Someone else who fled that hellhole known as France eh? Clearly this guy can't be sent back to Iran, and there's absolutely no reason to send him to Rwanda. And I'm not entirely sure why we'd want to send him back to France. He's a cop with a moral backbone. This guy would fall into the category of those we should be keeping here. Well, aside from the fact he came here dangerously and illegally, while paying criminals to get him here. That's a problem, as I've discussed before. It makes no sense to risk your life to flee France. I really don't get it. I do get why you'd risk your life to flee Iran. But France? Nobody has explained that to me yet in satisfactory terms.

The people scheduled to be on that flight just seemed to be a random selection of asylum seekers they'd plucked off a dingy. Certainly there was no justification for calling that Iranian police officer an illegal asylum seeker, unless you think fleeing jail for not shooting protestors isn't a valid reason to seek asylum.
idk why we're sending these people to Rwanda instead of France. And no, fleeing jail in Iran doesn't make you an illegal asylum seeker. Coming here on a dingy does though.

Experts are saying the whole Rwanda plan is most likely going to be deemed illegal by intn'l law. One can only guess what their motivation was for trying it. It's almost certainly not going to stop people traffickers even if it does end up happening.
Gotta say I agree 100% here. It's surely illegal, and it's going to do fuck all to stop future incidents.

Cunts are just indifferent to others' suffering. They don't want any refugees. ANR think brown people don't deserve help, but Ukranians do. That's where the G word comes in.
Maybe they think people fleeing Ukraine deserve help but not people fleeing France. I can understand that viewpoint. France isn't at war, France isn't dangerous. I'm not the only person in the country who doesn't understand why people are putting their wives and children on dinghies to flee France.
