ml1dch Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 So the next step of the plan - send everyone to Rwanda, those whose asylum applications succeed, stay there. Those that fail, have to return to the UK. There's no way that can fail, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It amazes me that the Tories are clearly hemorrhaging support to Labour and the right wing media's response is 'they're too left wing'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm heartened that even in Reform fall in behind the tories, which they won't, but if they did, they'd still be short of Labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I’m expecting Boris to join reform. It looks like a world of opportunity for a bullshitter to promise an exciting new world of doing things differently and better than ever before.

To do that he'd have to consider they had the chance of winning power shortly, that lazy mofo would expect instant return for lending his heave.

How does this make sense even if you look at it from the perspective of a raving "send them back" gammoner. There's too many asylum seekers right, and most of them aren't even legit. Obviously we want to help real refugees, right, goes without saying. But loads of them are trying it on. Common sense, ennit. So we'll send them to Rwanda, let Rwanda keep the legit ones and we'll take back...The one Rwanda doesn't want? And do what with them? They get the ones that pass Rwanda's assessment, presumably legit asylum seekers that want a new home, want to work, and pay tax, and we still have to deal with the ones that are supposedly the problem in the first place? Am I missing something here? Are they this **** stupid? Who is this for? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 16, 2023 It doesn't need to make sense. Its just red meat to the nutter wing. He knows he can't do anything, he almost certainly doesn't give a flying **** about it really, and he knows he'll never have to deliver on anything he says about it, so just wittering on with some completely brainless claptrap that looks roughly like he wants to keep the policy alive is enough for face saving. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 16, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2023 The bit that really makes no sense is that the Tories have seen the polls, they know that the group of voters they're throwing this stuff at isn't very big and that most people either don't care or actively dislike their policies around it - yet, given the opportunity to ditch some of it and point at 'mad Suella' they've instead elected to double down and try to ram this even further down the throats of a group that's now even smaller because some of them went with the witch. It's a crazy party - and I'm guess it's lead by the idea that if they keep the Mail, the Express and the Sun happy, those papers will win the election for them - the world has changed, that's not as straightforward as it used to be - especially when those newspaper men are absolutely batshit nuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
