I have a dumb question. If agter an investigation is complete and it is proven that the tories when into an agreement with Rwanda was known to be a complete bad decision, can the torie decision-making be made to repay the 3 hundred million?
@@user-oo6ef4ho4r I don't want to speak up for nasty Tories, but 300mil isn't that much, considering what they have tried to achieve. It was really a waste of money, but I do believe some really were hoping they could do it. That being said, my bigger gripe was with renting a barge, or paying hotels to accommodate asylum seekers. The main thing I would note is - they did think about short term solutions for long term issues. A house is paid mostly once upfront, hotel is paid monthly(daily, weekly), but you never own it, never have a share of it. They built nothing, achieved nothing - and totally deserved what they got.
@@nothereandthereanywherea more pertinent point would be the 1.5 TRILLION added to national debt over the past 14 years. None of that benefited the public, so where the hell did that go??? Concentrating on the 'smaller' thefts is a bit disingenuous.
@@avalanche816 Rwanda was not theft by a long mile. It was a price we all have to pay for a stupid policy to delight few morons in this country. About that 1.5 Trillion, that is a huge price indeed. I don't know where it has all gone, that would take ages to find out. But not all of it was for wasted projects. Yes, Tories have thrown a lot of cash around on projects that had no benefit and for their donor friends. But not that amount of the cash.
How do British workers do 100% of the work in 80% of the time? Britannia Unchained: "British workers are "among the worst idlers in the world"" Perhaps you owe Truss, Raab and Patel an apology James 🙂
People revert to "you know" when their true beliefs are battered and they're desperately trying to don on a new public face. The cognitive dissonance of creating that lie and of hiding a true self that is now unaccepotable makes it hard to be fluent. Faking reasonableness after being a willing party to sadistic partisanship is a bit wrenching. It's also what racists sound like when pushed back under their rocks.

The sun has risen on a freshly laundered Labour country. Ahh, the smell of freshly baked Thick sliced Competence, generously spread with integrity !

For me, it's the quieting of cruel press coverage of the equally ugly culture wars.
Gordon Brown was the last serious & competent prime minister the UK had, and coincidentally he was of the Labour Party.

No, I believe there is a law that protects them from the decisions they have made. Just like no one is being prosecuted for PPE fast lanes.
@@nothereandthereanywhere damn, three hundred million, my God.
