    The Guardian thinks of itself as a liberal outlet; yet by publishing this story, it is doing exactly what the government wants them to do. The value of the fear of being deported to like, Sierra Leone, is worth more to the gov’t than the actual deportations themselves. They are publicizing just that.

    And of course the only thing London cooperates with Brussels on is reporting unwanted blacks and browns to faraway countries.

      They just hate migrants; they’d do anything to get rid of them. Enemy of my enemy is my friend type of logic.

    That’s a good move. It will stem the rising popularity of far-right parties. Europeans do not want their countries to be flooded with migrants.

      Giving the far-right this as a way to appease them, just validates their world view. Its not as if it is going to end with drastically reducing immigrants.

        No, their rising popularity validates their view. By adopting their view but not to their extreme undermines their appeal. How can sending rejected asylum seekers to third-country hubs not reduce the number of migrants?

      Far right parties love to say that even when there are no migrants flooding them.

      Continues with a sentence straight out of the far-right fascism playbook

        To the contrary, it will undermine the appeal of far-right parties. At the same time the centrist version will be milder.
