  1. I'll take the low hanging fruit first. Notice anything about that tweet which proves it's double speak? A democratic poll? Given that Trump is wildly unpopular outside of the US and the poll was open world wide, and given the prevalence of bots that Musk actually sued twitter over, it beggars belief that this was anything like a democratic vote. Furthermore, he announced it, ran it and closed it in the course of a day without a shred of independent auditing or oversight. How stupid can people be to swallow this garbage? I'm not just having a go here, to believe this is delusional.
  2. The bots have spoken. Musk did nothing but bitch about bots for months and has not had any opportunity to do anything about them. A result which so is far out of sync with election results or popularity of Trump, the result has to be driven by bots. They aren't there one month and gone the next.
  3. I used to read them daily 20 years ago but his extremism turned me off.
  4. All people were created equal.
  5. so cough up, what were those compulsory measures. I challenged you and you provided nothing.
  6. UK always retained it's sovereignty and foreign policy. The only compulsion from Brussels were economic measures for cooperation signed up for by the UK. The loss of this cooperation cost the UK dearly and will continue to do so until the UK replaces brexit with something close to what they had before.
  7. You're counting those whose claims were rejected.
  8. About a thousand did go to the US but they weren't forced to go. Relatively, very few went back to their own countries unless their claims for asylum were rejected.
  9. nope. A very few volunteered to do both.
  10. Every single person that was ever incarcerated on an island and didn't choose to go home is now in Australia, NZ or the US. In any case, far more people arrived on tourist visas and claimed asylum than arrived on boats. In the year after offshore processing began, the number of arrivals did not decline – it increased. Some 25,173 people arrived by boat between July 2012 and July 2013 – three times more than the number who crossed in the previous 12 months. https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-did-australian-offshore-asylum-system-reduce-boat-crossings https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/boats-are-not-the-problem-it-s-the-130-000-asylum-seekers-living-here-20220617-p5aufm.html
  11. Because, in the case of refugees, it's got nothing to do with where they're going and everything to do with where they have come from.
  12. Would it? How many of Obama or Biden's cronies were indicted and convicted or pardoned? And it isn't just Trump. GOP officials from all over have been going down like flies.
  13. I've never seen one eat cockroaches. They may well do but they eat moths mainly.
  14. A company like Twitter would have very good documentation but still it would take many months for a new engineer to get up to speed. Unless they have this familiarity with he code base it would be a case of "Patch applied to fix 19 bugs, result 93 bugs".
  15. I already did. Everyone who supported UK extradition of refugee claimants without a hearing.
  16. Stop pretending. The truth is out there. Springford compared the UK's performance since Brexit with those of countries with previously similar records. His "sobering" conclusion is that in the final quarter of 2021, GDP (gross domestic product) was 5.2% smaller, investment 13.7% lower, and goods trade 13.6% lower than what they would have been had the UK remained in the EU. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/07/05/brexit-damage-is-eu-exit-now-hitting-uks-economy-harder-than-covid The UK economy has fallen far behind the EU since Brexit Britain’s GDP per head has grown just 3.8 per cent since the referendum, while the EU’s has grown by 8.5 per cent. https://www.newstatesman.com/chart-of-the-day/2022/06/uk-economy-fallen-behind-eu-since-brexit https://www.investmentmonitor.ai/analysis/two-years-brexit-uk-eu
  17. We have them in Australia. They live for many years and often in bathrooms in the tropics. I think they would also be endemic to Thailand since the latitude where I come from is the same as Pattaya.
  18. Which western european countries are faring worse?
  19. Yes it does, it means those people don't respect refugee status. International law mandates that they get a hearing.
  20. Why not, Ukraine and Covid are common to all EU countries but Brexit only the UK so easy to factor it out.
  21. There's been more than a few people here supporting the UK government's attempts to deport refugee claimants WITHOUT a hearing in the UK and no representation in woop woop.
  22. The problem with those "unapproved sources" is that they can't get their evidence before the courts either. Lawyers who try to do so tend to get sanctioned. So, either the evidence is bad and the allegations frivolous or the judges are totally corrupt and the bar is not sanctioning them. Take your pick.
  23. This is why both those sources are unapproved here.
