The government is more invested in the problem than the solution

Home secretary Suella Braverman needs to appreciate that those desperate asylum seekers who embark on dangerous boat crossings would not do so if they had any other choice (PA Wire)

Reading The Independent’s recent editorial I was thrilled to hear that finally right and proper justice has been awarded to this brave and stalwart Afghan pilot, who fought with UK forces and was repaid with a callous threat of deportation to Rwanda.

At last sense, compassion and ethics have triumphed. This solution should have been glaringly obvious in the first place, regardless of his route to safety. Very distinguished military personnel already appreciated that this was a travesty of justice and they should have been listened to along with this paper and its committed stance.

The Home Office has tied itself up in intractable knots and now needs to appreciate those desperate asylum seekers who embark on dangerous boat crossings would not do so if they had any other choice. It appears more often than not, they are more invested in the problem than any proactive solutions. But this is a good day for him and The Independent, who resolutely fought his case and have been instrumental in finally achieving the right and moral outcome.
