Yesterday I used some foul-mouthed terms to describe the Conservative Government and their far-right rebels holding out for these so called Rwanda flights. Make no mistake: refugees, the small boats are mere tools to what the real aim is. Namely, to put ministers above the law.
@MartinVeart Yes indeed. 60 ultrarights circling the plughole of obscurity doing a last voodoo dance before their base, in a vain attempt to overturn the Rule of Law and separation of powers. They will fail, irrespective of whether this putrid bill passes.
@MartinVeart It is a piece of declaratory legislation, declaring something to be so (that Rwanda is safe for deportees) that is both not so, and would be proved to be not so, if implemented. Passing such drivel as the law of the United Kingdom will stand as a monument to the degree of these Tories' detachment from reality. Even once repealed, i predict instruction will be given to law undergraduates about it, as an example of its kind.
@RejoinEU it is more in my view. It will set the precedent that a government can pass a law that states a minister’s decision is above the courts, above the rule of law. Once this is passed about refugees, it can be passed again for anything, over anyone.
