Rwanda is a flagship policy that says more about their intent rather than their ability to make it work. They’ll keep flogging that dead horse until they are winkled out of office.
This seems a poor policy that even those tasked with enforcing it didn’t want and they can quietly forget about it.
What it says most is that Suella Braverman wants to continue her father’s business of running concentration camps in Africa.
Her dad, who for some reason has a Hispanic name, is of Goan Indian descent but born and raised in Kenya. In 1960, during the Mau Mau uprising under which Kenya gained independence from the UK, he somehow was granted a UK passport - while the rest of his family fled back to India. Upon arriving to the UK, he landed a job as head of a housing association. Now, his daughter is an MP.
I’ve struggled to find hard evidence to confirm anything beyond the last paragraph, but it seems like there is a massive evidence-shaped hole that points to Braverman’s father running a British concentration camp in Kenya, one of many with horrible conditions that prompted Kenya’s revolution for independence.
Lately, the Tory government have neglected in processing migrants from the UK, instead opting to house them in hotels (often owned by party donors, and at UK taxpayer’s expense). Many of these people could have long been deported from our shores, but doing that would reduce the potential stockpile of people they could put into the proposed Rwanda concentration camps.
These are for profit businesses, run in a foreign country, which the UK taxpayer is paying to set up and accommodate. Furthermore, section 16.1 of the Rwanda deal says “the UK will accept ‘vulnerable migrants’ from Rwanda in return for those sent to Rwanda”. When pressed on the House of Lords, the government has refused to comment on how many migrants the government will be taking in return. Is it 1 for 1? More? Less? That is not defined.
They’re still fucking stealing from us. We’re paying their court bills and their salaries while they set up their tax haven businesses that the UK society will see a significant net cost from, with very little benefit.
Did they think twice with Rwanda?
