Slight tangent : That Bob Seeley's a bit of a cunt, isn't he ?

Isle of Shite safe seat. The way things are looking, he may be a future Tory leader.

Maybe, if that comes to pass, we could get all the Tory refugees on a flight to Cowes

The two Island seats are no longer safe re the polls. But I find that hard to believe.

I do wonder how they'll vote in the 1956 elections...

Parish notices.

Fylde conservatives say they won't be repeating last year's popular "escape room" fundraiser.

Well, big boy Sunak got his Rwanda bill through. So now we can get to the real point of it - his engineering a scenario where he can moan about lefty Labour-voting lawyers in the desperate hope it makes him popular.

I hope the May locals are so bad he calls a panic GE to avoid being outed, because it would be hilarious and fitting if his entire government fell before a single plane left and the policy was repealed.

EDIT: ousted, not outed. Though given his stance on wokeness and equality it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if this was a lot of repressed self-hate because of being in the closet.

If the Tories were governing for another five years, this performative policy would be advantageous to them. You only need the odd pictures on the front of the Mail and the Sun of brown people getting on a plane for Rwanda to convince people it’s job done. Doesn’t matter if it’s only a couple of flights per year. Most illegals are visa absconders but it’s not discussed as there’s no dramatic pictures of ‘invaders’ to illustrate the problem.

He says that the bill was introduced to "deter vulnerable migrants from making perilous crossings and break the business model of the criminal gangs who exploit them"
Once again for the fucking morons at the back: people aren't jumping on flimsy inflatables and speedboats out of choice. Nobody wants to drown, least of all the people running the boats who are at just as much risk as their passengers. Those hefty fees are partly out of exploitation, and partly insurance for the pilots. Even smugglers have families.

Back when we had seamless road/tunnel travel, it was trucks. Problem is that nobody wants to hang onto a truck for hours on end as it just sits there in Calais. Alternatively, you can open a fucking processing centre in France and weed through applications there.

Even leaving anti-Brexit sentiment aside, having a pan European policy to share the problem seems like the most practical solution. Not one countries such as the UK and Poland, whose citizens have massively benefitted from European and global emigration, want to contemplate.

I think even with this ‘win’, Sunak has managed to do it in the worst possible way. As a standalone, it’s absolutely shitty but you can see the appeal to the abhorrent Tory base. But coming off of the back of his attack on the disabled, which has (correctly) come over as nothing other than cruel for the sake of it, it’s painted in an even worse light and he’ll pay for it.

A quick thought about Rwanda; if the airlines involved are deemed to be complicit in breaches of international law or treaties, would they then be denied landing rights and perhaps even airspace?

That's not good for business unless your entire raison d'être is to ferry Ricky Shortpants along the campaign trail.

Five dead in the channel this morning. One a four year old girl.

The deterrent effect...


The absolute cunts.

Once word gets around and the 'illegal immigrants' know they'll be flown off to Rwanda, the boats will stop, is the government retort to these tragedies at sea. We'll see.

One of the reasons these crossing became more numerous in the 2010s was the end of Colonel Gaddafi. He was quite happy to deploy more troops in the Libyan desert to shoot people who entered illegally to head for Europe. In exchange for concessions from the EU with Blair playing a leading part in this diplomacy. Not this country's proudest moment.

More people died in the Channel this morning than in every flight from Britain to Rwanda in history, put together. If the former won't deter migrants the latter certainly won't.

The UK has been accused by Amnesty International of “deliberately destabilising” human rights on the global stage for its own political ends.

In its annual global report, released today, the organisation said Britain was weakening human rights protections nationally and globally, amid a near-breakdown of international law.

“The UK is deliberately destabilising the entire concept of universal human rights through its appalling domestic policies and politicking,” said Sacha Deshmukh, Amnesty International UK’s chief executive...

The UK? All of us?


Ah

The damning Amnesty report said that with UK government policies targeting asylum seekers and other migrants, along with protesters, Britain had breached its international human rights commitments and curtailed protections at a particularly “perilous” time in global history. It said new legislation further eroded the freedom of assembly and expression.
So, not the UK as such, but a small coterie of self-serving inhumane cunts. The Conservative Party =/= the UK, as the aforementioned cunts will discover when their cunt-in-chief finally gets around to calling a General Election.
