  1. thank these lovely people, and a host of others who have not been to trial yet https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c844g4kpjxdo
  2. It doesn't really matter what Party they belong to. The are elected by the UK Electorate, and their Primary concern is the UK. If they are so concerned about Gaza, Palestine, or any other place, they can resign, get off the gravy train and go and put their money where their mouth is, and go and help out in any of those places. Easy to bump your gums, sitting on a gravy train.
  3. This covers offenses where people have been identified and charged. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/13/most-violent-or-sexual-offences-went-unsolved-in-uk-hotspots-last-year But if the overall figures above, are representative of London, only about 11% are actually apprehended.
  4. It could be argued, that the Labour Party in general, and Starmer in Particular, are totally ignoring the UK electorate. Politicians in the UK are elected to represent the people of the UK, not Gaza, Palestine or anywhere else in the wider world. Still, it's a good excuse to deflect attention away from the the utter shambles that the UK is turning into.
  5. A simple and straightforward point. That so many find too difficult to grasp.
  6. Republic of Ireland. Some might not want to read this https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/28/us-eu-trade-deal-germany-france-tump-tariff If it is not a good deal for the EU, then it must be a win for the US.
  7. Mr Odoh, who is apparently a Council Worker, had a TV go through his car over a month ago. You would need to do a back search. It is being reported in the OP, as part of a litany of crimes and damages, caused by the residents of the Barbican hotel, of which 90 criminal charges have been slapped on 40 of the salt of the earth residents.
  8. All fake news. Salt of the earth, genuine refugees, every last 1 of them. People should stop complaining, and accept the cultural enrichment being foisted upon them.
  9. I used to think that was tinfoil hat territory. Now I can only conclude that it is the only explanation, for the mentalism being shown by UK politicians.
  10. Ohhhhh Nooooo https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/palestine-state-uk-starmer-trump-france-ppgksw8zz
  11. You really want facts and reasoning ? Then tell us all on the thread, what race are the Illegal Immigrants ? The tired old trope of howling racists, shut down by a 5 word question.
  12. Need more skooling Rachel ? You cannot tax your way to growth Growth down Inflation up Unemployment Up This is the cycle that that the UK is entering But you keep banging that drum of tax wealth / the Rich. I think you emulate Starmer, he couldn't define a woman. I doubt you could define tax wealth or tax the rich.
  13. Jonathon Reynolds, a Labour Cabinet Minister https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jul/24/epping-asylum-hotel-protesters-upset-legitimate-reasons-minister-says Not Right Wing lunatics, then ? Start getting a grip, before the poo poo really hits the fan. And you wonder why people are getting tetchy and violent.
  14. Hi Rachel from Customer complaints. Let me spell it out for you, I'll try to use small words and keep it simple. 1. Despite the things that you list above. The Top 10% of earners still pay 50% of the annual income tax take. 2. When you chase these people away, due to punitive tax measures, they leave, just like they are doing now, in record numbers. When they move elsewhere. 50% of zero, is zero 3. This means you will have to increase borrowing, By around £160 Billion a year. 4. Add on the corresponding loss from National Insurance, Another £100 Billion a year For the financially illiterate, that is an extra £260 Billion in annual borrowing. Just as I advised you on another thread. https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/farms-close-inheritance-tax-raid-jhsln07qw Unemployment UP Welfare UP Government borrowing UP Government debt Servicing costs UP Labour, taking the UK back to 1976. A budget for Growth Growth Growth, taking the UK Down Down Down The difference laid bare between working in Customer Services, 6 Form Politics, rabble rousing for 14 years, and actual reality.
  15. Vietnam or Laos, and make your way back into thailand via the long road, would seem the logical option.
  16. Of course they did Of course you don't . Police in the UK are world beaters, in honesty, integrity, and all round good guys. Which is why many hundreds of them are kicked out on annual basis.
  17. The videos do not lie. Plenty of them all over the place, including news channels, should you care to look.
  18. Thai Embassy have instructed all Thai Nationals to get out of Cambodia. I can see this spiraling.
  19. Starmer is in the big seat, but I'm not sure how he is meant to fix it. It was a Ponzi scheme from its date of inception. Just think how bad it would be, if the Tory / Lib Dem coalition had not introduced the Triple Lock in 2010.
  20. Thais on the move and taking shelter UK's Guardian running a live blog https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jul/24/thailand-cambodia-border-clashes-live-soldiers-fire-at-each-other-along-disputed-border#img-3
  21. Live feed here https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cj4er1gq90jt#player There are already calls for the Chief Constable to resign. The video evidence is damning, so it will be interesting to hear what they have to say at the Press Conference.
  22. There are 5 main reasons. 1. The Government do not build housing. 2. The deliberate conflation of affordable housing and social housing. 3. Most Companies want to build, sell and move on to the next project. 4. Most Companies do not to build to rent, too much hassle for them. 5. Social Housing ( Council houses in old money ) need to be built with at least a 15 + year ROI, most companies are not interested. A final point. The cost of land, building costs due to regulations, price of infrastructure, makes the low rental Council houses of yesteryear, firmly in the past.
  23. And the only reason they are doing so, is because mobile phone footage showing it has been posted all over social media. Very embarrassing, after denying it.
  24. Where in the UK is Burbank ? Is it a suburb of any of these ? Highly unlikely. Not only are you in the wrong thread, you are on the wrong Continent.
