THE U.K GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TOLD IT'S ASYLUM POLICY OF SENDING REFUGEES TO RWANDA IS ILLEGAL

The UK Supreme Court has ruled the governments policy of sending potential asylum seekers to Rwanda before being considered for leave to stay is illegal.

This idea was brought about by the numbers of people being smuggled into the UK from places in Europe in ridiculous numbers.
But rather than go after the gangs who do the smuggling, a right-wing section of the Conservative party came up with the idea that anyone caught should be flown to Rwanda and await possible processing/rejection there.

Apparently months of negotiation with Rwandan authorities had made this a possibility despite the fact little information about the agreement has been made known to the UK public.

£140million at least spent so far. That's just what was the "down payment" to Rwanda. What a shambles.

@OldBrit Did you know @OldBrit accepting illegal immigrants for detainment is something of a specialty in Rwanda ?

I didn't know that before today.

The problem is Rwanda is also renound for bribery and corruption and 'mysterious disappearances' of some of it's prisoners.

@Picklebobble2 precisely why this should never have been considered before you even consider the moral etc aspect.
