A plane for (up to) 7 migrants had been chartered for £500,000.
That works out at £71,429 per migrant just for travel.
Last year 28,526 migrants came to our shores.
So it would cost over £2Billion just to transport last years intake, before £40billion hotel fees.
Which idiot chartered a 300 seat aircraft for (up to) 7 passengers?
Would anyone other than an out of touch Government buy a plane ticket for over £70,000 each ?
no yes
false logic - altho I dont llike pointing it out to people I like ( not many then !)
You are using 'marginal rates' - and applying it to the whole
( and you cant, its invalid).
It is like getting ten bob for 3 minutes work, and saying Oh yeah well per week that is - - - £470/-/-
which is true but doesnt mean much
I have maintained all along that the Rwanda policy is a gimmick, a publicity stunt to win votes.
Firstly there is not much money to send many. Based on the Australian costs, I estimate about 50.
Secondly, this flight was schedules a fortnight before two by elections. So rushed that the legalities had not been sorted out. And 7 passengers is a gesture not an attempt to tackle the real problem.
Sadly some people enjoy this entertainment, no matter what the cost to the taxpayer.
