The jet-ski escapee is Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong. He had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion.

    If this had happened in my country (UK) he’d be in a concentration camp by now.

    Nice to know some countries are still civilised

            We’re talking about the existence of of the camp here, not how it will be expected to run.

            Are you questioning the existence of the camp on the fact this is a torygraph article.

            Bibby Stockholm has been in the news recently, i would consider that a concentration camp too. Temporary structure in which asylum seekers are to be concentrated

        do you live in a cave or something? The UK is full of rapists and imprisoning people for doing wrong-thinking à la 1984

        They haven’t actually managed to send anyone yet have they? Courts keep blocking them

          You are correct. Braverman and Sunak are appealing the decision by the Court of Appeal because they’re inhuman but so far no one has been sent to Rwanda just yet.

            They’ve also said they want to take away our human rights laws and leave the ECHR. Once they take away all those pesky human rights we’ll be all set. I, for one, am sick of all these fucking humans acting as if the human societies that humans built should serve humans and protect humans and encourage humans to prosper. Humans rights? Makes me sick. Can’t wait to get rid of them and show these humans who really matters, the people really in charge: [character limit reached]
