Uk here we thought about it and we are still doing it

This is the move where the Conservative government shows: all the bad stuff that you said about us was true but not far enough

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)

> The new UN human rights chief has urged the British government to reconsider its plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, warning that in the past similar "Offshoring" schemes had led to "Deeply inhuman" treatment of refugees.

> Türk, an Austrian lawyer and former assistant high commissioner at the UN refugee agency, said he had seen how Australia's offshore processing centres on Nauru and Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, had been marked by human rights abuses.

> "The way that asylum seekers were treated in Nauru and Manus was deeply, deeply inhuman," said Türk. The UK government rejects any comparison between the two schemes as "Fundamentally wrong", insisting that the deportees will have their asylum claims processed by Rwanda in accordance with international human rights law and will not be detained while that process is ongoing.

A brit having no shame? There's a shock

They all need to be deported world wide until they do it legally period.

Then there must be a legal route by which they can do it.

How does asylum happen legally?

I'm curious. So I'm at Heathrow/Gatwick and approach immigration asking for asylum is that legal (I've got examples of people who have done this should you need them)?

What does the word asylum mean in your world? You ask for asylum then get flown to the other side of the world to what I would consider a questionable country(dictators going dictate) and are dropped off with the hope they're safer than they would have been were they to stay where they already were?

You simply had to ask for it last I checked and they simply have to say no. Allow you an appeal or at the very least make your request to another country, they just want to be the new Australia but they just sending you to another country for good.

I mean a legal physical route. At the moment refugees are only able to enter the country by illegal routes (boats) since they cannot fly without a visa, and they can only apply for refugee status when they are already in the country.
