If Tories can't send boat people to Rwanda If the Tories can't send boat people to Rwanda, they want to send them to Ascension Island in the South Atlatic: over a 1000 miles from Africa or South America. In addition, they plan to adopt the cruelty of Australia's right-wing government, which sent people to the exile island of Nauru and would never let them go to Australia. (I think most of them have been given asylum in other countries.) The Tories plan to do likewise, so that the people sent to Ascension Island would never get a hearing for asylum in Britain. The US has adopted a similar system of sending asylum seekers to Mexico unless they could afford to use one of the limited authorized ways for a refugee to enter the US — which are difficult for people from poor countries to use. Thus we see the principle that people who are denied human rights in their own countries should be able to get asylum in other countries being chipped away almost to nothing. |
