'Middle England it would seem is against this policy of sending asylum seekers and refugees to Rwanda.' DavidLammy
Home Secretary Priti Patel has said that the plan to send migrants to Rwanda will act as a "blueprint" for other countries in the world to follow.The Archbishop of Canterbury called the plan "the opposite of the nature of God".
In response to the Archbishop of Canterbury criticising the plan, Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg told Radio 4’s The World This Weekend programme: "I've read carefully what his grace has had to say, because he is somebody I greatly admire and I think he is a true witness for Christ in an increasingly secular world."I think he misunderstands what the policy is trying to achieve, and that it isn’t an abandonment of responsibility, it is in fact a taking on of a very difficult responsibility.
"I think it's self-evident that the Archbishop of Canterbury understands what the policy is trying to acheive."So Middle England it would seem is against this policy of sending asylum seekers and refugees to Rwanda, which might be an indication that British public opinion is changing."
