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.

Little things like law don’t normally get in their way.

@LosSantosNPC so the pitch will be too leave the European Convention on Human Rights and pass a new law making it legal.

Just ponder our standing in the world if we do that.

And if course it'll allow freedoms we take for granted now to be removed eventually

@OldBrit And if we can do it to other nations people just watch and see what [i]their[/i] response to ours is if any of our get caught up in something like this.

@OldBrit I’m not saying I approve. But as a former employee I can confirm they are of the opinion that the law applies to everyone but them.
