@goose67515820@Shot_fox You really didn’t understand the article did you? That quote was directed at the people who wrote the article, not Chris Packham.
@Astro_Angry It seems unlikey that it will stop those who need to risk their lives to come here as only a small percentage will be sent to Rwanda. Strikes me as an expensive way to gain a few votes.

Victoria Derbyshire speaks with an asylum seeker from Iran, Nima Moradi
"When I left my country, I wasn't thinking about the destination, I was thinking about being safe"
"When I was in Greece I was thinking to go to Germany, but when I was granted asylum I thought, because I can speak English, I will go to England"
"The Rwanda bill will not stop asylum seekers coming to the UK.. See how many people are trying to cross the channel last night.. People have access to information.. They know the bill has passed.. But still they will try to cross the channel.. Because they will think that they won't be amongst the 1% selected to go to Rwanda"
"If there was a safe route for me to claim asylum.. For example if the UK had a center I could claim asylum.. I would do that instead of paying people smugglers £3,000 but I crossed because there was no safe route to apply for asylum"
@mrjamesob@WorthingPeoples I was an avid listener in 2019 but don't remember detailed explanations of why Corbyn would be disastrous. I do remember on election day you referring to his so-called anti-semitism at least 8 times whilst hardly mentioning Johnson's Russian connections nor Tory Islamophobia.
Boris Johnson lied his way to power, but he did not do so alone.
Today should be a day of reflection for all those in Parliament & in our media who indulged in his dishonesty.
For those of us who believed in something different, we will carry on fighting for a fairer world.
