Simply sticking to the topic of discussion, and not getting distracted by your attempts to wander off to hide behind an imaginary world where Labour are in Government.

There are no Unicorns, it’s an allegory for all the other false BREXIT promises and wistful thinking that lead the UK into the ever drowning mess it’s in. A nation removes itself from the largest developed free trade union on the planet, one a few short miles from its own southern border. The economy flinders. A now you want to listen to experts. Go look through the files of ‘Project Fear’.

Except I do understand the ‘Government’s predicament’ it’s one of their own making. A failure to clear asylum seekers and a failure to provide safe asylum routes - put it under the heading ‘A failure of Government’. And nothing at all to do with you ‘Anti Brit’ personal attack or indeed Labour.

You want a link to an expert for a Brexit lie?! Sweet irony lives.

‘Stop the boats’ turns into ‘Build Barges’. It would be comedy if it were not already farce.

Refer Intelligence and Security Committee Russia report, rinse, repeat and elevate Russians to the House of Lords.

The alternative is to review their asylum claims, allow those who are successful to enter society, work to keep themselves, contribute and pay taxes, while reporting those whose claims are bogus. But that would mean dealing with the issue rather than putting on performances at tax payers expense while funneling tax payer’s money to Government chums.

Apart from continual personal attacks, do you have anything to add to the discussion?

Or to put it more simply. There’s no need for evidence, an accusation is enough. So long as it’s the GOP making the accusations.

A strawman taken to the level of a rant.

So you are not yourself keeping up on the policy positions of the major UK UK political parties. You should try, it might improve your contributions.

Why is being knighted for public service inconsistent with representing all the electorate, let alone just the working class?

Please show me the warm sunlit uplands. Or a unicorn.

Hogwash. There’s a gaping gap between the two major parties. I suggest you go read up on the public opinion polls.

If you have anything to add to the discussion, feel free to post it.

I’m more concerned at the spiraling costs of the Government’s failure to clear applications and the constant scapegoating of migrants for a whole range of other Government failures, This ‘asylum barge’ is a testament to the Government’s continuing failure. ’Stop the boats’ has morphed into ‘put them in big boats’, of which hundreds would be required to house the back log. I can picture the scene in the cabinet room, Sunak screaming ‘do something, anything but do something’. So what gets done is a pointless show at cost to the tax payer and profit to chums of the Government.

Forgive me, I thought the Government were running the country, including housing policies? Am I wrong?

From the article you chose to post: Daily Mail speak at its best. There's no suggestion of wrongdoing, but some have speculated as to whether Paul may have had a steer about the upcoming Senate vote

More whataboutary.

Most asylum seekers are genuine. “75% of initial decisions made in 2022 resulted in a grant of asylum or other form of protection” https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/information/refugee-asylum-facts/the-truth-about-asylum/

So you don’t like Government being held accountable to the law. I think we got that.

I’m aware of both. I’m also aware that Britain has a housing crisis and that this was not caused by asylum seekers, regardless of how they arrived. Could money spent housing asylum seekers be spent elsewhere? Yes of course. So get on, clear the applications, pass bona fide asylum seekers into society where they can work to keep themselves, contribute and pay taxes. Deport those found to be bogus asylum seekers. Would money saved by doing this be spent on the homeless? I very much doubt it, certainly not by this Government.

Non of this is about any Labour failures you might want to throw in as a bit of whataboutary. Let’s hold the Government of the day accountable for the failures of government of the day.

Perhaps you did, perhaps you saw nothing of the sort. The absence of any links suggests the latter.

That doesn’t get you out of your baseless accusation. So you move directly to the ad hominem.
