It will be interesting to see how the EU react. @richmac re Rwanda, good point about conscripts especially as part of their human rights violations is use/ recruitment of child soldiers (specifically related to this conflict according to the US). |

Re Columbia, the proof of whether Columbia got what they wanted will be what happens with future deportations. Columbia weren't arguing against the deportations, they just said they wanted their citizens not to be treated like criminals. Trump's administration is unlikely to admit publicly they've backed down as they seem to think words speak louder than actions in the PR battle, but their future actions will show whether they have.

The Guardian article has a few more details about the issues. Deportees were on a military plane and shackled. I'd hope they won't be shackled at the very least now. Rubio says that Columbia's president had agreed to the return previously but reneged on it later. theguardian.com |

Labour have achieved something very important. They've made Isabel Oakeshott leave the country. Hopefully they can make her worse half leave soon too. |

Well she apparently moved there because the schools are cheaper. And because men are men and women are women apparently.

Dubai is so lucky to have her. And Skegness will miss Richard Tice enormously, who is now "Splitting" his time between there, Dubai and London. If you can call a 49.4/49.4/0.2% a splitting with Skegness. Mind you, it's very similar I expect to the 98.8/0.2% split that he was managing before. The voters of Skegness are getting exactly what they deserve from voting him in. Serves them right. |

I'm clearly not going to do the maths/research but if anyone actually believes that you can get cheaper school fees by going to the expense of leaving the country then you probably have an iq smaller than your shoe size. Also, what awful parenting, "hey kids in going to trash your lives to save cash" Also, Reform, where she will be linked to through her 'relationship' position themselves as patriotic, great way to demonstrate that, running off the millisecond things don't suit you. |

Speaking of math's, my 98.8/0.2% split isn't brilliant.
