The current British government has no such plans as far as I know. The previous, Conservative one did.
Yes, sorry. Wrote has instead of had.
I mean they're likely just morally bankrupt enough to be willing to profit off rightwing twats' bigotry.
Fash support fash. USA gotta support genocide in multiple countries at once.
American Africans?
Hopeful look...American South Africans too ? South Africans with drug issues and who apparently overstayed their visa at one stage ?
Maybe maybe please ?
Why are we following in the UK Tory party footsteps? First Donald crashes the economy like Liz Truss. Now he's spending ridiculous amounts of money to house migrants like Rishi Sunak.
Is Rupert Murdoch just calling the shots in 2 countries?
3 countries, Australia too. Labor have to tip toe around him
He also assassinated a head of state like Liz Truss did.
They all follow roughly the same playbook but Trump has taken it to a whole new level
Sunak spent something crazy like $1m per person sent to Rwanda.
More like the Conservative government spent in the region of £700m on the scheme, and sent only 4 people there.
"We are working with other countries to say, 'We want to send you some of the most despicable human beings,'" he said
Gee, I can't imagine why countries aren't just lining up to accept people ... /S
Not next, it's already happened once in mid-April.
Liberia 2.0?
