    £1.8 million per person to send to Rwanda 🇷🇼 Clearly the businessmen who control the parliament and its MPs WON. Not the ordinary people of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Get the main two parties out of parliament in the next election 🗳️
  • @leo7leo
    So, a refugee comes to Britain expecting to live there and….all of sudden he’s shipped to Rwanda? Seriously? Rwanda, a third world country, as bad as the one refugee fled? What a lack of passion and commitment is that by the UK government? If it was to end like this, it shouldn’t have created a refugee scheme in the first place!! That’s omission!!

    there is only one policy that would work, and that is to make asylum claims obligatory from outside the UK, not from within the UK.
  • @monkeyboy8424
    Even after big splash Penny Mordaunt replaces nowhere man Ritchie Sunak, the Tories face extinction at the election.
  • @h77137
    Any reason for England to keep their ties in using their resources... Smart Move🤢
  • Will our health and dental care suffer more, as Tories divert billions of pounds to this deal, instead of fixing healthcare ? Plus, so few will be sent to Rwanda (hundreds), that the odds of being one of them, are slim as so many come (tens of thousands) ! They'll keep coming ? For the Rwanda plan to really work, it will costs tens of billions ?
  • Total cobblers, the planes would have to run more journeys than london buses to clear the backlog 😅. In the meantime more people will arrive so it will become like a merry go round.our grandchildren will still be dealing with this

    The current bill has not been tested yet. If it succeeds in a few weeks time and the flights are able to take off, then the UK government doesn't have to leave the ECHR. Simple facts
  • @Tricky850
    hope it works out, cause the boats need to be stopped
  • @robmule4647
    In reality very few if any will actually be sent. But more and more will continue to come.
  • @Ash2717
    Can we start by shipping fishi sunak first.
  • honestly if this carrys on with this disproportionate amount of these immigrants being men we are heading fior serious trouble men with no available women is not a good idea it ends badly.
