I was annoyed when KC and the Arch of C spoke against Rwanda - we need to get control and as far as I can see they have no ideas and aren’t giving any of their land or palaces to help.
There is going to be international migration but I’d rather we had a say in the matter - not the relatively wealthy (paying people traffickers) single, mostly male economic migrants.
More starving Sudanese ,homeless Dyrians etc etc

We certainly do need to take control.
And I would agree starting by getting rid of the monarchy and House of Lords in which the Archbishop sits would be a jolly good start.

A very sweeping statement. I think I am a decent human being. I don't agree that predominantly males are paying a lot of money to the people smugglers to come to the UK illegally. There are legal routes that should be used. I had a student who came from Syria. His Uncle and Aunt had been bombed in their home and killed. His father was a doctor and applied to bring his wife two children and his orphaned nephew to the UK. They were granted asylum legally. People like this, families with children, are waiting patiently in war torn countries whilst risking their lives everyday. Their asylum is slowed down because of illegal immigrants who don't come from war torn countries, e.g. Albania, and really are just economic migrants rather than genuine asylum seekers, who jump the queue. The Rwandian policy just seeks to move the economic migrants off to Rwanda who has agreed to take them. They will be safe there. They won't be persecuted if gay or transgender. But these economic migrants don't want that because they want to be accommodated in the UK where they can both claim benefits and operate drug gangs. There is no shame at all about wanting to put legal asylum seekers before illegal ones and you are deluded if you think there is.

Do we have to go back over the fact that it is perfectly legal to travel in any manner to a country and claim asylum?

Please save us from it.

I am sadly not surprised at this alleged behaviour of Boris Johnson, after the threats re Darius Guppy, to a London BBC journalist, and I would not be surprised if it has happened in his private life.

The Rwanda policy could only deal with a fraction of the number of people crossing in small boats, to a country where there was a genocide in living memory. Processing and deciding on claims in weeks not years whilst less headline making, is what should be done.

Above all, don't complain if you take illegal drugs as without such a trade, far fewer Albanians would be making the crossings.

@caringcarer

What a lot of nonsense.

You sound like the average Daily Mail reader gone wild.

Rwanda is not a safe country.

Refugees are not fleeing persecution and war-torn countries to ''claim benefits and operate drug gangs''.

Under British law, you must be physically present in the UK in order to claim asylum.

The governmen has made sure the''safe and legal routes'' to claim asylum don't actually exist for the majority...

I am not ''deluded''.

I just happen to have a conscience and I don't get my information from right propaganda and the Home Office's rhetoric.

I look at the actual facts. And so does the King it seems.

Boris Johnson is a complete arsehole but I still don't believe the story. I imagine it's some spin in support of shoring up support for the royal family, in collusion with the DMail.
