And who is paying for these lefty lawyers? Would that be us too?

[Story of O]

I expect the tax payer pays for the Government's lawyers

No

[Long slender neck]

Do gooders?

[Max Fowler]

It’ll be non-cu.nts what are wasting all this money on legal fees. Don’t worry, that’s not you.

[Long slender neck]

Phew. Thought they might be getting legal aid.

[Currywurst and Chips]

They're all entitled to legal aid despite entering the UK illegally

A right a large number of taxpayers are not entitled to

"All asylum seekers in the UK, including those being considered for relocation under our partnership with Rwanda, have access to legal aid and we spent £30m on this last year".

[Max Fowler]

Mainly that bloke from U2

They can stay in Hotel Rwanda.

They can stay in Hotel Rwanda.

I wonder who this could be?

Ah. An IP match from an address used 500+ times by the banned user KVN.

Time you f*cked off Samiastar. Bye.

Tonight's flight to Rwanda is cancelled.
Priti Patel must be spitting feathers.
All decent people are shocked and appalled by the horrible policy.
Let's hope it's scrapped

She won’t be at all. Both her and Johnson can’t lose on this one. Succeed in deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda and they’ve thrown a suitable chunk of red meat to racists up and down the land.

Failure means they can point at lefty lawyers or the ECHR and blame them instead. Either way they’ll escape any scrutiny from most of the electorate who’ll be suitably diverted by looking at this rather than seeing what an utter clusterfuck this lot have turned the country into.

The culture war continues. Expect an assault on lawyers / judges / ECHR from the Murdoch / Rothermere press tomorrow.

How about you stop calling people that want border controls like just about every country in the world racist. You are supposed to be a mod.

[Beradogs]

There are roughly 5 billion people living in what can loosely be described as countries less desirable than Britain. Economically, socially etc. Are you saying that if those 5 billion people wanted to, they could all jump on a rickety old boat and come to the UK? What is your answer? Its plainly ridiculous. As long as you feel good about yourself though right. Never let the facts get in the way of a good bit of virtue signalling which is fine, ‘‘twas ever thus with the left but then calling everyone that can see its not sustainable, racist, sticks in the claw a bit.

[Long slender neck]

The conundrum continues.

I think its a bit mad that people can claim asylum in any country they like.

Looks like that really upset him judging by the registration attempts that came in overnight.

Yeah I hate getting things stuck under my nails too.

Oh do shut up you complete bore. The policy of shipping people to Rwanda is racist and if you support a racist policy, that makes you a racist. Amazing that the UK can offer immediate asylum to Ukrainians (including paying uk residents to house them) but is quite content to ship brown and black refugees to a country with a shocking human rights record.

I have no issue with border controls. Process properly via safe routes and return where necessary. The French offered to house a processing centre for the uk at Calais yet this government turned it down.

[Wally Banter]

Yep - it’s a very slight leap from “we’ve got to do SOMETHING” to “let’s spend unbelievable amounts of money attempting to (illegally?) fly a few people to Rwanda”.

[Long slender neck]

Is there a scheme where people can offer to house Asylum Seekers and not just Ukrainians?

[Max Fowler]

I’m intrigued as to just how far Bera is going to descend. It’s a fascinating watch.

[Max Fowler]

No.

You can see why some people might think that’s a teeny bit racialist.
