Suella Braverman says today's Supreme Court ruling against the UK government's plan to send immigrants to Rwanda is a disappointment for most people.

Not for me it isn't.

AIBU? Am I in the minority?

I'm delighted. Maybe we can finally remember that most British people have morals.

I really want her to f off into obscurity. Preferably somewhere else. Can we deport her for being a danger to the country?

Well, I'm not. Bring in safe and legal routes. Get enough staff in to clear the backlog and then process the people who come in. If that can be done efficiently - including removal of people who don't have a genuine claim - then the UK won't be seen as an easy target.

Oh, and collaborate internationally, including with those people on the other side of the Channel, what are theyb called again? Oh yeah, the EU.

100% this

And the govt. are presenting themselves as the warriors against a problem that they have solely and entirely created.

The safe and legal routes that are touted do not apply to the vast vast majority of people who seek asylum - including all those who are granted it in the UK.
I work in immigration law and if it wasn’t so distressing it would be funny (IYSWIM) because the actual reality is so far removed from the posturing it feels like a bad comedy.

Braverman and her cronies don't even care if they never send any asylum seekers to Rwanda. They just want to look like they want to so they can win votes from a certain group of voters. Now they don't have to do anything and can blame it all on meanie lefty judges.

There are British territories that could be used. Places where there was not a genocide in recent memory. If you accepted the case for those who did not come to the country on a visa or pre-approved scheme should not wait in the UK whilst a claim is processed.

No, you’re not. I’m sick of being gaslit by the govt. They’re not even doing it well, as if we’re just a pack of idiots.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the "system is rigged against the British people" (from BBC News)

FFS.
