One(!) voluntary failed asylum seeker departed for Rwanda yesterday ... as Yvette Cooper observes

The 'Tories are so desperate to get any flight off to Rwanda before the local elections that they have now just paid someone to go...

British taxpayers aren’t just forking out £3,000 for a volunteer to board a plane, they are also paying Rwanda to provide him with free board & lodgings for the next five years... [and] is likely to be costing on average £2mn per person.”

For people concerned about the proposed #asylumSeeker roundup in preparation for deportation to #Rwanda there's a list of local #AntiRaids groups here:

They're truly the pits. A cynical, cruel, pitiless party who will happily drag desperate people into detention and then force them out of the country (at great expense, for those concerned about such things) for nothing more than political advantage.

Rwanda flight detentions to begin within weeks, Home Office says

The Home Office says it is in final phase of implementing the policy, with reports detentions will begin on Monday.

^{BBC News}

"Police in Scotland have been put on alert because of the high risks of street protests and attempts by pro-refugee campaigners to stop detentions.

Local communities in Scotland have twice prevented deportations by staging mass protests on Kenmure Street in Glasgow, in May 2021, and in Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, in June 2022."

We need the spirit of Kenmure Street across the UK.

The Home Office will launch a surprise operation to detain asylum seekers across the UK tomorrow..
Officials will hold refugees who turn up for routine meetings at immigration offices & also pick people up nationwide.
They will be immediately transferred to previously prepared detention centres & held to be put on later flights to Rwanda.

Anyone who takes part in this disgusting operation is breaking international law.

A sad day for human rights and a terrifying one for asylum seekers in the UK, who are made scapegoats for a failing government.
