This plan to cruelly send a tiny handful of asylum seekers to Rwanda is nothing but malice.
It is NOT about saving money or resources or any of the things people claim in defence of it.
It has just been announced that the government has paid Rwanda £100m this year on top of the £140m already paid. Another £50m is due. That JUST payments to Rwanda. That doesn't even factor in the legal costs that have already been involved in this and the costs of chartering the planes to actually physically send people there. £290 million just in payments to Rwanda. This is a lot more than it would cost to just keep the immigrants here.
Money thrown away for a pet Tory project of cruelty.
If they'd pumped that money into the NHS instead, they'd be well on the way towards the £350m promised on the Brexit bus...

Stoppit! It doesn't suit you.
Here, have a pretty flower. I expect you to rip its petals off and stomp on the remains or summat. 
Positivity indeed. Pah!

Benjamin Zephaniah has died. I realise this wont mean much to some of you, but he was brilliant (imo). I have loved his poetry for years, he was very socially, culturally, and politically minded. But he was so much more than a poet. He was a musician, actor and orator. He appeared on many tv shows (and as a panellist on Question Time and QI, he was that diverse!). I never saw it, but just found out he was in Peaky Blinders also.
I posted some of his work on here once, but the only positive comment I got came from murk! 
I am saddened by this one.

There is no budget for Rightardia next year. A statement from the Whitehouse reads:
|
Quote:
The President’s supplemental request is critical to advancing our national security interests—from delivering aid to Israel and Ukraine, to providing humanitarian assistance to innocent civilians across the globe, to strengthening border security and fighting the flow of fentanyl into the United States. These are bipartisan priorities that deserve bipartisan support. Today’s vote does nothing to change the fact that Congress must take action to address these pressing needs—including by providing urgently-needed funding for Ukraine before the end of this year.
There is a broad, bipartisan majority in Congress that supports Ukraine. That was true the day Putin launched this brutal war, and it remains true today. With funds to arm Ukraine nearly exhausted, we now face a defining moment of truth: will the United States continue to stand with Ukraine in its fight for freedom, or will we ignore the lessons of history and let Putin and autocracy prevail?
The stakes are too high and the consequences too grave to allow a minority in Congress to hold Ukraine funding hostage over any unrelated issue. The world is watching, and history will judge us. If we walk away and Putin takes Ukraine, he won’t stop there. It’s time for Congress to fund our critical national security priorities. It’s time for Congress to fund Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorists, Ukraine’s right to defend itself against Russian aggression, and the United States to secure our border and stop the flow of fentanyl into the country.

Squeaky bum time for elensky. No money means no war.
Where's those idiots that celebrated Mariupol being taken a couple of months back, you fucking idiots.
Say bye-bye to the war. It's over in weeks, days or hours.
