Why would the Government want to do anything secretly?
The Government is never going to send hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers to Rwanda. It wouldn't work in practice, and would turn out to be ridiculously expensive. The main point of the plan is for it to be stopped. It's meant to be in the news, and it's meant to make the govt look tough, while they actually do fuck all to fix the situation.
Most voters lives won't ever be materially effected by refugees, so spending the money to put together a proper system isn't of much use to the Tories. The easier option is to put forward endless new "initiatives" that are never going to work, but then blame their failure on someone else. It keeps the issue in the news and they can blame the opposition for the problems.
We recently had the Tories announcing a "small boats week". It was a fucking promotional event - a week of announcements - and that tells you all you need to know about what they are doing.
The initial agreement is only for a few hundred and what will do the fascists heads in will be when they learn that for every person we deport to Rwanda the Rwandans can send one of theirs to us.
