The posters were published yesterday by the Home Office. They warn asylum seekers, among other things:
Lucy Powell appeared on LBC and defended the posters:
“I think it’s it’s pretty straightforward that we should be explaining to people and being clear about the the expectations, the rule of law in this country.
People coming from other countries do have different different cultures, and we have to be absolutely clear with people of how much we abide by the rule of law in this country, what the rule of law is about, and that if people break those laws, they will be treated very harshly.
They will be deported. They would have any claim to asylum completely squashed at that at that point as well.
So it’s I think it’s right that people understand the expectations and the consequences if they break the law in this country, and that’s something that we have to constantly educate lots of people about, and and that’s important that we do so.”
No wonder Labour is having Rwanda guilt…
Lord Khan in the Telegraph: “I hope, and I say this in a non-pompous way, that the public service I do will bring rewards in this world and the hereafter,” he says. “I’m hoping the work I do is earning me Brownie points.”
