Another overcrowded rubber boat capsized off Calais earlier this week.

Me thinks the sooner Rwanda gets ,literally,off the ground then hopefully we will see fewer of these fatal disasters. Will Rwanda deter these chancers?

Forgot to supply this link to the earlier boat sinking off Calais

Meh.

Chalk another one up to the Trobiscites who infest Europe and stop us dealing with this issue.

I don't think they'll believe it, retrocop.  The smugglers will dress it down as a propaganda attempt to deter them and assure them that it was all set up.  Either that or they'll start landing in more isolated places and just disappearing i.m.o..  

[retrocop]

It is believed the smugglers have bought a faulty batch of rubber boats.I suppose we can expect more to come.

I simply don't believe that a plane taking off for Rwanda, sadly, or even ten planes, will stop this sort of thing. This particular boat wasn't even in the Channel

Another xenophobe thread. Usual suspects.

ich that's just phase one of the journey.....

Do you have an opinion on these sinkings and Rwanda or do you just want to snipe with accusations from the sidelines?

 

 

[ToraToraTora]

canary is like all the naysayers, they love to oppose and moan about any solutions then moan that it's not being fixed. The Labour party has voted against at least 80 bills on immigration then they moan that it's not being fixed.

[retrocop]

I fail to see what is xenophobic ,in his opinion for what its worth, about a very recent news item that has only just been reported on LBCnews. Small wonder news on this site is rubbish with the likes of canary sniping on it.

RC has his picture from Hendon as an avatar . 

[naomi24]

Accusations of xenophobia, racism, etc, are designed to silence the opposition. 

Canary, why do you want them here?

[ToraToraTora]

Why is anne bringing in an avatar? What's the possible relevance of Jack Warner of DODG to this post?

[naomi24]

Pass.

[dave50]

Well they know the risks.

How will the immigrants know, before they set sail across the Channel, that they will probably end up in Rwanda?

"How will the immigrants know, before they set sail across the Channel, that they will probably end up in Rwanda?"

They almost certainly won't end up in Rwanda and they will know that. They can get news on the latest iPhones and discover what is already known. They can then use the "calculator" function on their latest iPhone to do a few sums.

The Rwanda plan, if it ever gets implemented, has an initial capacity of 200 migrants. This year it looks like "only" around 30,000 will have arrived by small boat. Even without the benefit of a calculator and taking advantage only of my primary school education, I reckon that just one in every 150 arrivals (at most) would end up in Rwanda. That seems pretty good odds to me and still worth making the trip.

The Rwanda Plan is a nonsense. Its cost is enormous and its deterrent value is as close to zero as makes no odds.
