Seek to use uninhabited British Island to process asylum seekers

Closed 75 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the Government to seek to establish a migrant processing centre built on an uninhabited island off the British coast, and for all the migrants crossing the channel to be sent there, whilst they have their asylum claims assessed.
The attempts to send them to Rwanda have been continuously thwarted by constant legal challenges. Which there will no doubt be more of. At an ever increasing cost.
