Adil Ray is receiving praise from GMB viewers after quizzing Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab on the question of providing legal routes into the UK for those fleeing Syria and Afghanistan, like with Ukraine. ‘Some will say the policy is racist.'
It’s since been said the plans, which were yesterday labelled as ‘callous’ and ‘unlawful’ by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, may now be delayed by up to a year.
‘Thousands are still in Afghanistan, the BBC reported that 100 of them have suffered torture, they worked in a UK embassy. It seems very different for Ukrainians to Afghans and Syrians.‘Some will say the policy is racist, Mr Raab,’ the host remarked. Mr Raab went on to insist: ‘The issue with Rwanda is totally different. It is about whether we have lawful routes, whether we open up our hearts and show that great tradition, that generosity of spirit in this country, but also clamp down on the illegal routes which are a major threat to human rights. They encourage trade in human misery.’
‘They’re totally different sets of circumstances,’ Mr Raab responded, as he continued to be probed by Adil.
