The Suella Braverman/Rwanda abomination.

https://twitter.com/bbcquestiontime/status/1674524653539282945


It’s been almost four years since I left the UK and, despite being a bit of a politics junkie, I sometimes find it rather difficult to follow UK political news. Especially when a particular issue floods the media for a while, then completely vanishes, then comes back again in a flurry of media attention. So, I’m appealing to any and all politically savvy Brits on this site to help me out. Yes, I’m looking at you @Burnley123.

It's about the Suella Braverman/Rwanda abomination.

To our American friends that don’t know, Suella Braverman is a member of the Tory Party, is a second-generation immigrant (her parents are both from India, she was born in the UK) and, is the current Home Secretary. As such, one of her key responsibilities is immigration.

The “Rwanda abomination” that I refer to was first put forward in April 2022 by the then Home Secretary, Priti Patel. Who, yet again, is a second-generation immigrant of Indian descent (ie born in the UK but both her parents are from India, this time via Uganda).

A deal was made with the Rwanda government whereby illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees that had made their way into the UK, would be deported to Rwanda for processing, asylum and settlement. IF THEY QUALIFY. Qualify what exactly?

Rwanda, the country that had one of the worst genocides in modern history as recently as 1994. Rwanda, a country with a 45% poverty rate and an average life expectancy of 65.

So what is it that I need help with, I hear you ask.

No, it’s not; WTF is wrong with two successive Home Secretaries that are of Indian descent, are the offspring of immigrants, and have zero compassion and understanding about the plight of the people that could very well have been their bloody parents!

My question is this; have the Tories provided any kind of information to the general voting public which shows exactly what provisions have been put in place for the people that will be dumped in Rwanda?

Because these people have already been classified as “Illegals”, it is more than likely that they are currently languishing in various deportation centres. Which, in turn, means that they will arrive in Rwanda with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

How the hell will these poor souls survive?
Is the British public aware?

I have read most of the posts here and one point is totally missing . Nearly all the illegal immigrants are young men of fighting age fleeing because they dont want to fight for their home . I have no problem with legal immigration like ukrainians fleeing war but the men stayed behind to fight for their home respect to them all and even more respect for those who have paid the ultimate price . Women and kids should be protected but all the men young enough to fight send back . During the Rhodesian Terrorist war and thats what it was backed by Russia and communism we didnt run we stayed to fight with the whole world against us . The world was warned about the outcome and still were against us even when it all came true . Another point is they are crossing our borders illegally so why should we allow it . We have no idea who they are . They could be hardened criminals , rapists etc you dont know . This is why we have legal immigration so that people can be vetted . They should all be arrested the minute they land and put on a plane straight away back from whence they came and told apply legally or you are not welcome .

@Rhode57 what if there's no adequate legal immigration system to process you? Britain is an island, and our government often peddles the line that these immigrants should apply for asylum at the first safe country they arrive in. Using that logic, the UK would NEVER have any immigrants arriving here, legally or not, because we're surrounded by water, so immigrants will ALWAYS have to go through another country to get here. It's a crock of shit they promote to hide the fact our immigration system isn't fit for purpose and our government doesn't want to deal with a problem that's been coming for decades, mainly because their core supporters are often bigoted. The Conservative Party is renowned for being anti-immigration and anti-foreigner. That's how we ended up with Brexit.

@Richard65 At last a sensible argument . Your right our system is broken and our government dont seem to want to fix it but my argument is still valid . But yes our immigration system does need overhauling your very right about the tories as well .

@Rhode57 the same old "they didn't stay to fight for their country", yeah because Britain became an empire by staying within its borders. The Brits and a few other Europeans should be the last to say "stay in your country".
