Right now, there are legal challenges to the government’s Rwanda policy sitting in court. The first plane takes off tomorrow.

These deportations could later be ruled illegal, but by then it will be too late.

Don’t get me wrong, the organisations working hard to mount legal challenges etc are doing a good thing and deserve support.

But ultimately, the legal system is slow and protects the powerful, not the weak.

Sending vulnerable people seeking asylum to a country thousands of miles away, which they have no ties with, and which the UK has granted people asylum from very recently- that’s tantamount to murder.

If we wait for the legal system to work, people’s lives will be ruined, people may die.

Rule of law exists to protect the weak from the powerful, saying that those that govern must follow their own laws. It doesn’t exist to protect the government from the people.
