I decided to break the away from previous comments in other threads because it represents another decision being taken "on our behalf" that we have not authorised....
Specifically, I noted on another forum that someone objected to the term "processed" to discuss what will happen to migrants sent to Rwanda according to current government plans. However, it became clear that it is not only the mechanistic term being used that is an issue, but the whole concept - so I think it right to repeat it here.
The term "processing" is also a carefully prepared lie. This scheme is being described as such for two reasons, both despicable...
Firstly, it makes people think that the "processing" is for acceptance as a refugee to the UK - which it is NOT. It is very clear that anyone being sent to Rwanda is being DEPORTED from the UK and will be processed for Asylum to Rwanda, i.e. for the right to stay in Rwanda, not for any right to enter or remain in the UK.
Secondly, it is being used to conflate this deportation scheme with earlier discussions of offshore processing, which were considered as a way to avoid the legal difficulties of deporting those whose claim for asylum is denied by the Home Office. This would have meant holding people offshore, not within the UK, whilst investigating their claim for Asylum, but then assigning refugee status to the UK, once their claim is accepted.
The difference between these two ideas is vast - particularly taken against the high proportion of such claimants to whom Asylum is actually granted under the current rules. However, it allows the pocket fascist to make claims (as she has already done in parliament) that she is building on David Blunkett's earlier proposal under the Labour government (which was for the latter), when in fact she is subverting this to put in place an unethical process amounting to immediate deportation.
Lies from this government? Surely not!!
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me
