Help me, Rwanda

It is helpful, I think, at this point to point out a couple of facts relating to the UK Government's Rwanda "policy".

1. The UK Government has paid the Rwanda Government £160 million, but signed no treaty, just a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

2. Only 200 migrants will be sent to Rwanda in total.

3. They would not be sent to Rwanda for processing for immigration to UK, but to Rwanda.

4. Two other Eureopean countries are planning processing in 3rd countries, but a sucessful claimant will be allowed back to either France or Gemany. So, not like the UK's.

5. At the end of 2022, there were 166,261 immigrants waiting to have their claim to stay processed. So, the Rwanda scheme would reduce the waiting list by just over 0.1%.

Its all theatre.

Cruel and heartless theatre, using the most desperate as pawns.

At its heart, the scheme is against UK law, the ECHR, and several UN Treaties.

The plan by Sunak now that the Supreme Court has found the scheme to be illegal, is the temporarily change UK law, to disapply the UK Human Rights Act, the ECHR and all appropriate UN treaties.

The UK Government could also pass legislation that declared the moon is made of cheese and repeal the laws of gravity, that won't make it so. And in the case of UN Treaties and international law, UK legislation does not change that, or the UK's long standing commitment to them.

At some point, maybe, the Conservative Party and its brightest minds might realise that complicated problems cannot be solved with a simpe three word slogan.
