The Rwanda Plan
<p>In this current events episode we discuss the Rwanda Plan, a five-year trial in the UK with the aim to regulate the influx of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers by sending them to Rwanda. We delve into what the Rwanda Plan is, the ironies of the UK's refugee statements, the reception to the plan, and what we can do. This is an ongoing situation, so information may have changed upon release. Apologies to Lord David Pannick QC, I was unaware you were a Lord and thus referred to you as simply David Pannick.
