Sunak (General U.K. is Jaded thread)
2024 recession looking likely, although NI might actually be less hit than rest of the UK for once.
C_J so sending 200 of the 51,000 off to Rwanda will achieve what exactly? It’s no deterrent at all and is an embarrassment.
I don’t know the answer, but this definitely isn’t it.
alistair how about some simplistic care and attention with the budget instead of squandering it on mates and unfunded tax cuts. That would be a start, wouldn’t it?
alistair that’s what happens to most kids.
Along_the_Wire I guess the idea is to get 200 done to set a precedent and then start cranking the numbers up. The home office has also said that sending them there cost more than keeping them here, but, again, the idea presumably is to end the belief that if you can make it to the UK you’re untouchable and eventually the flow will start to decrease.
I think in theory it’s not a terrible plan but it will be scuppered by too many competing vested interests: the lawyers who make a good living off the current system and the political opposition both within and outwith the Tory party.
They should just stick a nurses uniform on them as they get off the boats, hand them a needle and take them to the nearest hospital “right Mgono you’re a nurse now”.
I bet the health of the nation would improve rapidly!
Send them all to Tooting. They will soon start telling all their friends back home what a shit hole the U.K. is and to not bother coming. Problem solved.
Starker handed Sunak his arse at PMQs today.
Millsy Oooh, will take a look
