In the news

Christ that’s fucking depressing.

What a shower of shite this country is.

Proximity to a cycle route pushes up property values https://london-post.co.uk/pandemic-causes-londoners-to-get-on-their-bikes-but-cycle-route-property-prices-carry-hefty-premium/

I think most people don't get the fact either that going to Rwanda for "processing" is a one way ticket, you never come back to the UK even if you are found to be a refugee, you just get settled in Rwanda, not sure that would change the poll much unless they start putting Ukrainians on flights to Kigali

I don't think most people give a shit what happens to them either way

From the comments, lol

Twitter is a Guardian forum with a few hundred conservatives either misreading the room or here for a laugh.

It's just people-trafficking really. And the people who get trafficked will then become the victims of more people traffickers, corrupt police and officials, etc.

Yeh, it's weird how they are claiming they are putting it in place to end people trafficking but all they are really doing is creating a new trafficking route

It's just official UK government racism. No sense in looking for logic in it.

It would help if the question that ComRes put to the people participating in the poll reflected the reality of what the government was proposing.

To what extent do you support or oppose the government's deal to send some who apply for asylum in the UK to Rwanda for their applications to be processed?

Is not what is being proposed at all. Once these people arrive in Rwanda the government is supposedly washing their hands of them (apart from the bung they will pay to the Rwandan government). The only way their application is to then be processed is to apply for asylum in Rwanda.

It would help if the question that ComRes put to the people participating in the poll reflected the reality of what the government was proposing.

Reminds me of this…

And are we the outliers as it seems to be so popular with the public?

And has the country become nastier or has 5 years of othering effectively given people permission to loudly voice opinions that they wouldn’t have dared to previously (and all the while whinging about being cancelled by the woke mob)?

I’m guessing that ‘doing something’ is popular with the public.

And and Dec are popular with the public

given people permission to loudly voice opinions that they wouldn’t have dared to previously

Or are these opinions people held and happily voiced, then "political correctness gone mad" came in and they kept quite in public for a decade (although still spouted this shit in the "right" company or after a drink) and now they are just back to saying what they have always thought like they used to

Most likely this

And Mrs. Brown's Boys, don't forget.

Also a lot of people are uninformed, I always assume people consume as much current affairs as I do and then am surprised when they know less which is my fault. Case in point, my Dad earlier saying the refugees should apply before getting on boats if they don't want to be deported, I point out they can't as we have closed all safe routes apart from for Ukrainians, so everyone else is forced to come that way if they have some connection or reason bringing them to the UK, to which the response is that doesn't sound right and I have probably got it wrong, a shrug and back to reading the Daily Mail

Completely agree. We export our waste, export our pollution and export our child labour. What the fuck, let’s export our huddled masses too.

It’s got a lot to answer for

Could it open the flood gates to relocate those who sought asylum prior to now.

We’re pretty much back to “are you thinking what we’re thinking” (although I’m not sure what I’m thinking is what they have in mind)

A Conservative MP lied under oath, behaved in an abusive, arrogant and aggressive way, and was so dishonest that his claims about a multimillion-pound family dispute could not be taken at face value, a high court judge has ruled.

He also criticised ministers defending his conduct on the airwaves and their use of the situation in Ukraine to argue there should not be a leadership contest now by saying they "cannot ignore the decency of your own system".

He said: "The Queen's First Minister is now beyond doubt a rogue prime minister, unworthy of her, her Parliament, her people, and her kingdom.

"I cannot remember a day when I have been more fearful for the well-being of the constitution.

"It's an assault on not just the decent state of mind which keeps our society open and clean but also on the institutions of the state.

"If he's not prepared to do the decent thing... why should anybody else behave decently and properly? The whole decency of our public life turns on this question."
