The best bit is during the election campaign, they claimed it was Labour opposing the bill that stopped it being implemented, when as everyone knows, they had a big seat majority, so that wouldn't have stopped it getting through the Commons. They found it hard getting it through the Tory dominated Lords, as plenty of Tory Lords refused to back the pitiful scheme.

Cleverlys reply, that he is more hurt by Rwanda not being properly informed (Labour were in opposition when they said they weren't keeping the policy) & claim it is due to racism is a disgrace. And the fact he is so offended by courtesy rather than the eye-watering amounts of tax payers money that was wasted is shocking. This from the man who is reported as saying, before he became the Home Secretary, that Rwanda policy was a "shit show", just shows the ridiculous nature of his response.

Although the comment might sound discriminating to some people, but, believe it, it is not about discrimination, but more or less like a question. Many countries have multi racial communities, especially with the skin colour and lifestyles, including the rituals. Many immigrants parents end- up giving birth to their children in those countries. Only the skin colour, their livestyles, etc will denotes that. For an example, in India, Europe, Russia, to mention but Only the few, their communities will never even dream of putting any child born from an immigrant as a president or prime minister. In India, the Indian community won't even dream of electing a black person as their president even if that person was born and breath there, no matter how entitled or qualified that person is, while in UK it looks like it sounds easy for them to do that. Characteristics mention above are not considered as to whether it is important to consider them as presidents or prime minister?, no matter how that person rich, intelligent, etc, they are. As the community needs someone who knows everything about their countries, ancestors, rituals, etc. As the community feels like it is crossing the boundaries or undermining the intelligent of the people who are supposed to lead them. Which might make a little bit of sense, as Priti, Braverman, Rishy, are determined to sent the immigrants to where their parents are originally from. The UK community feels like it is OK for such UK citizens to qualify for all the government benefits, while they feel that but absolutely not eligible to be considered as the UK prime ministers or presidents.
