I suppose the SNP wouldn’t let them build detention centres on our own offshore islands.
As usual, John Crace says it all.

Driving home this evening there was an interview on Radio 4 with a former justice minister (name escapes me) and in his view this would be illegal under various international laws. People seeking asylum are not illegal immigrants and are protected. The worst part is that even if the claim is accepted the claimant would not be returned to the UK but subject to the rules etc in Rwanda for ever.

Can't someone get rid of this idiot and his vampire friend Priti Patel? Her grandparents were immigrants once.

I love instructions which appear to have been translated by Google.

On the Welsh osprey websites there is both the translation by the posting group and the Google translation. The latter are hilarious!
 
That's brilliant! [emoji1787]

Also quite horrifying. Because they can't go back, once they break through and find they're not, actually, free! [emoji53]

I just love the comment " it is only blocking access to a small number of homes" do they not think these people have lives to lead and may have to attend appointments, work etc.
A local nature reserve constantly gets people drive into its entrance and try to get up the track, where there is a locked gate, come back to the centre and demand the gate is unlocked as the satnav has told them that is the way to the hospital. Some refuse to believe the satnav is wrong. Even when we show them a photo, which proves that if we did let them up the track, through the woods, they would then meet a row of houses, all with high fences, then a steep railway embankment with rail lines at the bottom.
 
I wonder if they've managed to liberate the people in the houses yet? That's what I find annoying - you read something but can rarely find out the outcome.

There is a village called Hampton Loade, near Bridgnorth which use to have HUGE signs which say something like "SatNav error. Foot ferry only" It's a single track road leading to the River Severn and there is a road the other side but there is no bridge. On the Hampton Loade side there is a large car park which, if not full, the 42 tonne artics could turn around in. You have to look carefully on a Road Atlas to see there is not bridge but with Google Maps you can zoom in and see there isn't one. All that's there now is No Through Road Sign which probably means the SatNav error has been corrected.

On a kayaking weekend a few years ago a small group of us had booked into a pub b&b next to the Thames. I think it was called the Ferry Inn or something similar. A friend's sat-nav brought him to the other side of the ferry but the ferry stopped running decades ago. It was a long drive round; he was lucky to get there with his car by last orders!
