Not looking good for the Government's Rwanda policy... (n/t) on 11:41 - Nov 15 by pointofblue
But concerning that, on a poll the BBC just published, 48% of the British public support or tend to support the policy whilst 18% Don't know. That's over 60% who are in support, don't know enough or don't care enough.
The reporting of this policy has been tragically bad though.
I would wager many of those people think the proposal is for people to be sent to Rwanda to have their UK asylum claims processed, when in reality there is no route for them to get asylum in the UK - only Rwanda.

That’s bloody shocking. And sad.
Is it really that shocking? A population that voted to self-harm itself by voting for Brexit, millions of people who voted in a serial lier for PM to form a government made up of the corrupt, the incompetent and corrupt incompetents.
The UK has turned into a nasty hate-filled country.

So if I'm reading it right the government's plan is to pass legislation to say that Rwanda is safe despite all evidence to the contrary in the hope that this creates a legal situation that bypasses the Supreme Court's ruling? That is utterly batsh!t. Sunak really is a heady combination of May's lack of personability, Johnson's duplicitous snakery, and Truss's utter incompetence. He offers absolutely nothing to anyone.

Sunak needs to find another place that’s grim enough to act as a deterrent.
How about Hull?
Hull has the saving grace of the Humber Bridge, which is incredibly beautiful both from the ground and the bridge itself, as well as being an amazing & fascinating piece of engineering.
Well worth allowing an extra hour to pay it a visit for those travelling to our away fixture there on 27th April. Spectacular views from the footbridge, f.o.c., as well as detailed, interesting info boards on the construction.

I visited Hull back in the 70s when it was one of my choices for university.
The areas I visited were very nice, and my abiding memory was of very wide streets.
And it's where the marvellously radical band, the Housemartins, originated.

It would appear that Britain is not the only country in Europe concerned with illegal immigration.
Several countries within the Schengen area are allegedly tightening border controls to try and control illegal immigration and terrorism.

That superb album is almost criminally underrated.
The lyrics on Flag day are very poignant.
The album is well worth a listen.
(I do love the way threads often meander on here!)
Absolutely, and Happy Hour is not the happy song many thought it was. Both the video and lyrics were perhaps the first (only?) to call out sexism at work.
Happy that the fire is real, the barman is a she
It's another night out with the boss Following in footsteps overgrown with moss And he tells me that women grow on trees And if you catch them right, they will land upon their knees
Where they open all their wallets, and they close all their minds And they love to buy you all a drink, and then we ask all the questions And you take all your clothes off and go back to the kitchen sink

Exceptional circumstances after Brussels have been notified first.
I have no idea if Brussels lied but my guess is that there has to be a high degree of concern and risk for these controls to be reintroduced.
Or maybe it was always the case that immigration from outside the EU has always been an area over which sovereign nations have a lot of control? Just a thought.

If the wording is 'exceptional circumstances' I suspect your assumption is incorrect.

I wasn't referencing the UK, i was referring to countries in the EU.
Which also have significant control over non-EU immigration:
"If you’re a non-EU national looking to move to an EU country for work, study or to join a family member, you may be entitled to certain rights under EU immigration rules. The EU and EU countries share competences in this area, but it’s up to each EU country to take the final decision on individual migrant applications. In areas where no EU rules have been adopted, EU countries can also set the conditions on obtaining residence and work permits in their country."
