Why not Rwanda?

The British Government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is in disarray because of the Supreme Court's ruling on 15 November that Rwanda might return them to their own unsafe country. But some countries, we're told, (Iran, China?) won't take back their illegals. So, why not send their illegals to Rwanda? If their own countries won't take 'em back the Supreme Court's objection falls away.

18 November. International Men's Day. No mistake. Not much publicity either

Hurray! Today is International Men's Day! This was revealed by BBC Radio 4 "Today" in an item on prostate cancer (which I have). Some years ago I complained on Twitter that while there is an International Women's Day there is no International Men's Day. Only to be informed that there is, and that it is on 19 November. I never heard of any mention of it, but naturally I've long thought it to be on 19 November. Until now. 1975 was International Women's Year. But there has never been an International Men's Year. Of that I'm sure.
