UK is providing £370 million in development funding to Rwanda, plus another £120 million once 300 people have been relocated. The UK will also pay up to £171,000 per person relocated, largely to cover a five-year integration package. To date, £240 million has been paid over.
The best bit is that no one mentions that the deal is reciprocal so we could potentially be receiving refugees from Rwanda

All those economic migrants trying to sneak into Rwanda will find themselves deported to Britain?

But what if it works and people decide not to come here because they might get sent to Africa?

Say 100k people stay in France instead of crossing the channel, how much would that have saved us in homing, feeding and benefits?

I've no idea, just playing devil's advocate.

Just saw on the news that volunteers get 3 grand to bugger off to Rwanda.

Stay there a couple of weeks, then head for Calais again.
Round and round, taking the easy money :D

Another man, in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary after the vehicle he was travelling in was stopped on the A6 near Chapel-en-le-Frith on Wednesday afternoon.

Honour amongst alleged thieves. Buggered off and left his injured oppo to carry the can.

Aggravated burglary! Deffo the right choice, but no real winners here with lives lost and ruined all round!

I've never heard of a farmer that didn't have gun, so breaking into a farmers place is a pretty stupid thing to do.
