Sending illegal immigrants to Rwanda is wrong and crazy

According to the august Times newspaper Prince Charles has privately expressed his view that the Boris Johnson government's decision to send illegal immigrants for resettlement to Rwanda is "appalling". Of course he is right. How can any sensible-thinking person, let alone a minister with huge responsibilities - Priti Patel, Home Secretary - come up with such a daft and immoral idea? How on earth is sending immigrants to Rwanda going to solve the problem of boatloads of people trying to cross the Channel to gain refuge in Britain? It just hands the responsibility to another country. And even if the Rwandan government deals with the immigrants humanely and kindly and gives them homes and support, it is still a crazy idea to send anyone off to a foreign country rather than deal with the challenge here in the UK where the immigrants have chosen to come. I find it difficut to believe that the Supreme Cout where this will all surely end up will give the go ahead for such a scheme, for legal, moral and human rights reasons. There have been so many ideas like this in the past and none of them came to fruition. There was talk of sending illegal immigrants to Albania and way back there was a suggestion of putting them on a ship out at sea or in old army barracks. There is no question that the arrival of so many illegal immigrants in small boats is a huge problem, but carting them off to Rwanda is never going to work and is morally disgraceful. The Prince of Wales should tell Priti Patel in person, or Boris Johnson, that it will damage Britain's reputation immeasurably.
