Genuine question about #UKPolitics:
The #Tory #Rwanda policy is performative cruelty: inhumane, unworkable, expensive.
But why do people think it won't work as a deterrent?
Of course it won't deter a desperate person from leaving war-torn Afghanistan or Syria, but it doesn't need to do that. It just needs to deter them from taking that last leg of the journey from France to Britain. Wouldn't it do that?
(For non-Brits, the govt wants to deport all illegal immigrants to Rwanda.)
