Rwanda population density 525 per Km2 vs United Kingdom population density 281 per Km2. In 2022 Rwanda GDP = USD13 Billion / U.K. GDP = USD3 Trillion Rwanda GDP per capita USD958 /U.K. USD45k.

Why not just have processing centres in the first safe country paid for by each country, then agree the numbers each European country will take for those who are genuine. Then when the limit has been reached negotiate with countries outside Europe who can take the additional people. If the cost is shared with other European countries it brings the cost down. That cuts out the traffickers. Shola is correct though if you treat white people fleeing conflict differently then it looks like racism. It should be possible to deal with this issue without demonising people.

What's wrong with Rwanda?

The question should be "what's wrong with the Rwanda plan?". I'd say the 1-for-1 exchange is a pretty critical flaw for a measure being sold as a fix for the strain on our infrastructure.

It costs more per asylum seeker to host them there than in the UK. And it’s for a maximum of 200 people. It’s a waste of money and most likely another con to funnel our money in Tory cronies pockets.

If and a BIG IF Sunak gets a plane off the ground with 20-50 people on board to Rwanda he (Sunak) will stand in front of the camera saying yes it’s working now … but the tabloids will show pictures of multiple boats landing on our shores the same day 😡🤬🤬🤬

British interference destabilising the country never crosses the mind of the commenters who complain about the Irish in Britain. It's why they have free movement to Britain since independence, because they used to be the cheap labour source from a poor country: the English people signed petitions in their thousands to end the union with Ireland in the 1830s to stop the "influx" of poor Irish workers into their towns and cities

We have heard Ukraine is the largest country, but in Africa it won't be amongst those considered as large.

Let Dr Shola speak, please.

Stopping the boats isn't an issue, sending people to Rwanda is an issue. It can only be a deterrent if they don't like it in Rwanda and who knows what the Rwandans will do to make sure they don't. There is money in it for them. The criminal gangs are in France not Rwanda.

Using a third country can only be a deterrent if tens of thousands can go there. Even then you have to ask yourself why if people are prepared to risk death in a small boat crossing a channel, why would a small chance of being sent to another country deter them.

Exactly

Safe routes, processing centre in France, ability to process asylum applications in other countries and generally working asylum system that processed claims quickly and efficiently. Deport those that don't have a claim, no issues with that. This was a non-issue under Labour because we had safe routes and a working asylum system. The Tories have literally engineered this problem, they have created a backlog, they have closed safe routes, they are using these people as political pawns, as distractions for the other messes they have caused. Immigration is not actually a priority issue either for most of the country, last time I looked it was around 4th or 5th, and those numbers are artificially inflated by our biased media that drives it as perceived problem because it suits the propaganda of the Tories to be a problem. Immigration is not causing the NHS issues, our schools to crumble, the cost of living crisis etc. it simply isn't, certainly 40-50k people on small boats are not (around 30% we can deport). It's all one big Tory lie generated to distract and divide. Luckily from the polls most people aren't buying it.
