We’ve got to the point where Rwanda is worried that association with this could damage their reputation. He was giving off vibes of “I wish I never got involved with these pricks” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The Rwanda vote thing is so conflicting, it’s utter madness and many Tories are voting against it… not because it’s mental, but because it’s not mental enough. It’s like “good on you for shouting down this piece of shit” then realising their desire is it make it crazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 So is Sunak going to be acting like he’s some sort of legend for pushing his Rwanda bill through parliament (barely). Full on Boris “getting Brexit done” type smugness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full on Boris “getting Brexit done” type smugness. Already opening the door to a backtrack? Quote What will happen to taxpayers' money if no flights take off, Sunak asked In a final question, Sunak is asked by LBC if he will "fight to get every penny of taxpayers' money back" from Rwanda if no flights head to east Africa. The question comes after the BBC spoke to Rwandan president Paul Kagame, who suggested the money could be returned if no asylum seeker is sent. A later statement from Rwanda clarified it was under no legal obligation to return the £240m paid by the UK for the scheme so far. Sunak does not answer directly, but says he is "fighting every day to get the flights off to Rwanda" because he wants to stop the boats. He says the government has "made good progress" and if "we stick with the plan we can get this done". "We need an effective working deterrent, that's what the Rwanda scheme delivers." So the question now is for the Labour Party and the House of Lords, will they support this bill so we can get it on the statute books as quickly as possible so we can start the flights."

Genie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Rwanda has capacity for about 1% of people coming across the channel I believe. As a desperate asylum seeker I think I’d be ok with those odds. It ain’t putting anybody off. It’s flawed in its entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Perhaps the next tactic is to get the bill through in record time so the place is full by mid February and even someone as pigshit thick as Lee Sniggly Anderson can see they’ve wasted 2 years and hundreds of millions of pounds.

Davkaus Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 When it comes to the government I'm quite fond of the phrase 'they're not stupid, they just think we are'. Lee Anderson is very much the exception. The bloke isn't qualified to operate his shoelaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I found it weird that you had to go into different rooms depending on how you were voting. Seems a bit silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
