Priti Patel’s Rwanda plan ‘immoral, shameless and obscene’, says Glasgow cathedral provost
The UK government’s plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda has been branded “immoral, shameless and obscene” by the Provost of St Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow during his Easter Sunday sermon.
The Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth yesterday told parishioners how he sees the idea of sending those seeking refuge in this country on a one-way ticket to Rwanda as a “bitter betrayal”.
His comments echo those made by other religious leaders, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, who have also used their Easter sermons to express their disapproval of the plans.
