There’s absolutely NO evidence to suggest this will deter people from trying to seek refuge in the UK but plenty of medical evidence to show how dangerous a policy like this is.
When the Australian gov tried it we saw the worst mental health crisis in our 50+ years of work.
In all likelihood we are looking at the UK government spending around £100k to deport each asylum seeker to Rwanda on the plane tonight, possibly more.
UK govt argues that’s a necessary price to establish the deterrent.
