The more I read into this story, I’m starting to wonder if this is just more cronyism?
If Boris thinks it's a good idea, then of course a chum stands to make a killing from it.
Think I'll trust UNHCRs honesty and integrity above that of Johnson and Patel...both proven liars.

That will be the same UNHCR that created an arrangement to send Libyan refugees to...... um...
Hold on.....
Ah yes...... Rwanda, some 2,000 miles away.
And have been doing so since 2019 or so.

I suppose they are different refugees?

It's voluntary to get in dingy to cross the channel. France is safe, as are many of the other countries passed through.
Once established in Rwanda people can then follow the legal migration route wherever they chose to go.
Nothing wrong with migration or seeking asylum from persecution and nothing wrong with following the correct and legal routes.
And it seems Denmark plan to do the same for undocumented arrivals despite only receiving 1500 or so!
Denmark: Plans to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda “unconscionable and potentially unlawful”
Proposals to send asylum seekers from Denmark to Rwanda for processing take responsibility-shifting of refugee protection by EU governments to a new low
If it disrupts the people smugglers model then it has to be a good thing, and those "poverty-stricken young men" might think twice before handing over the £5-£10k fee.

Priti Patel could face Home Office mutiny over Rwanda asylum plan
Unions say civil servants could stage mass walkouts after home secretary overruled their concerns
You can’t admin your way out of the impossible!A civil servant's job is to do the admin for the government, irrespective of their political or ethical beliefs.

And to make sure what they're doing is legal, tough job with this government.A civil servant's job is to do the admin for the government, irrespective of their political or ethical beliefs.
Turns out the current residents of the building, vulnerable survivors of the massacres in Rwanda were bussed out on a "day out" on the day Patel was shown around. Looks like they will be losing their home if all this is real.This is all looking very "dead cat on table" given that a week ago refugee minister Lord Harrington said "If it's happening in the Home Office on the same corridor that I'm in, they haven't told me about it. But we're having difficulty enough getting them from Ukraine to our country – there's no possibility of sending them to Rwanda."
Now who would have thought a PM needing to distract from things would swiftly come up with a distraction.
A distraction that is apparently going to cost an initial £120million to house refugees in a place called Hope House which has 50 rooms. So its the very thinnest on veneer to make it look like they are "tough", but isn't really going to do anything, apart from cost a lot of money.
Don’t Denmark already do that?
A) nothing to do with the point apart from whataboutary.
My mistake, but Denmark want migrants to stay in countries outside the Eu until there status has been dealt with.
I suppose the difference is that are actually going to process their status.
