WTF

Is this the level the election is going to be run at.

Pathetic and vile and shame on any other parties that join in this race to the gutter.

It's going to be just like an American election, just a shittier, cut price version

Being set up for a new life is much better than being dumped with nothing.

By my reading the govts rwanda immigration policy will put the govt on the wrong side of the new extremist definition.opposition to the rule of law.

[Neil]

If govt won't be allowed to fund extremists will extremists still be able to fund the tory party? Will westminster still be able to fund Scotland?

so...what is the definition of extreme now? I need to know before I go out.

The UK Definition of Extremism has altered and part now says an extremist is someone or group that wants to:

""undermine, overturn or replace the UK's system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights"."

 

The Conservative Party and the Reform party both want to quit the ECHR - something that gives us all democratic rights.

Does this make them both extremist groups?

also something about the rule of law, the rule of law our govt doesn't accept for immigration issues.

Being dumped in Rwanda with £3K isn’t exactly a ticket to a life of happiness is it? It won’t happen anyway, they are clutching at straws. Racist straws.

the offer might stay on the table i don't think many will take it, most refugeees that arrive in the uk are after a first world life, i reckon.

its probably much better than what a refugee has fled from - which is the angle my comment was coming from.

if i' didn't mis-hear rees-mogg, it makes sense, it was said at the end of a piece about mayor rees, so i might have presumed he said rees and not rees-mogg.

It's all to just get some people on a plane to Rwanda - nothing else.

It gets the headlines they want regardless of why the people are on the plane.

this shithole is where they've chosen to come to! the £3k thing would also be something they'd choose.
