I'll ask ChatGPT...

I can accept that. As long as they don't go down the Covid road and start closing the schools completely!

Good point! Winston Churchill was a notorious boozer! That said, Hegseth is no Churchill!

Shocking. A DUI hire 🤣

That doesn't look like Bangkok!

Irrelevant. So, Starmer returned to London after laying flowers the first time, then went back on other occasions. What "a weasel of a man"! Cue outrage by the Tories (or just one Tory) and Reform. It's a nonsense muck-raking gutter-press article, devoid of facts.

Did you read the article I linked to? “We have had the privilege of several figures offering their condolences directly in the aftermath of the events and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their compassion and sincerity....and to the Prime Minister for visiting with us in an un-publicised visit to hear who Elsie was, offer his condolences and reassure us directly in the days following what took place.” The MPs quoted in the Mail article and James' post, suggested Starmer didn't do this. To quote James: "He didn't even spend one minute offering his condolences to the families or residents of Southport despite the fact he would have been informed of just how horrific the attacks were on the little kids. He is a pathetic weasel of a "man". Untrue.

OK, I've read the link again and none of the "facts" stated by @James105 whose post I was responding to, are actually made in the Mail article he linked to! The Mail just quote the opinion of a "senior Tory MP". I'll choose to believe the families of the victims, rather than Sir Alec Shelbrooke and Richard Tice! Can we just agree to disagree? Some believe all they read in the Mail/Sun and some believe what they read in The Guardian and on the BBC.

As I said, they're not "facts". Perhaps you're not British and think that the Daily Mail is a regular newspaper. I can assure you it isn't!

Much like Rightists don't believe the "legacy" media like the Guardian, BBC etc, I do not believe that "the Mail understands..." and "our sources" are facts. The Sun and News of the world (RIP) as well. The gutter/tabloid press in the UK are well-known for this (see The Sun after Hillsborough).

I don't believe the Mail. It has a well-known anti-Labour agenda.

You believe the Daily "Fail"? I don't. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/southport-keir-starmer-princess-prince-prime-minister-b1206821.html

Hmmmm. I wonder why Trump isn't releasing the Epstein files as well! 🤔

Hence the Public Inquiry. As you know, I think it's shameful that the likes of Tommy and Farage (and the rest of Reform) are doing their level best to ratchet up the hate and make political capital out of the tragedy, with no regard for the victims' families. But we can agree to disagree on that!

We're relying on Tommy Robinson for information? Good grief!

Both happened in hospitals?

They will all kill you, so neither thanks.

They do! Far more than western countries. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/displacement-in-the-muslim-world/

Not seen many posts arguing for immediate deportation. Strange, as there are hundreds advocating this for other muslim refugees/asylum seekers. 🙄

Maybe they could be handed out for free by Immigration at the airport?

No need for either - currently, just take deep breaths outside and you'll inhale the equivalent.

You don't have to thank me. Thank the UNHCR.

Wear a N95 mask.

I wouldn't go so far as "fantastic" but I think he's doing a good job sorting out the mess from the years of Tory mismanagement. His immigration policies are not any different from the Tories, although I truly hope he doesn't follow through with raising the minimum income requirement for Settlement visas. Genuine refugees will continue to be admitted, and if this was done properly it might stop the numbers of illegals coming across the Channel.
