not. It's a horrible mess.

"Positive" headlines

"Positive" headlines

Yes, the majority of the country and press are in favour of it so the government will have received positive headlines from it. If you can't see that you really aren't paying attention.

The polling shows the country is opposed.

I can just imagine the hordes volunteering to become corpses for King Charles and Queen Camilla.

The royal family have got more military uniforms and medals than you can waggle a stick at, so best we send those heroes in to battle before any of our kids.

Why would you or anyone on here ever be expected to die for the queen you maniac?

Say you're on a ship and it hits an iceberg - one space left on a rescue boat for either you or the queen - who do you think is expected to take that seat?

In your weird make believe world it's not going to be a choice between you and the queen for the last seat, is it?

All hypothetical but in that instance you would be expected to give your seat to the queen so she can survive because whether we like it or not she's more important than us.
