NJ "those seeking asylum often tell lies and the UK asylum system is unfit for purpose."

For them to have lied, their claims must have been found to be false, their applications rejected and any subsequent appeals refused.

What percentage of applicants have telt lies then?

According to Diane Abbott,-2,781% of applicants have told lies,TCL.

//What percentage of applicants have telt lies then?//

I've no idea. But some get found out so, since the asylum system is a shambles, it quite likely that many do not. There have been cases where young men, clearly into adulthood, have passed themselves off as children and others where asylum seekers have been granted asylum on the basis that they face peril at home, only to see them jet off whence they came in order to visit family and friends. The asylum screening process has no way of checking the veracity of many of these claims. In particular, those coming from France are in no immediate danger and an asylum application is open to them there - they simply don't like it where they are. The idea of asylum is to seek refuge from immediate peril or persecution but it is now being abused to such a degree that it is disreputable.

People are trying to justify the unjustifiable. Like Sinn Fein politicians of the past justifying every IRA atrocity. Rwanda is 4,000 miles away, has a decidely dubious human rights records and the location of an ethnic genocide in 1994.
How many of those sent to Rwanda are going to come back? The House of Lords and the law courts must defeat this evil, immoral plan

Word reaches us, from no less an authority than the BBC, that things have improved beyond all recognition in Rwanda when it comes to folk getting along so that may put your mind at ease.

Of course travellers can avoid the Dark Continent altogether simply by staying at home and helping sort out their own problems.

Preachy types are in low demand too.

You need not worry, fiveleaves, because the chances of any migrants being sent there are vanishingly small.

The House of Lords will not be involved because no new legislation is proposed.
