Once again, no time frame, so meaningless statement and the previous correspondant claimed to have lived in a "city" in the North West of England, while ranting on about kids being kidnapped (ignoring that the most notorious case that happened when he was a kid), heroin (while saying taking pills was totally fine, and elsewhere, supporting cocaine usage), moaning about having his religion being changed (and he's probably like 90% of Britons, not really religious anyhow). He also ignored we tried to change their religion as well (missionaries etc). This discourse started because Sam Bum decided, on a thread about the UK and Thailand exploring a possible partnership, to bring in a well known anti-immigrant (anti-Muslim) trope about a supposed Swiss mayor refusing a mosque to be built. He brought up the Muslim faith for some reason only known to himself. And then he brings up Race. Completely random and off topic to the matter in hand. Thread hijackers have to suck it up, when I see it for what it is, and he doesn't like it with home truths.

You inferred the link between colour tv and race. Yes I did note your unintelligent quip; I get it. You refer to Afro-caribbean people as "coloured". You claim to have lived in a British city and never to have seen a yellow, black or brown face in the sixties. Not true. You admit to taken illicit narcotics, but drew the line at heroin. Better times now than those hateful years. I was born in the 60s. My mum and dad were army. They couldn't afford to buy a TV until 1974, and even then, it was a B&W portable in Hong Kong. They managed to rent a colour TV by 1979. So if you had a colour TV, which you probably made up, in the 1960s, you were well off. And you probably saw "coloured" people in your North Western English City. The reason you struggle to get an appointment is too many old people, and the government, on and off, blocking imported doctors. Your time is over. By the time the next UK government works out this deal, you will likely be the proverbial 6 feet under.

Retreading an old path, his weakness was to have a referendum in the first place, to placate some idiots in his party, who then proceeded to undermine him throughout the campaign with frankly lies, inspired by an individual who had previously spent most of his working life in Russia. I understand why Cameron resigned; Brexit wasn't something he believed in, because it was idiotic, and has probably doomed the UK as a unitary state. Useful idiots indeed.

Not all of them. One could have gone to 6th Form college (Labour Party reform in the mid-70s); 2 years NI credited. Then 3 years undergrad, on a full grant (zero NI, unless you got a summer job), then postgrad (zero NI, no summers off), paid by the state. Then a job in the US, followed by middle east. Come back elderly, sick and impoverished because you've blown the lot on a wild life. Straight away get full NHS cover. You won't have much of a state pension, because you never paid in, but you will be entitled to pensioner's credit. NHS cover is nothing to do with how much you pay in, otherwise you are denying treatment for the chronically sick.

Parrot whoosh. Sarcasm doesn't travel. But certainly, you are nearer the end than the beginning. My dad pegged it 2 years ago, aged 82. You forgot Smallpox outbreaks in Bradford, London bombsites, 50s rationing, Union Movement, Mods v Rockers fights every bank holiday monday, Myrah Hindley and Ian Brady, 10 Rimington Place, Billy Graham, Cuban missile crisis, the Great Smog, the Great Flood of 53, Suez, Korea, Mau Mau. Drugs? The mods were into poppers; drug culture started with your post-war generation, and then you all went on strike in the 70s and became communists or joined the NF. Extra dark rose tinted spectacles I suspect, due to too much sun. The world you described in the 1950/60s is a fiction. HMT Empire Windrush landed its famous load of passengers in 1948, mostly to help out in the nascent NHS, drive the buses that had no drivers, build the council houses where there were no builders. All to help people enjoy their rock and roll, colour tellies (you must have been from a very wealth background to enjoy that, no wonder you lived in a 100% white environment), having consequence-free sex (with Caribbean and Indian nurses no doubt helping to clean you up from that dose of the clap). The only people trying to convert me are the god bothering Holy Joes from the Jehovahs Witnesses and Mormon Church banging on my door. I enjoy the ensuing banter as I eviscerate their beliefs and their book, in a polite manner. I'd do the same with others, but they keep to themselves it seems.

When was that grandad, 1920? Good old days, right. https://eachother.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Mahesh-Upadhyaya1.jpg https://rightsinfo.org/app/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-28-at-16.13.59-1024x636.png[ https://eachother.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-28-at-16.10.38.png

I know of a large number of Britons who went to the US on J-visas, which is a non-immigration visa aimed at academics, which you are not supposed to change to an immigration visa in the US. But they did, they got job offers in industry, and the employer fixed it with some made up job description. So comment on that, on the British people illegally entering the US, and taking US jobs. That's basically how Elon Musk ended up in the US. He entered as a student, under false pretences, with the objective of getting a job in Silicon Valley. What he did was no better than a Thai lady getting married to stay. And they've probably done less harm than he has. None of them called a British man a "paedo" and got away with it.

Unless the Muslims were Swiss born and bred. In the modern era, the first mosque wasn't built in Switzerland until 1963 (this was a nation happy to do business with the nazis....). That's enough time for 3 generations of Swiss to be born who were muslim. You still think they should go "home" or not practice their faith? No, he wouldn't get away with it now, because we are better than that now. I grew up in an era when I would go down to the Connie club with mum and dad, and grandad would introduce a chap sitting next to him as "Sambo". I'd hate to go back to that era now.

Keeping to the nation in question, rather than conflating issues (ie. maybe some people ought not be deported due to incompetance within the Home Office), generally the evidence is Thai wives/partners when given deportation orders, self deport, at no cost to HMG. A Malaysian-Chinese friend, who is a consultant surgeon in the NHS, married to an English nurse, kids, own house etc, was going through the process of getting ILR, which as you no doubt know, involves a period of purdah when one mustn't leave the UK, except under exceptional circumstances. He has no intention of gaining UK citizenship, as Malaysia doesn't allow dual nationality. He knows that means he will have less rights, and is content with that. He was invited to be Best Man at a wedding in KL. He thought he would write to his case worker, seeking permission, thinking they would either say, yes, thats fine, no problem, or no, you cannot go. Instead he got a thrd answer; a deportation order, with 10 days to settle his affairs. I wish he had a "whacky left(y)" come to his aid. But no, he had to pay a very capitalist lawyer over £5000 to appeal his case. He got to stay, £5000 poorer, and the Sinophobic civil servant responsible for the incompetance, kept his job. He missed the wedding, but at least kept his family together. Numerous stories like this, indicative of the Home Office targetting low hanging fruit to meet their quotas imposed by the right wing nutters (as an alternative to whacky lefties). https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/news/caversham-woman-faces-deportation-despite-husband-having-cash-to-meet-home-office-rules/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/wife-deportation-removal-home-office-thailand-mark-ngam-ngon-leonardi-a9027421.html (Tulip Siddiqi and Diane Abbott would probably meet your definition of Whacky Lefties. The husband was lucky he had them. Even so, where was the Public Interest in keeping his blameless wife in prison while the HO dragged its feet) One from the Gammons' favourite read https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2945844/Widowed-Thai-mother-deported-forced-leave-children-British-husband-killed-car-crash.html (cruel and heartless comes to mind, but also the Home Office knew, ultimately, that she would put up less of a fight) Look at Home Office deportation stats: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/immigration-system-statistics-data-tables#returns For Q1-Q4 2023, a total of 25,646 people were earmarked for deportation, all nationalities. 19,253 voluntarily returned home. 6,393 (25%) were enforced. A further 24,587 got no further than border control, and returned home. If I split it by nationality; Albanians are the biggest group. 5771 were deported after immigration, and of that, 2,501 (43%) were enforced return; ie they were detained. For that time, that's not unexpected. By the way, the former Albanian soldier who did my fence and patio, worked like a trooper, turned up on time every day, refused payment until I approved, insisted on bank transfer only to his business account. Meanwhile, English builder who put up my conservatory (3 years on, still numerous issues), spent his time moaning about the Irish who did my driveway, and the "Pakis", and the "Blacks", filled my garden with empty Red Bull cans, turned up at random times, wanted cash up front, and then moaned when I pointed out his VAT number had expired. Bald prick, wish I never trusted Trustpilot. For Thais, 120 were deported, of which 110 self deported, so only 8% were actually detained. A further 15 didn't get past passport control. Of those deported, not surprisingly, 100 were women. 9 detained were women. Look at Vietnamese; remember the lorry load found dead in the back of an Irish biscuit lorry (the driver is now doing hard time). Vietnamese face broadly the same visa issues as Thais. The stats state 34% were detained; detention rates are a strong proxy about how people are found, usually overworking. Self deportation generally indicates more of an administrative issue, eg. UK partner dies. LOL, 559 Freedom loving Yanks try it on each year, 328 undesirables don't get past passport control at Heathrow. Of the rest, 23% end up in chokey/detention centre. Thank god for regulations, because the UK will be over run with MAGA supporters and Jan 6ers looking for work. Aussies and Kiwis are a law abiding lot. 55 don't make it in after that 24 hour flight. 65 are deported later, of which 12% are found working in a bar or coffee shop. No one from Laos and Combodia wants to come to the UK. Only 1 was stopped at the border, 3 voluntarily went home. Malaysia has visa free arrangements with the UK. 186 Malaysians a year are refused or deported from the UK. 96 are turned around at passport control. 90 are deported afterwards, of which 18% have an enforced deportation (ie in the detention centre). For China (PRC), the numbers are quite big, but compliance rates are high. 262 get turned away at the airport. 1741 are deported after, but 3% have an enforced deportation. For Taiwan, the numbers are very small, but 50% are detained. At least for the UK, I think the evidence that Thai people are more likely to overstay, work illegally, than other nationalities is actually quite weak. By and large, those deported are compliant wives and girlfriends. Its about 50-50 m/f who are actually detained, so that doesn't suggest any particular bias towards parts of the black economy. I really don't see why Thai citizens should face more challenges than Malaysian citizens or Hong Kong passport holders. If its about "foreigners", then the requirements for Commonwealth nations should be increased.

It would be great to see that, to see collective gammon heads explode. Unlikely. And I'm a party member, but outvoted by the blue rinse brigade, so it will never happen, unless he was unopposed, and there are too many cabinet incompetants circling to let that happen. He's actually doing a good job as foreign secretary, a lot more active the previous ones, during a very tricky time. James Cleverley, armed with a 3rd rate degree in hospitality, was out of his depth; the scruffy ex-officer act only goes so far. Now he in charge of the police LOL. Liz Truss incredible bad judgement at every level, gotten worse leaving office. Referred to as a Poundland Thatcher, that's an insult to Poundland. Dominic Raab; famously on a beach while British troops were effectively engaged in a fighting retreat out of Kabul. Hunt had a few gaffes when in office, such as supporting the Saudis after they bombed a school. Boris Johnson did a lot of condemming, but then got pissed at a party hosted by an ex-KGB officer, while carrying the NATO battle plans. I'd have to go back to William Hague for a FS that I had confidence in in handling the UK's external affairs. internationally. I think he knows he's just preparing the ground for the next foreign secretary, set his successor's agenda (UK foreign policy, the calamitous Brexit policy aside, has more continuity than other government policies, eg NATO, US-UK relations, UK-France relations. Generally, there is a high degree of cross-party agreement in foreign relations, and that has to be, because complex international agreements are rarely concluded within the life of a parliament).

What I'm looking at, via the LTR route. But my company also has a subsidiary, which I have nothing to do with, in Bangkok. But there is this Permanent Establishment thing. Companies that qualify for the the "Work from Thailand" LTR route tend to be global companies. There is the risk of Permanent Establishment if anything in your job is "habitually" to do with generating sales in Thailand. That might be signing a contract, because you happen to be in Thailand. Not knowing anything about your employer, can you guarantee that they will never seek business in Thailand?

4. No more are scheduled for my age group. And actually, you can. A coronavirus can only mutate so much before it ceases to be a coronavirus. What is your background in viruses to become an expert on vaccine development?

Because in January 2020, that was the only diagnostic tool available in the cabinet for an EID with unknown etiology. By April 2020, IgG LFDs were coming out; these worked on the premise of detecting the Immune response, but proved to be unreliable. By September 2020, reliable Antigen LFDs were available, and these were good enough for the purposes of home testing and then triaging. PCR is an excellent confirmatory test. Not so good as a presumptive test. Its still fairly expensive. Prior to January 2020, most Path Labs did not carry out PCR; this kind of confirmatory testing was really only carried out by Reference Laboratories, and there aren't many of them. Prior to January 2020, PCR was a tricky technique to carry out. You needed a clean seperate lab suite away from the other benches, and typically only one trained member of staff who could perform it. You find the same with FISH testing for breast cancer; most labs cannot do that, because of the expensive equipment needed, the training needed and the relative low volume of testing. 10 years ago, I covered Ebola testing in West Africa. The level of diagnostics available then was shocking. The available PCR tests were Mil Spec only, with secretive protocols. Only the US military put their tests through approval, because it turned out there were a few US passport holders in Liberia. Byt December that year, the WHO was estimating 10,000 new cases a week. For that, you needed to conduct about 30,000 tests a week. Adding up the capacity of the US military in Liberia, German and French capacity in Guinea (plus a bit of Russian miitary), British, South African and Chinese militaries in Sierra Leone, the entire region only had capacity for 8000 tests a week. Ebola infection, until you enter organ failure and hemolysis (blood pouring from the orifices) looks like flu. The US military, operating from an abandoned biotech institute, could manage 100 tests a day, mainly because all the reagents needed refrigeration. The lack of a road network meant diesel had to be airlifted in, and they only had enough diesel for a small number of freezers. One of the positives that came out of that pandemic was the development of freeze dried PCR reagents. One of the legacies of the COVID pandemic is a global network of molecular testing labs; liquid handling to do testing at serious scale, all countries now having trained personnel, developments in the technique allowing capabilities to be used through the virology/bacteriology sections. Its also allowed the expansion of cancer diagnostics. Its allowed PCR to be looked at for POC testing (moving PCR out of the lab and into the GP's office). Further, its kickstarted the next generation of diagnostics, such as paper-based CRISPR testing, making a highly accurate genetic test be as easy as performing the LFD the whole world was doing at home. Thats a game changer in the developing world, where infectious disease is still the biggest killer. Prior to COVID, there were panel tests for respiratory tests in development, largely because of MERS. MERS appeared in 2012; 8 years on, they were still struggling, mainly because of financing, getting commercial tests out. Spanish flu lead to the development and understanding of PPE. The 40 year Polio Pandemic gave us Intensive Care Medicine, Clinical Trials and the FDA (polio vaccine was launched without clinical trials, one manufacturer made a mistake in making formaldehyde, and sent out 200,000 live doses of polio virus. That mistake was the reason the FDA was created, to make sure manufacturers knew how to translate and scale up lab scale experiments. WW2 flu vaccine development in Australia (they were afraid of another 1918) lead to the creation of modern laboratory science. By the 1957 Flu Pandemic, for the first time, scientists were able to work out what strain was causing it. By 1968, as a result of that, vaccines for HK flu were being rolled out as the first victims were identified in Hong Kong. One other thing; COVID-19 has caused the cost of PCR to fall rapidly. So yes, you will see PCR being used a lot more to identify panels of respiratory disease. But you don't understand what confirmatory testing and presumptive testing is, so you will never understand why PCR is part of a process that starts with syndromic surveillance, antigen detection then infectious agent identification. You also won't understand the purposes behind any testing. Testing or diagnosis, is only carried out if it means a material benefit to the patient, based on symptoms. So, doctor, I have a sore back. Doctor; I believe you, take some painkillers, get rest. Doctor, I have had a sore back for 2 weeks, and am running a fever. Doctor; my god, I need to get you in for emergency spinal decompression. With luc, we can preserve bowel function (symptons indicate spinal cord infarction, because of build up of pus against the spinal cord, cutting off blood supply. Paraplegia can occur within 48 hours. Administration of morphine hastens the damage, as it suppresses the immune response Doctor; I have a cold. I demand antiobiotics. Doctor; go home, you have a viral infection. Doctor; I have a cold. I demand antiobiotics. Doctor; I can now perform a PCT blood test in my office, indicating if you have a bacterial infection or not. Its negative, ergo you have a viral infection. Now get out, and don't cough on anyone Doctor; I am fit and healthy, and have a positive COVID LFD. Doctor: go home. Doctor; I have a history of heart disease, brought on by childhood poverty, and have a positive COVID LFD. Doctor: Because of your history, and some other biomarker tests I can perform, I am going to admit you as an emergency patient to hospital. There they will perform confirmatory PCR in A&E. But wen also know, for unknown reasons, 30% of admitted cases test negative on that initial admission. So they will also perform a CT scan, to look for the distinctive "broken glass" like features that we know now are diagnostic for COVID-19. We also know that because of the spike protein, found in the causative virus, SARS-Cov_2, it interferes with the Angiotensin system, which we already know plays a role in regulating blood pressure, but we also suspect it has other roles, such as in male development. PCR is £200 a pop. Its not performed for all cases, as its not needed to be performed for all cases. Its carried out if it means a material change to how the patient is treated. In lab testing, the rule of thumb is for a particular test, 60% of results should be negative. If its more than that, then you start to query whether the test is detecting all cases. If its less, then you start to wonder if the test is needed, as clearly everyone referred has already been successfully diagnosed. Lastly, a case to ponder diagnostic testing. Around about 2014, a British soldier, on leave, took his family to Florida for a typical holiday. He had been in the army a fair while, was in good physical shape. He had completed multiple tours, mostly Iraq, and had been part of the invasion. Like others, prior to that, he was fully immunized against the secret list. On the flight home, he became ill. When he landed in London, he was whisked off to St Barts in a bad way. He was crashing. In A&E, raised WBCs indicated a systemic infection. The attending physician ordered broad range antibiotics, IV, and they supported him. During the first 24 hours, he responded, and was recovering. During this time, bloods were taken for testing for the causative agent. All the usual panel tests, which are a mix of molecular, biochemical and good old fashioned plates, came back negative. Samples were sent away to Public Health's lab, first at Colindale, then Porton Down (a different establishment from the MOD place). Extensive testing was carried out. There was no sign of live agent. Porton Down did carry out toxin testing, and found the tell tale signature of Bacillus anthracis. The soldier by now was well on his way to recovery, so this finding made no material difference to his treatment. In Florida, he had contracted inhalational anthrax infection. Usually, anthrax causes a skin infection, and is minor. Its often found in farmyards. Inhalational is another matter, which is why its favoured for military purposes. Diagnostic testing isn't carried out for everyone. It might not be needed. It might serve no purpose if an illness is developing more quickly than the lab can respon. And that lack of a lab diagnosis doesn't mean the doctors sit around helpless doing nothing. In China, in those early days, that what the doctors did; nothing, besides hooking a patient up to a ventilator, and hoping for the best. In Europe, different medical training meant the doctors continued to treat patients even though they weren't sure what was the cause. They addressed the symptoms, applied logic. This lead to a much higher standard of care. People who have an infantile understanding of how vaccines work or are measured remain idiots, and should learn to accept that some people are just cleverer than them.

The currently fielded vaccines reduce the disease impact. This is common for most vaccines; it can take 10 iterations over many years before a vaccine is "sterilising" (ie stopping onward transmission). Most vaccines don't do this. Take the measles vaccine; it stops the measles disease (rash, illness, death), but the virus is still circulating in children, only they are no longer presenting with the disease. The ongoing issue is disease definition. COVID-19 is a complex and still poorly understood disease. At the moment, definition of a COVID-19 case includes PCR, but we don't use PCR to determine whether a child has the Measles or not. Typically a physician will recognise the rash type, and that is enough. If he started including a PCR test, people might conclude the vaccine is ineffective (because they basically don't understand vaccines). As indicated, many people may have been infected with the Sars-Cov-2 virus but have not developed COVID. In the same way, not everyone who is HIV-positive has AIDS.

And in future, only skilled workers will be allowed to marry overseas. Unskilled workers and pensioners will be told no.

And yet you complain of grooming gangs. Go request a Treponema pallidum test. Its affecting your judgement. Probably the places you frequent are using the Northern Irish tang network, eg. Maurice Robinson. He was convicted of the deaths of multiple Vietnamese nationals found in the back of his truck. His defence was he thought he was hauling biscuits, which turned out to be a lie. He was part of a organised crime network that included Protestant Loyalists like him, members of the Irish Republican movement, gangs in Belgium, Bulgaria (where a lot of the trucks are registered) and South East Asia (Thailand-Vietnam0Cambodia). Mostly women, its likely they were to be sold into a sex trade that exists largely to satisfy you and other similar people's depravities. People like you are actually part of the organised crime behind this immoral human trafficing trade. Its basically your fault. When you conducted your business, you were basically paying the snakehead gangs. These gangs are also part of the narcotics industry, and these brothels that you frequent are also part of a money laundering operation. The Irish terrorist angle is interesting, because they also take their cut, and you help fund the murder of British soldiers and police officers.

No, financially not an issue at all for me, but I am acutely aware of the concept of fairness, and this policy is nt very fair. As has been signaled by the government, only the relatively well off are allowed now to develop romantic liaisons with non-Britons. Everyone else must keep to their own kind. Many MPs have non-British wives. If the proposed rules had been in place, its doubtful the current Home Secretary's mother would have been able to enter the country based on his fathers income as a surveyor . You posted a vague statement about not posting fiction. I am happy to tell you I have never posted a fictional story to back an argument, so its a good job you reminded yourself not to do the same. All Doctors are real Doctors (and a small number of medical doctors don't go on to gain their doctorate, but still assume the title). The study time is about the same. Surgeons lose the title of Doctor in some geographies. The average salary of the Doctors who came up with the Astra-Zeneca COVID-19 vaccine was about £37k, as they were in Oxford. If in London, they would be on £39k, due to London weighting. The national average salary for a junior doctor is about £35k (huge variation though). Later on of course fully qualified medical doctors will see significant increases in salary. For other Doctors, it depends. I'm a specialist in infectious disease. I can't go into further detail.

Western sex gangs are a huge problem in SEA. Gary Glitter.

Let whom in? Refugees? The answer would be yes and a qualified yes. Because its a sad world we live in that there are refugees at all. Or do you mean criminal gangs? The answer would be No and Yes Or do you mean Thai wives? Yes and yes. Or do you mean unaccompanied children? Yes and Yes. You need to be more precise when asking strawman questions that you are shrieking for a response to. A headline from 1900. Note the language in reference to people fleeing pogroms. You complain about changes in culture. These people mostly setting in places like Limehouse, Stamford Hill. The local culture changed as a result. One aspect is that East Enders now enjoy a Wally with their Fish and Chips. In truth, the British have had a mongrel culture since the day Julius Caesar rocked up. And I am proud of that. It has made Britain distinctly different from Continental neighbours. The ability of the English language to absorb non-English words into our everyday parlance has meant it has become the lingua franca globally. We, thankfully, do not have an equivalent to the Académie Française. German agglutination has becoming a running joke (the German habit of adding new words by combining existing words into increasingly long words, some of which exceed 80 letters). 100% of British people have so-calling immigrant blood. Everyone. And here is the same paper, 38 years later, further complaining about refugees Obviously, that problem was dealt with not by sinking the boats, but by addressing the problem at source. Arguably, we should have dealt with the problem much earlier, but by not doing so, it cost us more.

The thrust of the legislation is not to reduce "illegal immigrants" (aren't we innocent until proven guilty?), but reduces legal immigration. The Home Office has produced modeling to demonstrate this. The number of small boats or whatever, will not be significantly affected. The government's own estimate is that a few hundred refugee claimants will be transported to Rwanda yearly (note, not "illegals"; these are people who have claimed refugee status, 79% of claimants are given refugee status). Their cases will be decided in Rwanda, according to Rwandan law, which is based on a German-Belgian code. The Home Office, at some expense to the public purse, will be establishing teams of British barristers in Rwanda, to provide some kind of advice. Unfortunately, they will be a waste, as they can only advise according the British Law. Once they have been granted refugee status, they remain in Rwanda. Those washing up in boats who choose not to claim refugee status will be deported according to the normal processes. Rwanda has a veto on any claimant removed from the UK to Rwanda; the UK has to issue a transfer request. And there is more https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/memorandum-of-understanding-mou-between-the-uk-and-rwanda/memorandum-of-understanding-between-the-government-of-the-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-and-northern-ireland-and-the-government-of-the-republic-of-r#part-1--transfer-arrangments So the deal includes the UK accepting refugees from Rwanda, the ones Rwanda cannot look after, without any ceiling. The UNHCR states currently Rwanda houses 127,000, mostly from the DRC, Burindi and a smaller number from Libya. 76% are women and kids, which I suspect is where you find the most vulnerable. There is already a contradiction. We are assured that refugees will be well treated in Rwanda. So how can they get better protection in the UK? Now I don't expect the UK government will accept the next 3000 berth cruise liner chartered by the government of Rwanda crammed with the most vulnerable refugees. I expect if that happened, then that is the end of the Treaty. Now when a Home Secretary stands up in the House and assures the members that the agreement is rock solid legally, I think it helps that the Home Secretary, the former Youth Ambassador for London, has an education in Hospitality Management from the Ealing College of Higher Education, otherwise he is utterly dependant on assurances given to him by Home Office lawyers. Hopefully the Buck stops with him.

Then follow your own advice when telling people to stop posting information that you don't like. Populate your Ignore list, so you won't get upset.

Strawman.

Its an unusually uncertain time. The governing party has a large majority, which ought to mean they can control the agenda. There is the House of Lords which can shoot down legislation, but if that happens, the the Parliament Act is invoked, where the Lord's vote it nullified because of the supremacy of Parliament. What usually happens though is the Lords will moderate/waterdown contentious legislation, and often this leads to sensible improvements that a government will accept. But this is a government with a large majority, who cannot count on the support of its own MPs. Events of the last few years show the Whips can't do anything. The threat to take away the whip is an empty thresat for someone who's decided they've had enough and won't be standing agai. Now the Conservatives are split between the One Nation tories (the largest caucus, around 100 MPs) who generally aren't happy with the 5 point plan, and risk of breaking international law (international law largely created by the UK), government loyalists, and a grouping headed by the New Conservatives, who think the legislation doesn't go far enough. In yesrs gone by, the Conservative Leader would be chosen through a secret ballot process among the MPs. There would be backroom deals, secret agreements. Not very democratic. But it got a leader that most of the MPs would agree they could work with, and "get things done". David Cameron decided to add the party membership (people like me) into the voting process. MPs would produce a shortlist of two, then the membership votes. Its the wrong way around. The membership can vote on some sort of shortlist, then the MPs vote. I can imagine circumstances where this becomes a vote of confidence, and the tories voting themselves out, preferring to take a chance at the ballot box, perhaps palling up with the Reform Party. Electoral rules mean that its more likely Labour will win, with a sweeping majority. The Conservative Party has become ideological, where the ideology overcotion policies merely to smes common sense. So two home secretaries and a Prime Minister, all of whom second generation Britons, pushing for quite contentious immigration policies, all to seemingly satisfy a section of the electorate who, ironically, doesn't want their sort in positions of power anyhow. The whole Brexit debate became like that; originally, it was based on logic (the cost of membership), then it became points of principle, with ministers supporting the act saying it will be great in 50 years time.
