I’m appalled at the government throwing out the Lords amendments to its Rwanda bill, which would have protected Afghans – who risked everything to fight alongside the UK against extremists – from being deported to Kigali. This suggests both a disregard for those who have helped this country, and a pecking order based on ethnicity.
I suspect that if those in a similar position to the Afghans happened to be European, the result of the Commons vote would have been altogether different.
