Some who have entered the UK illegally will be flown to Rwanda (Dominic Lipinski/PA)
(Picture: PA Wire)We don’t yet know whether today’s flight to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, will take off with even one passenger on board. But the policy of sending asylum seekers 4,000 miles away to central Africa raises difficult questions for all of us.
What does it say about Britain as a country, about who we are and how we want the world to view us? It is no coincidence that so many people, from religious leaders to the Prince of Wales, who must travel to Kigali for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting next week, have come out against this policy.
