    If this had happened in my country (UK) he’d be in a concentration camp by now.

    Nice to know some countries are still civilised

      Can you provide context and a source for that claim? Seems very sensational and hyperbolic

      Edited to add: it was sensational and hyperbolic. They were referring to asylum centres to reduce the cost of housing asylum seekers. There are issues here but they are certainly not concentration camps - calling them such is at minimum very disrespectful to those who have suffered and died in actual concentration camps.

          You are correct. Braverman and Sunak are appealing the decision by the Court of Appeal because they’re inhuman but so far no one has been sent to Rwanda just yet.

            They’ve also said they want to take away our human rights laws and leave the ECHR. Once they take away all those pesky human rights we’ll be all set. I, for one, am sick of all these fucking humans acting as if the human societies that humans built should serve humans and protect humans and encourage humans to prosper. Humans rights? Makes me sick. Can’t wait to get rid of them and show these humans who really matters, the people really in charge: [character limit reached]
