The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

[bluescreen]

Can asylum seekers turn up in Rwanda and fill in their paperwork then fly direct to uk when approved?

I think the idea is that they stay in Rwandan concentration camp reception centre until they are 'processed'. If their application is successful they are granted a 5 year visa to stay in Rwanda, and work. If not they get deported back to where they came from.

This applies only to 'illegal migrants'. Bear in mind that anyone arriving in the UK without having previously applied for asylum will be treated as an illegal migrant.

So it's utterly inhumane illegal bollocks. And it can't possibly work. It's a Hail Mary pass to secure votes in the May locals, IMO. And deserves to sink the Tories forever.

Thats the crux of it for me. If I was as self centered and uncaring as Patel Id deport her and her family and give their space to somebody more kind and charitable

Do we have any reason to suspect her family deserve that (or deserve her) Or are they mortified?

Let's put it this way, they deserve her more than we deserve her

The Archbishop believes that those of us who don't perform well in life and get refused a visa to heaven are heading to hell so it's a bit rich of him to condemn this bonkers plan

But Priti. How much worse can she get? What next..

And Jesus said: “A man was going down from his home, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. Johnson and Patel happened to be going down the same road, and when they saw the man, they told him to fuck off to Rwanda"

Of course, the Archbishop would then believe that the Home Secretary and Prime Minister will go to hell.

It'll emerge kagame donated money to the Tory party

i might have had this the wrong way round, that it has been the tory party donating to kagame: Forget Plebgate. It's for handing £16m of our money to an African despot that 'Thrasher' Mitchell should finally resign

Has he done anything to be condemned for other than being a religious minister?

it's VISIT rwanda, not TRY TO SCRAPE A LIVING AFTER BEING DEPORTED TO RWANDA

That sponsorship has always been very dicey. And I know a few Arsenal supporters who quit as a result of this. The country's population is largely impoverished and the government given to the odd human rights violation, well many human rights violations. but hey who cares.

Let's just take their money in exchange for putting their logo all over their stadium and players.

His association with John Smyth doesn't look wonderful.

Not sure how much worse it is than "Fly Emirates", tbh.

Being an old Etonian is more than enough.

Being an old Etonian is more than enough.

In some ways you have to blame the parents/guardians, rather than the students for that.

It'd be an interesting experiment to put one identical twin in Eton, and the other through state education, and look at who was the bigger cunt forty years later.

Back on topic, the nicest thing I can say about Priti Patel is that she didn't go to Eton.

I am hesitant to say this but from stuff I hear like 3rd hand , it’s seen as a great idea by many. Ticking the boxes

Why the fuck Rwanda? Is it because it's a desperately poor country, and can thus be persuaded to take people by dangling a bit of money?

i think it's cos this tory government have history with the government there, having shovelled money in kagame's direction over the past decade

I'll put this here as well. Some contextualising of the Rwanda policy. Boiling a frog – the Tory march to authoritarianism - Anarchist Communist Group

Think the saddest part of this is that a lot of people appear not to give a shit.

As long as they are not personally affected. It’s so sad what we’ve become.

Yes

[Wilf]

Do we know who might be mobilising against this? I've just seen a couple of local protests so far. Linton On Ouse - where they are planning to imprison people pre deportation - might be worth a visit.

Nobody will be approved. By 'processing' they mean 'warehousing'.
