Doubtless our Ministers, who have decided that the UK does NOT belong to the human race, will appeal. Supported by many voters who also feel the life of humans is less important than British Citizens being able to afford luxury items.

I agree with you JK. I can't believe that they have wasted money and time persisting with this policy - especially in view of the over 1 million immigration visas that they have issued to people from outside of the EU in the past year.

I think a lot of people don't realise Rwanda is not a one way street.
It is actually an exchange programme, where we send some, and they send some.

I cant see the point of it all, but that is how it works.

No one believed it not even the government.

It's all smoke and mirrors.

What annoys me is that, whilst I'm happy the stupid scheme seems to be going to fail, it's all on a sort of technicality (Rwanda don't have a reliable asylum system) rather than on the principle that we should be helping, protecting, encouraging MOST of those who want to come here, not saying "go away". "But there will be criminals and terrorists among them" - of course, just as there are both, living in Britain and France and America and everywhere - and the most efficient, deadly and dangerous ones will escape capture or entry or discovery anyway. The vital principle is kindness, decency, encouragement. As a society, we shall be rewarded when those immigrants invent things, discover things, make this country better and more wealthy and successful. Trust in them; welcome them; nurture them - we'll get a thousand Mo Farahs for every sponger, loser or loony. And scroungers, losers, loonies need help and kindness too and, as humans, we should cherish them, every one, not reject them.

THAT is the crime.

Some people don't helping or love. Some just like to sponge and like to commit crime.

Why do you want to trust people you don't know, you hear about gullible people taking in the homeless then homemless then murders the person who gave them a hand up?

Most of the hotels the immigrants are staying in are going to be flats or the hoteliers might hire them to be used as cheap labour. Staycations are going to be thing in the past soon. A few hotels in Bournemouth are now doss houses with a fancy name and surroundings.

I wonder if that person on your Twitter page would have been saying "but we don't know who they are, we don't know which of them is in real need" with Jews fleeing Nazism. Surely anyone who pays a fortune to people smugglers and risks their life in an overcrowded boat is more likely to be acting out of desperation than be a chancer or a sponger.

Here's someone who seems to have arrived illegally.

Ex-asylum seeker doctor 'shocked' by Rwanda plan

He then returned to Afghanistan for seven or eight years, before his parents decided that at the age of 15 he was "old enough to let go".

"The only route they found was to sell the house... just to save my life basically and my future," he said.

"We looked for legal routes or official routes - none existed."

He said he arrived in the UK with post-traumatic stress disorder and $100 in cash.
Surgeon who fled to UK as child slams Government's plan to send refugees to Rwanda

Dr Arian came to the UK at 15 and was told he should become a taxi driver. But he had bigger ambitions.

Against the odds, he was accepted to read medicine at Cambridge University, Imperial College and Harvard, and went on to become a doctor in the NHS. But he wanted to do more.

In 2015 he founded Arian Teleheal, a global charity that connects doctors in war zones and low-resource countries with their counterparts in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. Together, learning from each other, they save and change lives.

Yes Jo but I have to stress - I don't care about the reasons for immigrants - indeed, potential terrorists or killers should be rooted out if possible but I think anybody who wants to come and live here should be supported. We are welcoming people - or should be.

How do you do that then? It's not like they going to wear a name saying "Terrorist".

Jo, the Rwanda flights is not going to happen unless they want a holiday there!

I don't trust anyone apart from a select few and I don't trust doctors.
