Unless you have a better idea, step back and give Rwanda a chance
Press Releases


Seriously. A loaded studio audience horrified at the prospect that an asylum seeker from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the DRC, flees the safety of France on a dinghy only to find he could be sent to next door Rwanda who are apparently in conflict with his country..

Stay in the safety of France then instead of taking a perilous crossing which you’ve needlessly risked your life to take and only now when you learn you could be sent to Rwanda are you worried about losing it.


The truth is, most crossing via dinghy are economic migrants after all they’ve paid over the odds to get here. Frankly they don’t want to live in tents that, get this, are provided by other European countries. Who can blame them. Hotel in the UK or tent in Greece? Mmm, let me see.

Whilst Chris Philp did not handle that exchange well, he’s right when he said Rwanda is a different county and I think he was confused as to why he’d received such a harsh response and started to question his own answer.

This only proves one thing that the Rwanda deterrent would deter people from the DRC paying people traffickers to come to the UK from the safety of France via dangerous dinghy’s.

And in fact, I think judging by the overall response to shut this down, Rwanda may well have the all-round desired effect of making people think twice before they risk their lives to cross the channel from an already safe country.

Surely nobody wants people to carry on taking this deadly route which is proven most are economic migrants and that it’s an industry which is packed with dodgy lawyers, people traffickers and questionable charities.

Andrew Mitchell the deputy foreign secretary criticised the Lords for their objections to the Rwanda bill this week. He said: “Some of the discussions that have gone on in the lords about the traditional arrangements to legal arrangements with Rwanda, have been patronising, and in my view, border on racism.”

He called the people smugglers the modern-day equivalent of slave traders?

But where is the outrage from the BBC audience about the people traffickers who are pocketing billions and risking lives. As far as I could see, nobody batted an eyelid at the prospect of somebody risking their life after paying a trafficker who couldn’t care whether they lived or died to come to this country, they were more bothered about whether Chris Philp knows where the Congo is.

Where is the outrage for the people in this country waiting months even years to get treatment because our services are so outstretched? People dying as a result. What about those deaths?

Many on NHS waiting lists have been or are taxpayers, who have contributed to the welfare system of this country for decades so it would to be available in their hour of need..

Where is the outrage for the millions that we are spending to foot the bill to house channel migrants which is eating into the foreign aid budget meant to assist poorer nations, but instead housing people, many of whom shouldn’t be here at all and are economic migrants?

Next they’ll be a wave of migrants claiming they’ve come from the DRC to avoid being sent to Rwanda.. Sounds to me like a lot of people are worried about Rwanda.

It seems there are people in this county hell bent on finding any way to stop the Rwanda scheme from working with no valid alternative.

We cannot carry on like this, it is completely unsustainable and unless you have a better idea, I suggest you step back and give Rwanda a chance.
