Asylum-seeker round-ups speculative, UK

The UK has jailed asylum seekers from some very dangerous countries as preparation for sending them to Rwanda. These include Sudan, Eritrea and Afghanistan. A refugee from one of those countries has a good chance of qualifying for asylum.

The UK has become incompetent at all sorts of ordinary government transactions. I don't know why, but I suspect (1) budget cuts have left insufficient staff to do the job and (2) a desire to punish asylum seekers and drive them away. Perhaps also bureaucratic rigidity and unwillingness to give those staff any responsibility.

The result of this is that judging an asylum case takes years, so the number of asylum seekers grows and grows.
