The Cyclist

The £22 Billion black was a pile of horse manure, when it was spouted, just as it is today. The £725 Billion spending splurge is not credible, it is based on assumed growth. Good luck with that 😀😀😀😀 Micheal J Fox, went back to the future Labour are taking us back to the 70's.

Add another 2000 that have landed in the last 6 days. Smash those gangs Starmer, smash those gangs. You clueless, spineless wretch of a human being.

Not very well Who is going to buy a property of upwards of £400k, when 20% of them are for social tenants ? Although you are correct. Affordable housing ( which is a misnomer ) has replaced Council Housing. Probably twofold. The stigma and they are meant to bought up by Housing Associations and not the Council.

Have a read at this, then apply it all over the UK https://www.d-w-s.co.uk/blog/legal-loophole-lets-developers-build-less-affordable-housing

20% affordable housing, which is not Social Housing. Developers start a project and drop the affordable housing as being non viable This is US centric, but the same applies in Canada, The UK and every other Western Nation In the UK, Housing Associations are meant to buy these " Affordable Homes " and then rent them to Social tenants. The HA's do not have the money to buy them. Builders have no desire to rent homes, build and sell, move on to the next project.

Fun fact ( If you can call it that ) There are currently 1.4 million British Citizens awaiting Social Housing ( Council houses in old money ) https://www.cih.org/news/cih-response-to-speculation-on-a-british-homes-for-british-workers-policy/ By the next GE, that number will be nearer 2 million. 700 - 800 dwellings might be built by the next GE, out of a target of 1.5 million, but not many of them will be Social Housing. I wonder if any of the gaslighters won't to argue with the Chartered Institute of Housing 😀😀

Why not ? The Welfare State is close to unaffordable, it is nowhere near collapse as claimed by the SoS for work and Pensions. It certainly needs reform, as it is not fit for purpose. That makes her a bit of a teller of fibs, or lies, depending on how you view it. All politicians are liars, or to put that in PC terms, economical with the actualities.

Thatcher ? is that the same Thatcher that finished as PM in 1990. 35 years ago. I don't know about you, but the 80's and the first half of the 90's were probably the best years of my younger life. The same Thatcher that pulled the UK up by its bootstraps after the mess Labour left the 70's in ? Selling off the Nations assets ? Did you mean Brown ? Who not only sold off half the gold reserves at a fraction of the price, but saddled the Public Services with PFI debt, that won't be paid off until 2060. Thatcher made mistakes. I think most will agree that they were honest mistakes. Can anyone say the same about Major / Blair / Brown / Cameron / and all who followed ? Not 1 that I would urinate on if they were on fire.🔥

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jun/18/uk-benefits-system-could-collapse-if-payments-are-not-cut-liz-kendall-says Are you calling a Labour Cabinet Minister a liar ?

Sure https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jun/18/uk-benefits-system-could-collapse-if-payments-are-not-cut-liz-kendall-says Would you like me to post links to the gangs that have been jailed for fraud ? Not even in the UK to commit the fraud. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c844g4kpjxdo It is close to collapse, and it does not function in the manner intended. Is 2000 dinghy divers in the last week, a sign of robust borders ? Is "Smashing the Gangs " working ? Not sure what you call it. But I call 2000 uninvited guests in a week an open border. You can write " FACT " in capital letters all you want. It does not change reality.

That is exactly what it is. Clueless, spineless, gutless, too scared to upset people, poor excuses for human being And that's just Politicians.

Let's look at your points in a little more detail Whether they operate an " Open Borders Immigration Policy " is neither here nor there. The facts speak for themselves. Legal migration. See graph above. Illegal migration. 20,000 this year already, 50,000 since Labour came to power. Whatever way you want to look at, this is not a " Controlled Border Policy " We do not have a " Functioning " welfare system. To try and pretend otherwise, is deluded in the extreme. 1 million foreigners, claiming £7.5 Billion a year in benefits, tells me that there is something very wrong with both the Immigration Policy and the Welfare Policy. To put that into a bit of perspective. No idea if Thailand has the equivalent of DWP Offices. But I can just imagine the reaction I would get if I rocked up at one and said give me benefits. It would be ID and deported.

Have they really ? Rwanda might have work on the deterrent factor, if Lawfare and Labour hadn't stopped it. Labours, Smash the Gangs, is an abject failure. How can a legal immigration system be working. When 1 million foreigners are paid £7.5 Billion a year in welfare benefits ? These figures do not include Illegal Immigrants. Neither legal migration Policy or the Welfare State Policy is worth the paper that they are written on. Not much in the UK at Government level is worth the paper it is written on, hence the reason the UK is clinging on at the S bend and in danger of flushing down it completely.

50,000 Dinghy Divers in the last year say otherwise. It might not be " Official Policy " but it is an open border nonetheless.

This says different the numbers reduced significantly in 2024 due to the Tories cutting family / spouse Visas.

Starmer just cannot help himself with lie after lie Here is yesterdays offering What a sad, pathetic, excuse for a human being.

Touchy touchy I never said you stated or suggested anything. I said you agree that they are illegal when they arrive in Europe, and re illegal when they arrive in the UK. There are plenty, from the UK Government, working downwards, , who refuse to accept that they are illegals. It will take time, but eventually we will get there, to start calling a spade a spade.

You agree then They arrive illegally in Europe, and are also illegal when they they land in the UK. Took a while, but we got there in the end.

And needs to be broadcast live, like the Horizon Scandal Inquiry. What are the words I'm looking for......... Starmer is famous for them....... It will come to me Ohhhh yes. In order to ensure openness and transparency.

Starmer is neck deep in the cover up as head of the CPS and DPP https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-17853560 It took a man by the name of Nazir Afzal to tell Starmer that he was prosecuting, after the case was originally dropped by the CPS. Never landed on my desk is no excuse for the Head of the CPS and DPP. He is either a bungling idiot, who should be stripped of his tax free pension and KCB, or is complicit in the cover up and should be jailed, along side all the rest of them, that covered up, facilitated, or done nothing whilst in Public Office.

@Red Forever mashing buttons is neither big nor clever. It is a sure fire indicator that a person is weak and somewhat intellectually bereft. Have a bash at trying to articulate which part, or parts, of my post that you disagree with.

The joke is the Leader of the Labour Party Is the Dear Leader jumping on the Far Right bandwagon, or is he just a complete imbecile ?

Every Government Dept, The NHS, Police etc, should have a long term plan, reviewed and updated every year. It is the lack of long term planning that has enabled every Public Service to fall into the mess that they are currently in. I'll accept that there are other factors involved, which also fall under the no long term strategy umbrella. On the above, we can agree. 1 year in and Labour are finding out the difference between rabble rousing in opposition, and sitting in the big chair with the responsibilities that go with that. They went into the GE, claiming loudly that they had a plan ready to go from day 1. U- Turn after U-Turn, clearly shows that they not only did they not have a plan, they still don't have a plan. The current funding model and Modus Operandi ofthe NHS, dictates that it will never change, only tinkering at the edges will occur.

And lets remind ourselves of what he had to say only months ago. In keeping with Starmers warcry of openness and transparency. I think it is only fair that Musk donates all the info stored on his servers to the Inquiry. And then jail every single person, involved in covering up, facilitating, or doing nothing.

They are all breaking the law by crossing the Channel illegally and breaking the law by landing on UK shores without having leave to do so. That makes them not only Illegal but also criminals. Another 900 landed on Friday. Another approx £ 45 million spunked up a wall.
