  1. The U.S. doesn’t have a voter fraud problem either.
  2. Read and inwardly digest: The analysis shows that strict identification laws have a differentially negative impact on the turnout of racial and ethnic minorities in primaries and general elections. We also find that voter ID laws skew democracy toward those on the political right. And: https://www.cato.org/blog/noncitizens-dont-illegally-vote-detectable-numbers
  3. We don’t have to take your word for it: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/688343
  4. Nothing to do with democracy and everything to do with the Constitution. Oh and Trump isn’t on any ballot paper.
  5. Some corrections to your post. It was Trump who tried to bypass the ballot to stay in power, a tactic that included attempts to use the legal system and culminated in violent insurrection. It is Trump’s continuing lies that is undermining the democratic process. The Democrats did rather well in the mid terms and have done extremely well in various Special Elections that have come up since 2020. In truth the polar opposite of the ill informed nonsense you posted.
  6. Well it’s worth a try Donnie. But have you spoke with Justice Gorsuch? https://news.yahoo.com/colorado-court-used-supreme-court-153608370.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFySWYChrzuVMvEgas8Avp1FJyjfCpRUoCOJAKOTYaItl7y4SIRH_ThzqdPBgPmhUoCxJYX37oIKO5l4ccjwZjmLVGFA8gynp3S1-V_BMtBNfv0ulZU2fNw5ljLCKr4ru0h7vVzS2UwecxgnbGVufj_QSw_rkLRXTcXCi9kRgZuK
  7. Oh the US Proxy war against Russia that Putin started. How obliging of him.
  8. Trump supporter objects to Biden providing aid to a nation illegally invaded by Russia under Putin’s orders. A pattern is emerging.
  9. It’s that Republican Accusation/Confession thing again. And curiously so very lavatorial. I wonder why that is?
  10. I’d go easy on the ‘toilet’, ‘turd’ and ‘septic tank’ references if I were you. This isn’t a thread on the widely discussed subject of the stink oozing out of Trump.
  11. The headline ‘Trump is going to win’ and variations there on gets more traffic for the news outlets, hence that’s what they are pumping. Meanwhile Biden is delivering for America. Added to which he’s not facing multiple criminal trials, and doesn’t stink of leaking diapers.
  12. Yep once again blaming immigrants. How about minimum wage? Corporate greed? Union busting? Worker’s compensation cut to drive up profits? Trickle down being a lie?
  13. At this point the requirement seems to be to find a ‘running mate’ who an tolerate the widely reported stench.
  14. So the people coming to America and working at the bottom of the economy, working in agriculture keeping food prices down, doing yard work and construction work keeping prices down are driving up prices , house prices, mortgage rates? Nothing to do with corporate greedflation? Nothing to do with trickledown economics having turned millionaires into billionaires and the working class into the working poor? Nah, blame the immigrants.
  15. You seem to have missed King Charles’ point. The people who engage in charitable works form an ‘essential backbone of society’. That would include Rantzen and many more. I agree with his statement.
  16. Extremist Braverman disagrees: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12709947/Suella-Braverman-wants-ban-tents-Britains-cities.html
  17. I get the impression it’s you doing the barking.
  18. Let’s go back to this ‘estimate’ when the peak travel period traffic jams show up again.
  19. It’s not likely to be ten minutes for travelers in vehicles who will each have to get out of the vehicle they are in, get scanned and then return to their vehicle. The impact on travel through ports will only add to the delays at peak travel times.
  20. The EU border controls applied to third nation travelers comes into effect in October 2024. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/19/eu-fingerprint-checks-uk-travellers-british-passengers-entry-exit-system-facial-scans
  21. The explanation is political desperation. The Government and the PM in particular have married themselves to an immigration policy that is doomed to fail and that splits the governing party. The only way to get Rwanda to agree to this farce is to throw money at Rwanda. The UK has nothing else to bargain with. But here’s an observation on the ‘white man’s guilt’ thing; far from being guilt of any kind, this farce is a clear example of neo-colonialism, dumping the UK’s problems on an African nation. The rightwing idiots who back this nonsense fail to consider a very simple question: If immigration is problem in the UK, how long before Rwandans object to the UK dumping its immigrants on them? There is another argument: that the policy is meant to fail and is in fact a Trojan Horse designed to create at conflict with and argument against Hunan Rights Laws and the UK’s membership of the ECHR. This is precisely what is playing out in Parliament right now, with a vote to be called today. The center right of the Parliamentary Conservative Party are arguing the Government must act within Human Rights Laws and International Laws (as directed by the Supreme Court), the extreme right wing are arguing for circumventing Hunan Rights Laws and International Laws/Treaties and circumventing judicial oversight. The only logical conclusion is that this is precisely the situation the policy is meant to give rise to. Ending Human Rights Laws and membership of the ECHR has been a decades long target of the extreme rightwing in the UK. Rwanda in the meantime has stated that if the UK breach international law and treaties then the deal is off. The vote today is worth watching, if Sunak fails to pass the bill he will have delivered a Government in stalemate. If the bill passes it will get pulled up in the House of Lords and the courts have yet to have their say. A right Tory mess of their own making.
