Rwanda ruling

[OwlBabiesAreCute]

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?

It’s either not reading/understanding or not caring

the headline is attractive and supports their view so they can ignore any facts that disprove it

It reads like something pretty vile so I’d suggest if that’s an error you get it removed

She's my MP.

Anyone want to see the people opinions should read the responses to her FB page post.

I'm guessing no one really thinks this is the will of the people or against British people.

You'd expect her Fab page to be full of her usual praise gods.

although it's been proposed

Who has proposed it?

And why, exactly, are they "British territories"? Oh yes, because of COLONIALISM, aka helping yourself to other people's countries and property all over the world. Perhaps start by making reparations. And learning some basic history.

Do you not understand sarcasm?

2 of us have missed it so I don’t think it’s as obvious as you think it is…

Actually no, it’s sarcasm but that’s not really making it any better. It’s a poor “joke”

I work with asylum seekers and am pro-immigration. I am also massively against the Rwanda proposal.

However, I don't think it's as simple as just increase the number of decision makers.

Massive amounts of resources and investment needs to be made a local authority level. If the 100K+ people in the asylum system get their decisions expedited, where will they go? Asylum seekers are in Home Office provided accommodation, when they are told to move out, there will be a massive influx onto the local authority Homelessness Teams.

I do agree about the levels of Foreign Offenders that are in the asylum system, and those abusing the system (Deliveroo anyone?) is where the Home Office focus needs to be.

I'm sorry you didn't understand that I was pointing out that just because (the pp thought) Germany was doing something doesn't mean it was the right thing for the UK to be doing.

And I’m sorry you don’t understand that a couple of us pointing out your joke has landed badly isn’t a personal insult, and you’re allowed to say “my bad” and get it removed without the patronising responses

It's populist bullshit. 'The people' are some overwhelming folksy mass that will this, want that, somehow it doesn't chime with what the actual people in the country vote for, say or think.

Trump was always talking about 'the people'.

I dream about Braverman taking a plane to Rwanda.

General rule that I follow: if Cruella thinks it's a good idea it's a fucking abysmal idea.

Some disappointment here. Now Bravermen et al. can just go "well we'd have stopped the boats but the leftie lawyers stopped us. We are but poor martyrs standing for Britannia."

My absolute sympathy for the handful of poor souls actually shipped out under the policy but I feel it would have been better in the long run for the policy to be allowed to run and fail abysmally.

£140 million pounds of our money was given to Rwanda for this scheme, and not a single person has been sent, and now its been confirmed that the scheme has been unlawful from the beginning.

£140 million of our money absolutely wasted.

Sewerella griping that the ruling is 'unfair on those who play by the rules' after her flagship policy has just been ruled illegal is breath-taking in terms of the sheer brass neck. Shouldn't be surprised since it has long been abundantly clear she has no shame, humanity, or much in the way of intelligence.

Cherchez les funds.

You can bet your arse that somewhere a Tory MP has pocketed a packet.

The thing is, I'm not convinced the government ever intended the policy to work otherwise they'd have no way to go 'look over there'.

If they did, they'd have legal routes and a way into work to counter our lack of people to do jobs (since brexit).

But instead they proposed an expensive (£169k per person plus £140m), illegal, distasteful policy that does the Uk brand no good whatsoever.

I didn't take it as a personal insult. Nor am I going to ask for it to be removed.

Rwanda is a lovely country and everyone we met was great. Don't wish her on them.

Poor Rwandans. Surely there's an unpopulated atoll somewhere she could go.

100% this.

That 140 million could have gone towards a pay rise for the NHS workers or the teachers
It's just criminal what they do with our money
( I know this is a very simplistic view, but it is just bad and they get away with it too )

I'm not disappointed. We need to find a sensible strategy to deal with immigration. The Rwanda plan is not it.

(And what is with the bizarre posts about the Germany post? That was obviously sarcasm. Have they not taught the bots to recognise that yet?)

Only a psychopath would be happy with sending vulnerable people to Rwanda.
