UK's controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda ruled lawful by court

[pifm_guy]

Did we ever find out how much the UK is paying Rwanda to take these people?

Presumably Rwanda isn't dealing with the UK's dirty laundry for free...

[freddybobs]

140 million to sign the deal with Rwanda. Will cost 100k GBP per applicant. Rwanda will 'process' 200 applicants a year.

Clearly that doesn't come close to solving anything and is expensive. It is a simple to explain non solution.

rescue.org (https://www.rescue.org/uk/article/why-uk-government-should-r... section 5) reports GBP 140m so far, GBP 120m on up front costs along with The Times reporting a further payment of GBP 20m.

The Migration Observatory (https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/commentaries... costs section) also cites the GBP 120m figure, along with a citation of Select committee evidence that there will be further per-person costs to HMG.

Australia is already full, it seems.

Is your home full? Perhaps some of them can seek asylum with you

When your country is a shithole every citizen is a potential asylum seeker. That’s nothing but an abuse of the system.

Britain should try to do better
