It means the UK has spent £240m on the scheme, despite no asylum seekers being sent to the African nation.

I find it amusing that the Tories will bang on about being careful with spending “other people’s money” yet have spunked £240m to date on a deal that has yielded no results. Maybe we should rename this HS3 and then Sunak will abandon it?

    The elephant in the room that nobody wants to tackle is that the HomeOffice is utter shite. Top to bottom bunch of shit processes and wasteful people. But nobody wants to say this because telling people they’re shit at they’re job is not the done thing.

    If the HomeOffice processed claims in a month, think what that would automatically do to the picture? Why is this out of their skill set? Having people sat in limbo for months and years is the problem.

      It really drives me mad when right wing twats are like “asylum seekers get x amounts in benefits” and it’s like, yes, it’s fuck all per person and has to be paid because they’re forbidden to earn, for yeeeeaaars!!

      Process the claims as quickly as possible, if they have all their papers then that would be a matter of weeks, then allow them to work, that’s how we cut the benefits system down and raise the taxes we’re earning to help those that are more complex or need more help.
