THE proposal to deport asylum-seekers 4,000 miles away to Rwanda is a desperate and shameful announcement by Boris Johnson in an attempt to dehumanise refugees, pit our communities against each other and distract from his own law breaking.
The announcement demonstrates that there are no depths this government is not willing to sink to in order to divide and rule our country and protect its own interests.
It is a cruel, racist, unworkable, unethical and extortionate policy that would cost the British taxpayer billions of pounds during a cost-of-living crisis and which abandons our legal obligation to refugees and asylum-seekers.
