Is that the woman who took a private jet to lecture us all about saving the planet ? Not really worth listening to her .

[@MastersApprentices]

What does this even mean?!

[@Paddehj]

@@MastersApprentices It's clear, the public should've been consulted about immigration instead of it being enforced on us against our will. Any future mass migration should be put to a vote, rather than enacted by stealth by liberal elites who think they know what's good for the common population.

[@hanimishak9362]

Do u have a better idea where to send the illegal immigrant or asylum seekers? Rwanda its not the best destination but its still better than allowing them to settle in the UK. Of course if possible these people want to go to a rich and cold country. Rwanda is the opposite of the UK. The most important thing is it safe

is she going to take them all home and with all her money she can keep them not the tax payer

[@DerekDogsforSentience]

I love Emma as an actress, however she should JUST act as she is completely out of touch regarding what the general population is experiencing and feeling regarding the ECONOMIC MIGRANTS who are totally not refugees. Yes we want to help refugees but not economic migrants. If the Rwanda settlement is enough to stop the people traffickers so be it! If they don’t want to go to Rwanda they will not approach these horrendous creatures who make money from desperate people. France is also stating their distain. If France doesn’t like the solution this country has come to, France needs to do more to help these people instead of helping them onto the boats.

[@pavolkocis7456]

Exactly, whatever happens we'll pay for it anyway by our taxes. But I rather to pay for the illegals over there in Rwanda than have to pay and see them on my doorstep.

[@roymaddocks3184]

I find it unfortunate that folks label refugees they don't like 'economic migrants' so that they may disqualify them from ethical and humane treatment. Did your forbears ever cross a national boundary to better themselves? Were they relegated to a distant, impoverished, unstable land?

[@paulsamson6039]

She doesn't even want to live in this country anymore as I understand it she's moving or moved to Italy so what's it got to do with her. She won't be waiting on a housing list like all the British people waiting for homes or waiting ages for a hospital appointment because she's stuffed with money.

[@Rm345hhhyi45]

Aww that’s amazing she’s offering to put them all up in her house and pay for them all instead of the tax payers!
