  • This whole Rwanda situation is just getting more and more absurd. Why can’t the government just accept is a horrific plan and benefits no one. It must be costing a fortune.

    But no even after it was ruled unlawful. They’re still going for it.

    🫶🏻 cunts gonna cunt.

  • Listening to a few different commentators yesterday I thought the following were interesting points:

    1. The plan was conceived as part of "operation save big dog" - ie it's roots are in capturing the news cycle
    2. The government have known all along that they could have improved the strength of their case by signing a treaty with Rwanda with enough teeth to hold them to account for deficiencies in their asylum system. They chose not to do this and have lost (probably) as a result.

    It's almost like it's a joke that's got out of hand.

    Basically though, I think it's been kept live by 3 different camps:

    • those who want it for performative effect
    • those who see it as a strategic move to exit the ECHR
    • those who are so fucking basic they thing it's a credible plan were they only allowed to do it
