As Failed Asylum Seekers In Britain Prepare To Be Shipped Off To Rwanda, Their Confrères Further West...

....Arrive In Newport Beach, Dock, Disembark and Enjoy the City.

After the U.S. was run out of Afghanistan there was a cursory attempt to save some who had helped the Americans during the 20 years of that war. (twenty effin' years!). Upon hearing of the British Rwanda plan all I could think of was this imagined scene from 2021:

"Uganda receives 51 out of expected 2,000 Afghan refugees"

 Oh dear. You can just imagine the conversation: 

"What's this? Kampala? There must be some mistake, I signed up for the Berlin package: Ku'damm, techno, Tiergarten, last of the hipsters. Not Uganda." 

From Kenya's The Standard....

And via reporter Bill Melugin:

Leaving on a positive note for those who will be going to Rwanda, the country is forecast to be the third-fastest-growing emerging market over the next five years at 7.2% per annum.
