The plans, which are set to be announced on Thursday, have been slammed by campaigners, with charities accusing the Government of treating asylum seekers "as no more than human cargo to be shipped elsewhere".
"So just as Brexit allowed us to take back control of legal immigration by replacing free movement with our points-based system, we are also taking back control of illegal immigration, with a long-term plan for asylum in this country," he is expected to say. "But it is these hopes - these dreams - that have been exploited. These vile people smugglers are abusing the vulnerable and turning the Channel into a watery graveyard, with men, women and children drowning in unseaworthy boats and suffocating in refrigerated lorries."
"We are appalled by the Government's cruel and nasty decision to send those seeking sanctuary in our country to Rwanda," he said. "It will do little to deter them from coming to this country, but only lead to more human suffering and chaos - at a huge expense of an estimated £1.4 billion a year."
its just a distraction to keep Johnson out of the heat
When? It's all talk as usual
1 in 3 men ( Uk nationals ) have a criminal conviction fact if you simply use this basic metric for every boat load 1/3 will be criminals I would strongly suggest many of these men are running from Europe & other countries for a reason . No ID cards access to gangs & free money
A damage limitation exercise for a government that's lost its moral compass to stay in government. This PATHETIC, irresponsible & discriminatory decision against SINGLE MEN is flawed and must & will be challenged in ICJ. HagueInstitute lawsocgazette HoCPress HouseofCommons
Did they not consider Outer Mongolia?
Waiting for the drama after the first non white Ukrainian is sent packing to Rwanda

Listened in growing disbelief to Johnson's speech & the immediate implementation of these draconian & cruel regulations. Sending anyone who lands on our shores to internment camps and then immediately on flights to Rwanda, a country with a recent history of genocide. Shameful.
Just when you thought the government couldn't get their optics any more distorted, here we go again. And no, the distraction techniques won't work either. The PM, the Chancellor and every single one who supports them must all leave. Willingly or by electoral force.
A Nazi policy being copied by this government. Disgraceful.
This will be a hard sell for the trafficking gangs. Buy a ticket to Blighty end up 6,000 miles away.
A dead cat to appease the the vicious racists on the right of his party
👇
shameful
That's absolutely fucking insane.
Just send them to Wales, alot cheaper! 😉
Brilliant 🤩
Question: how is this gonna rescue lives in the Channel? If it serves as a deterrent as the hostile environment that we've had for a number of years, I'd say it doesn't work except to increase suffering of people. It's appalling and morally deplorable.
Are they going to be on the same plane with Ukrainians?
At a cost of at least £200,000 EACH. Why not ask UK residents if they’d like £200k each to emigrate instead? Disgusting concentration camp policy.
UK is clearly in no position to lecture Putin on his inhumane, barbaric tactics which include forcibly relocating people 1000s of miles away. It is abhorrent that anyone with a functioning brain thinks this is okay. When you think they have reached the bottom 🤦🏻♀️
What a very stupid idea but then Tories aren’t known for their intelligence or common sense or integrity!
Hepworthclare Whose paying for this? That would be us again, I don't suppose we will get a say in this? No didn't think so.
Just turn the boats back to France.. ( New boat )
Brilliant, off the fuck
And there they will simply be forgotten !!
Tories have destroyed Englands economy & international reputation.
Really!? SMH.
Is that not first day of purdah? Surely the ElectoralCommUK has something to say about that? This is also a dead cat to deflect from Johnson’s other fines.
will this story keep the criminal, not fit for purpose, Johnson out of the news?
Very good 👏
These are supposed to represent the British public? Why are we putting up with it!?
That will cut down the drownings in the Channel
Hooray
Why not Ascension Island ? That would make more sense? 😶🌫️
ToryFascism
The inhumanity of this Govt is breathtaking.
Is this some sort of stupid joke? Aside from all the human rights issues, the cost (and pollution/carbon emissions) of flying people back and forth to Rwanda must be ridiculous!
Like that’s going to work.
Disgusting, utterly disgusting. Britain is a horrible, unwelcoming country now.
What can we do to distract the idiots?
How much is this costing? Why are they spending OUR money on this? Why cant Patel get a humane process in place? If she cant manage SackPatel CostOfLivingCrisis FoodBanks ToriesMismanagingOurMoney
At tax payers expense. 🙄
Excellent news
TomSwarbrick1 don’t come here illegally and you won’t end up in Rwanda. The whole point is to send them somewhere they don’t wanna end up.Where do you suggest we send them? The Maldives ffs?
What laws will apply to offshore responsibilities 🇬🇧
