'This is the madness I try to articulate to you almost everyday.' 'Utterly morally bereft and statistically nonsensical.' As Rishi Sunak's Rwanda Bill is set to become law, @mrjamesob wants to know whether it will work as a 'deterrent'.
I don’t particularly agree with the approach, but it’s clearly designed as a deterrent and not a solution to illegal immigration. And illegal immigration must be drastically curbed. The alternative is to have the Royal Navy block the channel and forcibly redirect boats back to France. That is even less humane and creates political problems with a large European ally.

@LBC @mrjamesob Haven't listened to all of today's predictable rant - just stuck it as far as the first two factual inaccuracies ('no safe routes' and 'capacity for only 200') and I could take no more! Sorry James.
@LBC @mrjamesob If it stops Vietnamese people you know the former French colony coming over from France then yes it will be a deterrent they can save their £3k they pay smugglers and go back home to Vietnam the sort after tourist destination
@LBC @mrjamesob You're mistaking them for a govt,but Cameron changed govt to run as business.Brexit was about them being independent of govt service to public.They serve Corporations & the rich- about power & money.Many policies/laws get rid of people in the way-create crisis/conflict/distract.
@LBC @mrjamesob Yeah let’s go with the enormously expensive gimmick instead of properly managing this issue.
@LBC @mrjamesob 1:1 reciprocal arrangement too. 🤦♀️🤷♀️😡
