    Brexit matters

    And, as pointed out numerous times before, those immigrants made a bad situation worse. We already didn't have enough houses, schools, hospitals, etc. for the natural population increase and demographic changes. They weren't solely responsible for the pressure of which you speak.

    And thanks for doing so. It's always good to get the view directly from the people who are most impacted.

    As stated by the United Nations: Source: https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/basic-principles-and-guidelines-right-remedy-and-reparation 1713896959 I wonder how big of a processing centre we could have built in France for £500M...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Pretty much, yes. They've admitted to spending about £550M so far, and the scheme is only committed to accept 300 refugees in this phase, so that's £1.85M each if we send all 300 (which is unlikely!)

    Well I'm incensed by the fact that this scheme is going to cost some £2M per person sent to Rwanda!

    Is tradition holding the UK back?

    It's not even the middle of England! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_points_of_the_United_Kingdom

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    That's not entirely true. If a gross breach of international human rights law occurs then states have an obligation to investigate and prosecute if there's sufficient evidence. So in the event that someone brought a case on the basis that being sent to Rwanda violated their rights, then...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Offshore processing is, in itself, questionable on both moral and financial grounds but is perfectly compatible with pretty much all international law. Where the UK scheme falls short is that (a) we're not processing claims made to us but are passing those people to a third-country; and (b)...

    One thing to keep in mind though is that they may be counting dual-citizens and children of immigrants differently.

    Brexit matters

    Again, nobody is denying that immigration increased demand - that goes without saying. But supply isn't even sufficient to meet domestic demand through native population growth and demographic changes, immigration only made a bad situation slightly worse.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Fortunately Congress has no say in where the DoD decides to store their equipment, only in if they can give it to another country.

    Going to call you on this one. Government policy and greedy landlords/developers played a much bigger role than EU membership. In a functional market, supply increases to match demand which keeps prices broadly the same. The reason that house pricing rose wasn't the increase in demand, it was...

    Apparently some supplies are already staged in Poland.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Though, I understand that there are mothballed examples in the Russian equivalent of Davis-Monthan and they have an ongoing program to modernise the current fleet. They already restored one to flight, so it's possible there are still some others that could be made flyable.
