Didn't we all think that the incoming New Labour government of 1997 would, amongst so many other things, have the Honours system scrapped in a dazzling first one hundred days in power?

Really?
So many things that are happening today - Rwandan refugees being imported into the UK by Priti Patel, for example - but the age-old traditions of the UK constitution are "news". |  | | |

You’ve got that arse about face. We are exporting refugees to Rwanda. Not importing Rwandan refugees into the UK. |  |

And of course congratulations to Sir Tony, and Baroness Amos, who today becomes the first ever black member of the Order of the Garter. |  |

Supposedly we're doing both as part of this agreement with Rwanda. |  |

Are we? That's news to me. I understood we are paying a lot of money for them to take each one. Why would we pay that if there was a reciprocal arrangement?
Also, what does this section mean from the link XYZ posted?
14 Modern slavery
Rwanda will have regard to information provided about a Relocated Individual relating to any special needs that may arise as a result of their being a victim of modern slavery and human trafficking, and will take all necessary steps to ensure these needs are accommodated.
It is meaningless words isn't it? Simply attempts to justify sending victims of modern slavery. Doesn't it? |  |

"16 Resettlement of vulnerable Refugees
16.1 The Participants will make arrangements for the United Kingdom to resettle a portion of Rwanda’s most vulnerable refugees in the United Kingdom, recognising both Participants’ commitment towards providing better international protection for refugees."
It's quite clear - "... resettle a portion of Rwanda’s most vulnerable refugees in the United Kingdom ..."

Well, that has been well hidden. It still isn't the same number as we send out there but it does paint a different complexion on the already expensive and highly flawed policy.
Is it too simplistic to suggest that skin colour will be the main determining factor in who is going in which direction?
Clearly in the context of the paragraph I quote above, their "most vulnerable refugees" must be more vulnerable than victims of modern slavery. | |

Indeed, not publicised at all. One presumes that Rwanda insisted upon it and that it will be acted upon.
It is silent as to numbers, so one can't make assumptions about which direction will see the greater traffic.

THe United Kingdom are not the only ones playing this game, there is another story on the BBC website about a Yemeni who was incarcerated for years without charge in Guantanamo being resettled in Belgrade:

What a sad and painful read that was.
Guantanamo is a(nother) permanent stain on the US. | | | |

One thing's for sure - us sending refugees out there is absolutely bloody ludicrous, scandalous & a stain on the UK. I'm embarrassed to be British right now even though I didn't vote for the corrupt right-wing-bordering-on-fascist regime that's running us.
Was reported in ITV news tonight though that the actual number of individuals now being deported there is down to 8 (from 32 I think), at least temporarily, as their personal appeals have been lodged. |  |

Rwanda, 'ecking Ireland (again) and the Brexit recession all on the same day.
So much winning. | | | |
