The home secretary is challenged over evidence that refugees were shot dead by police there in 2018.

"It's safe because the Rwandan Government, who we are paying lots of money to, said so."
"But what about the evidence of these Congolese refugees being shot in 2018?"
"I'm not familiar with that report because that would involve doing actual research and not just picking a country to dump refugees in as it's politically convenient."
Honestly, all that says is they haven't done enough if any research into Rwanda and completely undermines the whole idea to the point they should scrap it.
My wife made the point that other countries let refugees waiting for asylum work, but the UK doesn't even when it has a labour shortage. Why can't the UK learn from other countries. I told her because this isn't a logical decision based on facts. It's an emotional decision designed to create an enemy for conservative voters and create fear and anger at a particular group. It's how the Tories operate. Lineker was right to compare the language used to Nazi Germany. Only real difference is instead of rounding them up into concentration camps the Tories are trying to ship them to Rwanda to remove the problem.
