Rwanda, safe? I think it highly unlikely! Yet this government instead of admitting that they have made a terrible error of judgement, keep doubling down and insisting it is a fair policy. Sunak is now making noises about withdrawing from The European Court of Human Rights! This is not just a terrible idea for refugees but affects all of us, it removes all of our rights, which the Conservatives having being eroding for years! What has happened to our country that we are so afraid of people trying to escape their circumstances? Let them in and improve the processing. If they have no right to be here or are undesirable then send them back. It is not a difficult decision. I think we all realise, that we cannot take everyone applying to live in the UK. I would ask who is going to do all the jobs that our indigenous population no longer wants to do? These people want to earn money live their lives and many will pay taxes and contribute to our society. There always be an element of criminality that slips through the net, that is inevitable and we have laws that deal with that.
I am convinced that the majority of people are firmly against this cruel and unjust policy. You certainly don’t hear many people putting their heads above the parapet to support it. There are many who clearly oppose the scheme and have said so publicly.
Changing the subject completely, Golf! The Saudi’s have set up a rival golf tour LIV. We all know that the Saudi’s have a terrible human rights record and are often accused of trying to improve their reputation by what is known as “sports washing”! Leaving that to one side, what is the problem with professional golfers who earn their living by playing joining another tour. There are many golf tours in a number of places, so if a player decides he or she can do better, is paid more, plays less for more money than so what? Without getting into the politics or details about world ranking points or exemption to play in the 4 majors, these are not amateur’s who have suddenly defected to the professional ranks. Golfers have been playing professionally for 100 years or more. In any other profession you are allowed to choose who you are employed by and if you choose to earn more working for another then that is your choice. I know it not quite the same but the principal remains!
Stay well
