  1. I don't know and you don't know. However the security services are concerned about something to do with him, which is why they advised Johnson against granting him a peerage, which Johnson ignored.
  2. What do you need help with?
  3. Called out again and now it's tantrum time. The emojis will be flying....
  4. Still too stuck in that 80's time warp of yours to realise the KGB no longer exists....
  5. And the security services were unhappy because...?
  6. And the security services were unhappy because....?
  7. He just grants peerages to sons of former KGB agents against the advice of the security services.
  8. Thing is, Johnson is so devoid of shame and morals that it was water off a duck's back.
  9. Thanks. Now let's see how this is spun on here...
  10. Dunno why I had it in my head that Americans sought treatment in Canada, but thanks for setting me straight. So an American on a month's fishing trip in Canada better have insurance or he is screwed if disaster strikes?
  11. Don't lots of Americans go to Canada for treatment, Canada being socialised and more affordable?
  12. Yet more workers having the urine extracted trom them, complaining. Why? So the shareholders can rake in a pretty Euro from their endeavours and screw you if you don't like it. Not to mention the remuneration of the CEO and his buddies. Good luck to the workers. #### their bosses....
  13. Come on, Ray. That's far too big of an ask....
  14. Yes, if they ever buy anything.
  15. So US Customs and Immigration are not seperate entities like the UK or Thailand?
  16. When I enter the UK and get a rude immigration officer, their rudeness is met with rudeness. Don't you Americans do the same?
  17. Don't you think the whole story is looking more and more like a simple hatchet job on the United States because somebody didn't meet the entry criteria?
  18. Ah. That would make sense. However the story is worded to imply that a random Australian woman en route from Australia to Canada was pulled out of the queue by US border police, detained, interrogated then slung out on a whim. Clearly this was not the case. Then I wonder what other inaccuracies the article contains...
  19. I remember transiting Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport en route to Bangkok. There was some kind of cursory 'immigration' check there too. However they weren't actually interested in you, just your passport and boarding card.
  20. But again: Why would the US be remotely interested in somebody with no intention to set foot on their soil (unless that person was bin Laden or some African dictator on the run)...?
  21. The story doesn't make sense. If she was in transit through the US to Canada as is implied, why would she be detained and deported from the US when she had no intention of entering?
  22. Correct. So why did they have that TV debate when the public are to have a PM imposed on them without any say in the matter?
  23. What do we really own anymore? Note to British 'patriots': If you don't have state institutions, you don't have a state. Wave your little flags all you want, but ultimately you are somebody else's bitch...
  24. Isn't it true that there are now more food banks than branches of McDonald's?
  25. A counterfactual argument not worth engaging in.
