US diplomatic relations pished away leaving only threats.

They are not helping them.

 

They are making it legal so they don't have to spend money policing/fixing the issue. Easier to simply pass a law and then pretend the problem is solved. 

 

And the sycophants are claiming it's a compassionate move because the homeless simply want to live on the streets in peace. 😆

 

Meanwhile we spend millions every day ensuring immigrants do not suffer the same fate.

Oh yeah, Labour are doing a great job on the immigration problem. 😃

 

A few token arrests doesn't fool me and it isn't fooling the electorate. 

 

95% up on the Tories final full year in power. Which was only a couple of years ago. Great job Keir, great job. You're certainly smashing the gangs. Labour aren't fooling anyone, as the local elections showed.

You hide your disgust that Labour are helping the homeless behind your customary immigrant fixation.

Labour has pledged an additional £233 million for homelessness services this financial year, with total investment for 2025–26 approaching £1 billion. Rayner's department stated the funding will help keep more families out of temporary accommodation and “tackle rough sleeping head-on.”

Right there in the OP, the Government not just decriminalizing homelessness but increasing funding to deal with it.

Great news for Scotland, the UK and the University of Edinburgh.

And this is just the start.

 

A few posters might recall that I advised them months ago, that the real carnage would not manifest itself until the growth killing Budget had worked its way through the system, especially the Employer triple whammy of raised NI contributions, Lowered NI thresholds and rise in the minimum wage, which took effect in April.

 

April payroll count dropped by 109,000

 

April Growth dropped by 0.3%.

 

And this is just the beginning.

 

£2.2 Trillion splurged on the Spending Review, to be paid for by growth

Counter factual nonsense.

Yes, that's exactly why we need to spend British taxes supporting these vulnerable British people, instead of paying for hotels for illegal immigrants who threw their passport in the channel as they crossed on a dinghy. 

And yet Labour are deporting more illegal immigrants than the Tories.

Arresting more immigrants illegally working than the Tories.

And vastly increasing spending on social housing and affordable housing.

Grubby buy to let landlords are, perhaps understandably, not happy but just wait until the renters rights bill passes into law.

Brace for income whinging, low and to the right.

   Some homeless people do prefer living on the streets 

That is true, and now they will not be criminalized for that choice.

Britain slips further towards third world status under Labour.

 

Rayner is well aware of the chronic housing shortage in Britain which will only get worse with Labour's misguided policies. So far easier to simply legalize homelessness rather than ensure there are enough homes for people.

 

I'm sure she'll make sure there are enough homes for all the immigrants though. 

 

 

A post that ignores Labour’s massive increase in funding for social and affordable housing while failing to understand decriminalizing homelessness is a positive change regardless of any other matters.

This is great Chomps. You're really making progress in coming out with your true beliefs. Tell us more. 

No not at all.

Support their choice not to avoid a painful death.

Freedom to choose to suffer, only in this case they don’t get to become a vector for the disease they choose not to take steps to avoid.

Muslim countries would never accept Palestinians in their territory, not as settlers nor refugees.  They have made that very clear for decades.

You need to update your grasp of Palestinian refugees in other neighboring nations.

Just like every other nation state.

A huge improvement since the election, no slogans, not performative cruelty, no hundreds of £millions being wasted on failed schemes, just quietly getting the job done:

Israel is a sovereign state in which its citizens have the absolute right to exist in peace.

Another form of ethnic cleansing is not a solution to the one being proposed by the U.S. Ambassador to Israel.

What?   Is that your only argument?

 

I am curious.  Did you celebrate the October 7 th attack on Israel?

So you’ve arrived here already.

In response to my observation that the term ‘Free Palestine’ says no more than it does (no need to engage in the ludicrous adding of phrases that aren’t included).

You now move on the questioning whether I celebrated a heinous terrorist attack.

This does nothing other than demonstrate the weakness of your argument.

My views on the heinous terrorist attack of October 7 are adequately expressed in multiple topics in which it is the subject of discussion.

Utter shameless nonsense.

Back in MN Walz failed to call in the NG, he more or less said that they couldn't do anything. I think by bringing in the troops in LA that it will at least slow down the violence of the protesters. Really sad to see so many DEM politicians saying that it is a peaceful protest. Just like four years ago when they burned down 100's of businesses in Minneapolis.

Did it occur to you that you are not being presented with the less newsworthy peaceful protests?

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/why-free-palestine-from-the-river-to-the-sea-means-genocide-against-jews/

 

The phrase “Free Palestine from the river to the sea” or “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” may seem innocuous to those unfamiliar with the geography of the region, but in reality, it represents calls for genocide against Jews.

Those of us who follow these issues closely have recoiled whenever we hear the phrase chanted at rallies around the world, or, as was the case last night, projected in massive letters on the library of my alma mater, George Washington University. We may take it for granted that everybody else understands why these words are so alarming. But it strikes me that, to the unacquainted, saying, “Free Palestine from the river to the sea” may seem like an innocent call for people to be free. How could that be objectionable?

Did you read the OP?

The bill attempts to define the term “Free Palestine” as antisemitic.

No mention whatsoever of ‘River to the Sea’.

Please instead the OP.

The resolution, which spans three pages, doesn’t simply condemn the violence. It goes further, labeling the slogan “Free Palestine” as antisemitic and equating it with calls for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.
