The UK government has granted asylum to 15 more Rwandans, despite previous claims that Rwanda was a safe country for deportation. This decision follows a controversial deal that could see British taxpayers paying up to £600 million to relocate 300 people to the East African nation. The National Audit Office has revealed that the cost of this scheme could reach a staggering £500 million, with the UK to pay at least £370 million for the asylum deal. Furthermore, costs could soar to £1/2 billion plus additional hundreds of thousands for each migrant deported.
