It’s not simply Ginni Thomas’s role in the attempted coup. Her husband was the only SCOTUS judge to vote against the release of Mark Meddows’ text messages, 29 of which were from Justice Thomas’ wife. This stinks of corrupt intent, Justice Thomas needs to be removed from the SCOTUS. https://amp.theguardian.com/law/2022/mar/25/ginni-thomas-texts-clarence-ethics-supreme-court-conflict-of-interest

Did you ever doubt that Tory policy is to push wealth and capital up the ‘food chain’? There are £Trillions in plain view lining the streets of the UK currently in the possession of ordinary working people, don’t expect that to be allowed to continue. Home ownership is already out of reach for millions and that number is growing. The logical trajectory is for homes to wind up in the possession financial institutions and businesses.

I’m not sure where you are getting your numbers from. There are 1.45Million people of Indian ethnicity in the UK and almost 1.2 million people of Pakistani ethnicity: The ‘best estimate’ for the number of EU citizens in the UK is 3.5 million. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Indians https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Pakistanis https://blog.ons.gov.uk/2021/07/02/are-there-really-6m-eu-citizens-living-in-the-uk/amp/

You might want to try and quickly delete the link you provided before someone fixes it in a quote…. Oops, too late. Here’s the verdict provided in the link you so kindly posted: “WHAT WAS CLAIMED Under the Geneva Convention refugees should seek refuge in the first safe country they come to. OUR VERDICT Incorrect. The UN Refugee Convention does not make this requirement of refugees, and UK case law supports this interpretation. Refugees can legitimately make a claim for asylum in the UK after passing through other “safe” countries.” The other two claims addressed in your link also make interesting reading. Thank you so much for sharing,

Perhaps because the racists and bigots in the UK make the most noise. It’s of course wrong to judge a nation by the behaviour and language of a few, but if that ‘hate filled few’ make the most noise, it’s their behaviour and language that give the biggest impression. As I said earlier most Brits do not dislike foreigners, far from it. However, it is not hard to see why an outsider looking in might think otherwise.

Pound falls to lowest level since pandemic crash
Chomper Higgot replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
I’ve provided a link that demonstrates the statement I made, you know, the one you replied to. Here’s my post again: And here (again) is the link that demonstrates my statement is correct: https://www.statista.com/statistics/287278/uk-trade-union-wage-premium/ Now a question to you if I may: Are you in favour of working people receiving pay levels that enable them to live without welfare subsidies or, as increasing numbers of UK working families now do, relying on food banks? -

Pound falls to lowest level since pandemic crash

Unionized workers earn considerably more than those who are not in a union and I’m all in favour of working people receiving pay levels that enable them to live without welfare subsidies or, as increasing numbers of UK working families now do, relying on food banks. I agree, it’s time for BJ ti be replaced, along with the whole of his government. -

Plus millions of people in work earning low wages and unable to pay for anything beyond absolute essentials, with no excess to drive ‘consumer economy gains’. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9209/ Plus rising personal debts. https://www.moneyexpert.com/news/uk-personal-debt-levels-continue-rise/
