Denmark, that will be the EU Denmark have been doing it for sometime. Boris is hardly the first criminal PM, surely the Labour Blair has that msntel

You might want to check the definition of convict, it would at least make your posts accurate in form albeit still silly in content

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

But isn't one option a return to your country of origin?

They would end up in Rwanda either way, wouldn't they?

It doesn't have any similarities at all! There has been talk about offshore processing for some time, but where to do it has always been the problem. This seems like a very expensive compromise to me, and the more I look, the more it looks like a convenient political smokescreen than anything real.

You wanted to dump people in some imaginary, unoccupied space where they could build things on their own. This is pretty unrealistic. Yours was nuts.

The best this could be is a deterrent, but I doubt it will be. Unless it actually starts to happen, people won't be deterred and if it does, they will still arrive, but instead of surrendering will try to disappear, thus demanding huge resources to stop them doing so, and detecting them if they manage it.

Mind you, not being able to count them might suit the government. Out of sight, out of mind! Maybe that's the real purpose! Get this off the front pages.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I automatically assume these days that any government policy is dishonest immoral but mostly, just will not work.

And they never prove me wrong.

The UK doesn't even currently have an immigration problem, a meagre +34,000 net migration.

The most economical and efficient solution is simply to admit immigrants, subject to the necessary checks, and introduce them to work and society so they can contribute.

The policy of barring asylum seekers from working has no logic it typifies the malice and spite of the tories.

The tories have created their own immigration industry, designed to play on fears and perpetuate them in office, it is now 1.5 billions a completely unnecessary waste of money and resources.

They know this is not going to work but its actually a good reason to introduce it and they blow money left right and centre just until the next impractical and often illegal scheme comes along.

Despite what the majority of those on this thread might think, most normal voters will look at this as a pretty unpleasant policy. It won't deter people traffickers one iota.
Its a great deal for Rwanda though. They are a very young country in a rebuilding process in deperate need for investment into their health and school systems.
It will be challenged legally. Most things that Priti Patel comes up with are.
