It's vague bullshit - when he was asked about specifics he didn't answer the questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but, you see, they're absolutely definitely not sending them specifically to Rwanda! Gotcha! That's the real issue that ordinary decent people have with this policy, as they keep telling us on the doorsteps. Wonder if Syria are up for taking in any refugees from...erm... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Didn't she also say that Labour would bring down immigration but despite repeated questioning decided not to mention a figure or a percentage? Pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I believe it was a Labour govt, under Blair, that first considered sendling ayslum seekers/ migrants to another country. Not sure if it was specifically Rwanda. Anyway, gives the Red Tories a chance to say they've scrapped the policy while actually sticking with the right-wing ethos behind it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) Notice on one of the candidates social media there's the usual pledges, with Number 2 being "cut NHS waiting times" - I thought the NHS was devolved so how does that work (other than throwing more money at it)? And number 6 is "Maximise Scotland's influence" - what exactly does that mean, like how much influence would Scotland be getting on a scale of current situation to total control of the UK decisions?

Yeah but it's a formulaic response when a PM/FM resigns (from all parties) and no-one actually it expects it to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
