Titchi tetchi Rishi hasn't got a clue and thinks rushing around on private planes and RAF helicopters on an endless round of PR exercises is normal behaviour for a competent PM.

      Hislop is a member of the media but I don't think you can say he represents it. Private Eye has a tiny circulation. Large sections of it are dedicated to disagreeing with and pointing out the hypocrisy of the big papers.
      More worrying is the increasing number of people who get their "news" exclusively from social media. Ian certainly doesn't represent that.

However: (1) Rwanda has had *10 years* to get itself equipped to process immigrants after Israel paid it (and Uganda) money between 2013-18 to take 4,000 Eritrean and Sudanese migrants between them (and, yes, Israel got those all planes flying to send them), let alone the £100m the UK has _already_ paid Rwanda; and (2) the final costs are reported to rise to £400m, yet all this for Rwanda to take just *200* migrants, although they say they're building up to take more ... eventually. Not even Brian Rix could have come up with a Whitehall farce as farcical as this. The Tories must be punished next year for their rank incompetence and carelessly spending other people's money.
