Greaat vent, you are certainly speaking for me here.
All true, also what happened to that other piece of performative showboating (pun intended) the Bibby Barge?
All of this populist nonsense is costing a fortune, the costs of which would probably balance the budgets of a dozen or more local authorities which will end up serving s.114 notices before the end of the financial year

I think it's in exactly the same ... boat as Brexit. They (rightly or otherwise) believe that getting it done and being able to say "we got immigration done" is enough to sway some part of the voting public, and is easier than actually trying to resolve immigration

How can anyone think that implementing this demented and massively expensive "solution" will deter any poor desparate souls from attempting to reach our shores?
No-one thinks it’ll actually work, it’s merely a bit of performative cruelty that red wall Tory MPs think might save their seats, even if they still lose the election.

why can't even the most eager of red meat recipients see that this scheme won't work...
They probably can. A quick skim of Guido Fawks comments shows most people thinking it's bollocks. Even the common sense advocates who want the navy to capture boats don't think it's workable.

The fucking Tory's obsession with the Rwanda farce is mind boggling.
How can anyone think that implementing this demented and massively expensive "solution" will deter any poor desparate souls from attempting to reach our shores? There's only space for 100 people in Rwanda so about 1/10th of a summer's days crossings.
These people are risking their lives getting in the dinghies. The euro millions winning odds of being one of the 100 to go to Rwanda will be the last thing on their minds. Ever.
Obviously it's all a distraction from all the sinister shit they're pulling on a daily basis including the fact that they've entirely created the immigration "problem" in the first place.
But why can't even the most eager of red meat recipients see that this scheme won't work and is a massive smoke screen and trojan horse to further diminish our rights? And given that it's a massive political embarrassment that is imploding the party in front of all who looks on, why do they continue to pursue what is clearly a self destruct button?
I'm just sick to death of this lunatic bunch of greedy clowns destroying all that's good about this country whilst the average person struggles to feed themselves.
Sorry, bad day and needed to vent.
