So #RishiSuank has accepted a bet (on TV) by Piers Morgan on his ability to make the #Rwanda #migrants policy work before the election.
There are two major problems here:
a. it (unsurprisingly) trivialises the trauma that the #Tories are imposing on migrants...
b. at a time when #gambling is increasingly seen as a major social problem, it endorses that social behaviour.
Caroline Lucas (quoted in FT), points out: 'These are people’s lives they’re gambling over'!
