    Opinion polls show the majority of people are in favour of the Rwanda scheme.
    The government were voted in with a very big majority.
    The courts have said that what they're doing is legal.

    Democracy is struggling for breath in this country.

    There's no such thing as democracy col. It's a word branded about to suit agendas.

    Opinion polls are split.

    The full court hearing is next month. That's when we should know if the policy is legal, it's not long to wait

    You seem to think that a government with a big majority should be allowed to flout the law. This government has got previous, of course.

    A survey of 37 Express readers will show an overwhelming majority in favour of removing us from the ECHR tomorrow and you can’t just ignore the will of the people like that.

    So even if the flights are to ahead and over the year the full quota are sent, it’s still odds of about 60-1 for anyone deciding on making that journey, hardly a deterrent is it?

    If I was skeptical I might think this is is tokenism to try and keep a certain voter base on side

    What a complete farce all this Brexit 'oven ready' deal is. The government's own impact assesment warned of all these potential issues. Feels like we really do have a bunch of complete ****wits in charge of the play park.

    Foreign court with foreign judges rule against an English Court on UK immigration matters.

    There will be consequences.

    This is just the start of the process. We need to remove ourselves from the European Court of Human Rights Court and replace it with our own human rights legislation

    We have lefties desperate to stop this and righties desperate to make it happen.
    I personally don't give a **** but then again, when we were a member of the EU, I never had any issues anyway.

    Glad you're sleeping well at night, Bob, but illegal immigration is a huge issue and it's getting bigger daily. It could even be a major factor in the next GE

    A good culture war because we’ve had to delay being unnecessarily cruel to random asylum seekers is exactly what this country needs right now. Look over there.

    Culture war seems to be a policy nowadays. At least we got that 'sovereignty' thingy back. Every cloud and all that.

    Barely get a wink, worrying how those poor people smugglers are going to spend the millions they make sending over immigrants in lilos, with a recession on the horizon
