  • ‘’For the Tory party and for the Prime Minister, Rwanda has become the saving grace and has become the way to win the election.’’
    Rishi Sunak has promised that flights deporting asylum seekers will take off for Rwanda within 10 to 12 weeks after the bill finally passed into law following months of controversy and parliamentary ping pong.
    This week various guests on Times Radio shared their thoughts on the Rwanda Bill.

    If they say the flights will take off in 12 weeks, even if they send a few thousand off to Rwanda, at the current levels of crossings from France, a further 33,600 could arrive before wheels even leave the ground. The little-talked-about side of this agreement That it is an exchange agreement, "As we get smoke and mirrored because of a policy" so in fact, they could send 200 out on the first flight and return with 400 so there is a possibility the numbers would increase.

    Nothing will save the Tories. Especially not this pathetic attempt to get the racist vote. They already have that and yet they are doing so badly. Why? Because the majority of the electorate are not far right racists and decent people see right through Sunak and see this policy as the failure it has been and will always be.

      Block asylum claimed by illegal entry into the UK and refer them to our embassy’s.

      @Zarken26 13 днів тому

      Dude, wanting to deport foreign criminals who pay thousands of Euros to people smugglers so they can ignore your laws and force their way in to your country, then demand taxpayer funded freebies does not make you racist ffs...
      You people have no clue what the far right actually is anymore and just accuse people who aren't zealous socialist freaks with this useless label. It has been misused so much over the last decade that it no longer holds any emotional power anymore.
      This is why moderates do not trust leftists when it comes to border security... Those freaks see any form of border security as racist. They treat genuine refugees and illegal migrants paying thousands to leave a perfectly safe country as the same thing, which they are not... Perfect example being the Ukrainian refugees who are women, children and elderly. Compared that to the hordes of middle eastern adventurers who are 99% young men.

    Not a cat in hells chance. The Rwanda deal that we’re paying a fortune for, means for every one we send to Rwanda, we take an injured or disabled Rwandan into the U.K. While I feel totally sorry for people caught up in war zones, our NHS is not even close to coping with the strain of the illegal immigrants as it is.

    No, it's not a hope. It's insanity. Leaving aside the question of whether it is the right thing to do, the vast majority of the tiny percentage of the population who will cast their vote based on this are already voting Tory. The idea that this is going to give them a big boost in the polls is fantasy.

    Labour’s track record from 1997-2010:
    - introduced NHS privatisation in 2003
    - privatised 7% of the NHS IN 13 years
    - introduced PFI’s adding billions of debt to the NHS
    - Sold a hospital to the private sector in 2009
    - approved Grenfell cladding in 2007
    - Bought in tuition fees in 2008 (no wonder kids of today are saddled with mountains of debt!!)
    - scrapped student grants in 1999
    - funded bank bailouts in 2008
    - started disability assessments in 2008 (no wonder we have too many lazy workers!)
    - forced Windrush checks in 2009
    - legalised zero hour contracts in 1999 (modern slavery and is absolutely CRIMINAL)
    - bedroom tax in 2008
    - handed the EU powers via Lisbon Treaty in 2007 (no wonder we decided to implement Brexit!!)
    - built 3000 council homes in 13 YEARS!
    - started an illegal war in 2003
    - allowed net migration to increase to 2.5 MILLION
    - sold off our gold reserves.
