We've had some insane propositions from the Brexiters over the past six or seven years but this is near the top.Why are you focusing on technicalities?

It is the most insane because it's based snatching people without even have a clue about their identity. The concept is amusing but the fact that a former MEP proposed it is a bit frightening.We've had some insane propositions from the Brexiters over the past six or seven years but this is near the top.
Yes. After they've kidnapped them then they set sail to the nearest Rwandan port.
It is even more frightening when you look at some of the responses of the tweet. Brexiters and other idiots seem to think it's a good idea.It is the most insane because it's based snatching people without even have a clue about their identity.

Australia does this. We either push the boats back to another country or take people to Christmas Island then onto offshore detention in places like PNG and Nauru. I believe you got this horrendous idea from us. Every single person arriving by boat is treated as an illegal (not a refugee) and even if later assessed as a refugee they will virtually never make it to Australia and in some cases stays in offshore detention for many many years. The idea is to make trying to get to Australia as a refugee worse than going elsewhere or staying where you are and being persecuted to discourage arrivals.Are they supposed to pick up all people sailing in the channel and take them to Rwanda?
I keep forgetting that Australia does that.Australia does this.

We all want to be in control of our borders but there has to be a better middle ground than shipping everyone off to indefinite offshore detention in third world gulags (sorry PNG but that is in effect what they are).
Still recall Sunderland being first to report they had voted for Brexit. What were people in the North East thinking?https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-w...tains-competitiveness-new-study-says-12638190
Pretty comprehensive statement on the damage Brexit has done to the UK.
Shame it will get little media coverage due to other events.
Topical given the RMT's open support for Brexit.https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-w...tains-competitiveness-new-study-says-12638190

This project fear is really getting out of hand, if everyone just stopped moaning about petty things things like being able to pay their rent, electricity or buy food and be positive about Brexit then I'm sure it would be a roaring success.https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-w...tains-competitiveness-new-study-says-12638190

Imagine Nelson flagging Victory with another country's colours. The Royal Navy must be happy about this idea.Yeah sounds like a great plan I'm sure the land locked country of Rwanda have a fleet of ships they can send up.
Love the irony by the way. Made me smile.This project fear is really getting out of hand, if everyone just stopped moaning about petty things things like being able to pay their rent, electricity or buy food and be positive about Brexit then I'm sure it would be a roaring success.
That was the problem... they weren't thinking.Still recall Sunderland being first to report they had voted for Brexit. What were people in the North East thinking?
Just like people voting for trump, or boris, it represented a change from the norm which some of the working class areas were desperate for. Desperate people do desperate things… usually without thinking it throughStill recall Sunderland being first to report they had voted for Brexit. What were people in the North East thinking?
They shouldn't be solely blamed. The vote was won by well-off older people living in the South.Still recall Sunderland being first to report they had voted for Brexit. What were people in the North East thinking?
Yeah, not blaming them particularly; just think people in those areas should have been more acutely aware of the impact of losing EU funding and access to EU markets.They shouldn't be solely blamed. The vote was won by well-off older people living in the South.
Pretty sure that's one of the main reasons the Tory's want to get rid of it.Brexit: NI Protocol 'helps lessen impact on NI economy'

You know you're in trouble when readers of the Sun and the Express start deciding the laws of the UK.Rees-Mogg claims new online dashboard will help public nominate retained EU laws that could be scrapped
Jacob Rees-Mogg, the minister for Brexit opportunities, is making his Commons statement now.
He says Brexit was never an end in itself, but a means by which the UK could achieve great things.
He says the goverment wants the country to be the most sensibly regulated country in the world.
Lord Frost, his predecessor, launched a review into retained EU law, he says.
Rees-Mogg says not all Brexit freedoms can be grasped at once.
He says the public has great interest in what laws can be repealed. He says he is grateful to the readers of the Sun and Daily Express for the many suggestions they sent in.
The government is today launching a dashboard with details of more than 2,400 retained EU laws, covering more than 300 policy areas, he says.
He says the dashboard will keep a tally as retained laws are removed.
He says he is again inviting the public to share their ideas as to what EU retained laws should be retained, amended or repealed.
He describes his dashboard as “the supply side reformer’s El Dorado”.
And he also says it is good that the UK left the EU before it decided to mandate what sort of phone chargers firms should use. That is a typically short-sighted EU law that will reduce innovation, he claims.

I'd say so yeah.Pretty sure that's one of the main reasons the Tory's want to get rid of it.
What’s slow about it?The UK is imploding slowly isnt it.
Once they get rid of the Human rights Bill we are back in the 1850's where nobody gave a shite if a kid died stuck up a chimney or starved to death on a street corner.The UK is imploding slowly isnt it.
Back to 1706 when Scotland becomes independentOnce they get rid of the Human rights Bill we are back in the 1850's where nobody gave a shite if a kid died stuck up a chimney or starved to death on a street corner.
But Scotland wont be allowed to rebel once they reverse the common folks right to vote.Back to 1706 when Scotland becomes independent
It's fine, we got our blue passports.Tweet

Easy to laugh at now, even easier than it was to laugh at back then, but I know a lot of people who argued pro brexit exactly along the lines being presented here.Tweet

It's funny how bashing the EU has now long replaced titties as the attraction of the Sun. Probably say's something about the virility of it's readership these daysTweet

Yeah that's what I thought too. "Waiting lists will be shorter due to controlled immigration". It's awful how complex issues get turned into videos like this without any sort of nuance.‘Immigration’ sure is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in that short clip.
I was more perplexed by the wage increases due to less immigration. As an example farming and the food industry are low profit margin activities, if you increase significantly wage it will be repercuted on prices. Many services are in the same boat with low profit margins.Yeah that's what I thought too. "Waiting lists will be shorter due to controlled immigration".

Phew! Thank god for that, I'd been wondering about when the government were going to focus on important issues like this which affect our day to day lives.Tweet
