    Fair enough…..so I’m guessing there isn’t any real reason then.

    Money would be a big factor of course…but to say that is the only motive is somewhat naive I reckon….

    Seems I misunderstood the “Rwanda Plan” and didn’t quite realise that even if the asylum seeker wins the right of asylum, they wouldn’t be brought back here but would have to make a home in Rwanda itself.

    Pretty poor show to be honest and makes sense as to why people are against the plan.

    Keir Starmer on Conservative ministers comparing Boris Johnson’s Partygate fine to a speeding ticket:

    "As it happens the last minister who got a speeding ticket and then lied about it ended up in prison.

    And I know about it because I prosecuted him."

    Yeah totally…..and if they win the right to asylum in this country, then morally they should be accepted in this country and not exported like a commodity to somewhere else.
    I had mistakenly assumed that if accepted then they would be returned back here…and to me that seemed perfectly acceptable.

    Its quite tragic that the Tories are dressing Rwanda up as a great idea, totally safe and acceptable. Hows that supposed to put people off trying to get here? But as kiwi says, theres plenty of safe countries enroute, best tell the Ukranians that aswell

    OMG... just heard that Teresa May and I agree totally ( see my post from a couple of days ago)...
    As the Rwanda plan excludes women, children and families we will just see more women and children on boats.

    And probably even more innocent deaths.

    Bloke wheeled out to defend Johnson this morning in real trouble ‘I don’t know’ his go to response. Apparently Johnson has been attacking the BBC and the Church of England for criticising the Rwanda decision more than they criticise Putin, in one of the Tories’ habitual smokescreen manoeuvres. When asked how often Johnson puts his life on the line for the truth, like Bowen, Doucet, Limaye and all the other BBC reporters in Ukraine, he nearly started crying.

    He’s some bloke who works for Kwasi Kwarteng as a junior business minister, which sounds more like a punishment than a job. He couldn’t even answer questions on his own brief. Paul Scully is his name. I’d be surprised if you hear much more of him.

    Rees-Mogg was on TV last night comparing Johnson's FPN to a VAR decision in cricket, whereby the batsman thinks he isn't LBW, but VAR decides that he is.

    More like the batsman being clean bowled, but refusing to walk.

    Rees Mogg must be getting sick of commoners asking impertinent questions. He clearly sincerely believes that the rules do not apply to him and his ilk.

    Looks like the new defence is Johnson didn’t knowingly mislead Parliament, because he didn’t know that the parties he attended were parties and other people ‘reassured’ him that they weren’t. Presumably he also believes them when they tell him he isn’t a lying bellend.

    Here in Oz, we are heading towards an election in about a month.

    On offer is a reasonably stable Liberal government who have weathered the storm of raging bush fires, once in a lifetime floods and our persistently close friend, Co-vid 19 and or equivalent.

    The Liberal party have held office for some time, which, if the differing imbeciles and wokes' have anything to do with it, the opposition leader, in his complete lack of brain-cell matter and in full idiotic speak, may actually have a chance of being Prime Minister.

    Only a complete jock-strap would even consider voting for this impaired numpty, who has excelled in just the first week of election fever, to absolutely fcuk up everything he was told to say and give the current powers that be, every chance of re-election.

    One can only hope for the status quo to continue for the sake of saving this great country from further debt and oblivion.
