Plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is unlawful, UK appeal court rules
www.theguardian.com
Judges rule against policy after high court found it was lawful to send some people to Rwanda to have claims processed

Who would have guessed?! Now to wait and see how many commentators and newspaper editors call the judges ‘enemies of the people’.

    I do wonder if they were really planning on sending that many there, or if this is all a simple grab of right wing votes.

    Don’t get me wrong, ONE person sent there is a problem.

      I think that’s been the running theory with most of what they’ve done in the last few years tbh. Bait anyone with an ounce of humanity into speaking out against something and then attempt to turn it into a ‘Loonie Lefty Lawyers’ sort of thing. Utterly cynical.

      That is all it ever was. This so they could hide the rest of the stuff they are doing and nothing more.

      They’ve definitely been planning on sending them there. That’s why they’ve been booking them in hotels instead of actually processing migrants and deporting or integrating them - they need a big stockpile of migrants to kickstart their new concentration camps.
