It's safe to say that anyone whoever supported Johnson wasn't patriotic to this country. They were following a yank who was funded by the Russians. Disgusting behaviour. They should hang their heads in shame.

I told you all years back….he was never “cuddly lovable buffoon Boris” despite what his image writers would have people believe

Feels like an expensive way of appeasing racists. Could we not just subsidise Carling?

Not saying it’s a good thing or a bad thing…..but isn’t that report a bit slanted ?
Maybe I’m not reading it correctly but doesn’t the report say that while it would have a cost of £169k for each person…it would then go on to save between £106k and £165k ? Or are they saying there are two completely separate reports, with vastly different figures attached ?
Very confusing….maybe done so on purpose

A breakdown of the costs said that a third country like Rwanda would get £105,000, the Home Office £18,000, costs for flying and escorting would be £22,000, costs for detention would be £7,000 and costs to the Ministry of Justice would be £1,000.

who makes these numbers up
return flight this saturday to kigali is 975 pounds

Western intelligence agencies are warning that Putin has been mortally wounded by Prigozhin’s aborted coup and that NATO must prepare for the collapse of Russia. It’s difficult to predict the likely timing, but civil war seems inevitable rather than possible. We could see a humanitarian catastrophe unfold. Worse still, different factions vying for control of Russia’s nuclear stockpiles might force us to deploy ground forces to stabilise the region and prevent the wrong people gaining access to WMD. However likely or unlikely this scenario is, Britain needs to be prepared for the unexpected and we are not. We have had 12 months to ramp-up our capabilities. But whereas our European partners have increased defence spending, we contemplating further cuts.
