Living in Rwanda..

Post by Dodgy69 »

Been browsing and seems to me this ain't a bad option. Cost of living is 50% cheaper than UK. Driving licence OK, employment available, For anyone struggling in modern Britain, it could be a better life.

What you reckon. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Sending migrants to Rwanda has to be a brilliant idea. Have teams of highly trained Group 4 staff separate the economic migrants from genuine refugees as they arrive, migrants straight to the airport and when the plane is full, off it goes.

It's lovely if you go out of genocide season but there's usually a lot of spare, cheap accommodation after it.

Climate is quite pleasant. :thumbup:

'Rwanda has a temperate tropical highland climate, with lower temperatures than are typical for equatorial countries because of its high elevation. Kigali, in the centre of the country, has a typical daily temperature range between 12 and 27 Β°C (54 and 81 Β°F), with little variation through the year'.

It took them a while to get past the 'Group 3' name after they lost a prisoner.

Or just send anyone that has passed through several European countries to get on a dinghy in France, if they really want to claim assylum in a safe country then there's been plenty of opportunity.

Didn't someone on the previous forum incarnation used to be a deportee 'handler' ie used to accompany them on their extradition flight? That must have been fun. 'I'm just taking you back to the place you left because you feared for your life. Chin up mate, the flight's free and I'm sure there'll be someone there to meet you'. :thumbup:

We could do with a few more enterprising, determined, risk takers. :thumbup:

I've no idea if the number asylum applications has remained steady since Brexit, but as someone on here pointed out a couple of weeks ago: before Brexit an asylum seeker could apply for asylum in the UK from any EU country, now they have to be in the UK, hence the big increase in boat crossings.

So they move to Dordogneshire to live among a nice, white, English, monoglot population. Read The Advertiser, drink nice cups of tea and buy nice, white, sliced bread from the English baker to toast and put their Dundee marmalade on, while moaning about the French and England. :thumbup:

At what point does an assylum seeker become an economic migrant? Maybe it is when they have had the opportunity to claim assylum in a safe country and decided they want more.
