Putting to one side @BBCNews's grotesque focus on the channel crossings, a few days ago hundreds of tweets from hard-right 'patriot' accounts made the absurd & misleading claim that the Govt's immoral #Rwanda plan had been 'successful in deterring channel crossings'.

Typically, despite clear evidence showing that it was weather conditions which paused the channel crossings, the right-wing press - including The Sun, Mail, & Express - amplified the absurd & easily disprovable lie that the Government's #Rwanda plan had worked as a deterrent.
Unhinged GB "News" presenter Patrick Christys joined in with the lie: “Goodness gracious me. It’s only gone & bloody worked... This can’t only be down to wind direction or offshore conditions... This is down to the threat of being deported!" which was amplified by Murdoch's Sun.
"The one thing that has worked excellently is the #Rwanda policy: this came out, I said this would put people off coming, & sure enough, for nine days now nobody has come!" - delusional Concrete Grower "Iron" Mike Graham, on Rupert Murdoch's cancerous Fox "News" wannabe, #talkTV.
