I can think of a number of laws to get all outraged and affronted over, this isn’t one of them. Not by a very long way is this a law I have any problem with.

I confess, I gave a sigh of relief when my kids ignored being pointed at the Ivy League and chose instead to opt for Russel Group and LERU. Ivy League might give a young person a great head start, but it far too often comes at a ridiculously exorbitant cost to their parents.

The specific US Federal law: https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/extraterritorial-sexual-exploitation-children

“Small businesses and manufacturers are warning that federal environmental regulations targeting certain chemicals will have a widespread negative impact on the economy.” More precisely, removing a chemical with serious health risks might have a negative impact on profits.

You did read the OP?

An actual serious danger to children is under ‘House Arrest’. Not a lot of joined up thinking going on.

He didn’t just buy’ the original, he paid way over the price to buy Twitter and he used a large wad of money belonging to a Saudi Arabian Prince to do so. Now his/their investment has a competitor on the horizon. Free market loving right-wingers are struggling with how to respond while keeping all their credibility intact.

Come James, lighten up, competition is a good thing. Unless of course it’s competition against the Billionaire ‘Space Karen’ who you thought was going to champion the fight against those you disagree with.

Just what Space Karen Musk doesn’t need.

Sneak him out to the Walter Reid Memorial Hospital in the middle of the night, administer the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test and never admit why. It’s the done thing.

The Biden’s are demonstrably not the bottom of the barrel.

Did I even mention Trump? No I did not.

Biden’s relationships within his own family are a personal matter for him and his family. It’s a low bar to set but just so long as he doesn’t start wielding the power of the Presidency to forcibly remove other people’s children from their parents and throw other people’s kids in cages.

Fast morphing into rightwing hypocrisy.

It might ‘seem’ to be lots of things, including rightwing faux outrage. Like when did the rightwing care about kids ‘eating government cheese’ beyond the cost to the government of the cheese?!

Given the Government have not yet challenged the earlier High Court ruling that individuals the Government wishes to deport must each have their individual cases assessed, it seems the Government are not able to grasp the issue they say they are dealing with. Perhaps a constant source of rightwing outrage is more valuable to them than an actually taking steps to resolve the problem within the law.

You do realize it’s the UK Government’s doomed to failure keynote policy that was challenged in court, refer OP, and it’s the UK Government’s failure on immigration that is the cause of increasingly out of control costs, refer Braverman’s statement linked in this thread. And that’s putting aside your own frequent statements that you are currently back living in the UK. Sorry you didn’t get your biscuit.

It’s not simply a matter of the scheme being illegal (keep your hopes up for the High Court). There still remains the matter of the Government already losing its case against 10 asylum seekers who had not been given individual assessments: ”In the meantime, though, all flights remain on hold. Indeed, the Home Office has not yet reconsidered the cases of the ten individual asylum-seekers who brought the original challenge. In the High Court, they established that the Home Office had not considered their individual circumstances fairly. They cannot be removed unless their cases are looked at again.” Since individual assessments are required it might be a better idea to quit the expensive, doomed and illegal Rwanda scheme and simply establish a functional asylum application process. Conducting those assessments at or near the point of departure, or even in France, would identify bonafide asylum seekers before they get to the UK and provide sound legal footing for the removal of any bogus asylum seekers. It would of course lack the cruelty of deporting asylum seekers without assessing their claims, and that might not go down well with those wedded to cruelty towards others less fortunate than themselves. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-judges-ruled-against-the-rwanda-plan/#:~:text=Summing up%2C the Lord Chief,to Rwanda will be unlawful.'

I suggest you take that up with the Government. Over £140,000,000 spent on a doomed to fail and illegal ‘Rwanda’ scheme, with by Braverman’s own admission £Billions more at risk because the Government have lost control of the situation. A crisis of the 14 year in office Tory Government, at tax payer’s expense.

Meanwhile, the Government of this day is failing to assess asylum claims and spending over £140,000,000 on a doomed to fail Rwanda scheme that has been ruled illegal. It seems they missed the lesson you are using as a whataboutary defense of their ineptitude.

Perhaps you should start a thread on stuff that was happening almost two decades ago.

Labour, and other political parties, have stated they will deal with the problem by providing accessible asylum application processing at or near the points of origin and do so without the need to break UK law, international law and international treaties. I’m not sure why you are wandering off on some nonsense about the NHS, it’s obviously not at all related to the topic under discussion.

Oh you mean after 14 years they need my help? And if I choose not to participate it’s my fault?! It’s the Government’s job, not mine, it’s the Government that are failing to do the job they were elected to do. I suggest you start blaming the failing Government, and not those who are pointing out the Government has failed. My solution is replace the Government at the next General Election.

‘The Community’, what all the community? Or is that one of those gross pejorative generalizations that some folk have a habit of resorting to?

The GOP Clown Car is running off the rails.
