UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman says it's her 'dream' to see asylum seekers sent to Rwanda

The UK’s new home secretary, Suella Braverman, said it's her “dream” and “obsession” to see a plane take asylum seekers to Rwanda before Christmas, during a speech at the governing Conservative Party's annual conference.

The British government planned a similar deportation flight of asylum seekers to Rwanda in June, but the move was blocked by an injunction from the European Court of Human Rights.

Braverman wants a blanket ban on anyone entering the UK through unauthorised means, and said she does not expect any planes to take off until after Christmas, because of ongoing legal challenges to deportations.

Tim Naor Hilton, chief executive of the group Refugee Action, said sending migrants to Rwanda would be “a blatant breach of the international refugee laws that the UK proudly helped create in the first place”.

If only someone else saw this dream 40 years ago, Suella would be a Rawandan citizen now

She should be first on that flight then she would understand

Wish the British govt had done this to her parents when they immigrated to UK. She wouldn't be here talking things like this.

Her daddy got kicked out of Kenya hence she's just playing revenge Politics

It's hard to understand when someone's dream can be someone else worst nightmare.

Had her parents grandparents had to face this sort of home secretary wonder how her life would be different? It seems Asian brits are our biggest racists.

India must have cheered the day this person moved to Britain, she is an embarrassment for any caring country, no wonder she got a minister job with the Tory government.

Its like listening to Hitler discussing the final solution. That was his dream too.
