Why are they so obsessed with this? They act as though it’s everyone’s #1 priority.
My personal priority list:
- I can’t register with a GP in my area
- There’s a 5 year waiting list for an NHS dental appointment, and one of my teeth is cracked
- I can’t rely on the buses and trains to get me to work anymore
- I’m worried about the cost of gas and electricity
- I’m worried about the future of our planet
- I’m worried about the government crackdown on peaceful protest
- I’m worried about new laws to help the DWP further persecute the poor and disabled
- I’m worried that Keir Starmer is too focused on appeasing potential right-wing voters and is doing little to oppose some of the government’s recent awful policies
- I’m worried about about new badly thought out technology policies
- I’m worried about the global rise of the far right
- the recent tax cut ruins any chances of us improving essential public services
- public buildings and publicly funded organisations are collapsing all around us.

- I think the clock on my microwave is a few seconds fast
- At various times in their careers, I struggle to tell Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell apart
- But if Pluto is a dog, then what is Goofy?
- When I say “an apple”, I’m concerned that it sounds like “a napple”
[…]
- Something about immigrants on boats or whatever the government thinks my priorities are
They want it because it makes them look tough on immigration. They don’t want to actually DO it, because anyone that can rub two braincells together knows it’s a fucking stupid idea. They just want to look like they’re going to be harsh on foreigners until the GE comes along, because they think the gammon vote will get them in.
I think the majority shares your list. Have you seen Kurt’s son compared to Val Kilmer? Mind blowing 😁.
All these problems can be resolved by controlling immigration.
Like fuck it can
This tiny piece of scum Tory needs to go. It remains unlawful and unethical. Let’s see his maths homework for a change instead of his privilidged BS. The £billions that his party have wasted and cost the UK public is not going to be offset by this exercise
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sending asylum seekers who arrive in the UK illegally to Rwanda is a key plank of Mr Sunak’s pledge to stop small boat crossings of the English Channel.
Speaking to journalists travelling on his flight to Dubai, Mr Sunak said the next stage would be bringing forward legislation to prove that the central African nation was safe, “thereby making sure there are no more domestic blockers to the proper functioning of this scheme”.
But an economic impact assessment prepared for the Illegal Migration Act estimated that removing an individual to a third country, such as Rwanda, would cost £63,000 more than keeping them in the UK.
But more than 20, including former senior cabinet minister Damian Green, chair of the One Nation group of Conservative MPs, have written to Mr Sunak urging him not to renege on the UK’s human rights commitments.
Sir Bob Neill, Tory chair of the Commons justice committee, told the Financial Times: “Many Conservative voters in traditional seats are uneasy with picking fights with the country’s institutions and want to keep to the treaties we have entered into.”
Government lawyers have warned that instructing the courts to ignore the ECHR risks opening up further avenues for migrants to challenge the legality of deportation flights, on the basis that it would breach Britain’s convention obligations.
The original article contains 769 words, the summary contains 218 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
It has prob cost 1/2 billion so far with nothing to gain for it, and absolutely no hope of it coming in the future. Dropping out of the ECHR could save companies a few billion pounds, and that will all be at the expense of workers rights. Fighting “illegal” refugees is not in their line of sight. They want to make labour costs as low possible in the UK. This is why no one has any money, but they want you to have much less again.
Sending tories to Rwanda can save more.
