A thank you to Brexiteers.

Thanks to Brexit asylum seekers can now be shunted off to Rwanda. Another great win!


Mr Johnson added: 'The British people voted several times to control our borders – not to close them, but to control them.

'So just as Brexit allowed us to take back control of legal immigration by replacing free movement with our points-based system, we are also taking back control of illegal immigration with a long-term plan for asylum in this country.

'It is a plan that will ensure the UK has a world-leading asylum offer, providing generous protection to those directly fleeing the worst of humanity, by settling thousands of people every year through safe and legal routes.'

ah it will get stopped by the courts and then they will blame the EU for not being able to throw people off to a country

that even the UK was asking for investigations into their human right records as late as last year

anything to distract from breaking lockdown rules the bastards
 
Comes to something when your hopes rest on the upper chamber. Never seen a gvt flail around slinging shit every which way so much as this one. What majority?

Apparently, Blunket's original idea ( actually it was a Demos publication) was that every asylum seeker arriving in Britain should be sent back to the processing centre in Russia or Albania.

 
ok so he suggested it the UN and Europe, well fella in Germany was against the idea

and some wanky think tank thought it sounded fun as long as the EU brought it across the board

fair do's for the history lesson
 
in Blunkett case at least he was not backing the idea to save his own political skin after lying to pariliment and the country repeatly
May well have been his motive, who knows? However, the idea was first mooted in a policy document, the previous year, after Blair called for 'fresh' ideas on how to reduce the numbers of asylum seekers. I think it was then that Demos worked it up into a fully blown thing and the idea got as far as being considered by the European Commission until the UN paper won the day and Blunket withdrew his support from the proposal.
 
In Blunkett's case, at least he wasn't deporting them to Rwanda and leaving them there. He was talking of having the applications processed so they could come to UK if successful. Patel is just proposing to dump them in Rwanda and if successful they get to stay in Rwanda, if not they have to leave and go... god knows where.

Home Office insiders confirmed the plan was to give detainees a “one-way ticket” to the country and “encourage” them to establish new lives there.

Sure but both schemes started with the premise that numbers of asylum seekers were too high, that too many were bogus, and that they should be dealt with at an arms length in a processing centre that was not in the UK. ie the idea was to deter the flow and reduce numbers

The proposal of Russia being a likely site should be viewed in the context of the fact that the Blair and Blunket Labour Party were backing the Russians at the time.

 
Utterly appalling , inhumane and bonkers idea

Everyone and their dog knows that Blunkett is a complete cunt but this isn't a competition. If it was though the current crop would win by a country mile.

Sure, I wasn't remotely defending Blunkett but saying that Patel is even worse, in a way scarcely imaginable.
