In London, the elected Mayor – Sadiq Khan, is the equivalent of the Police and Crime Commissioner and is responsible for the totality of policing in the capital, refusing to accept the existence of grooming gangs AKA rape gangs.

You were knocking somebody for "yet another Labour rhetoric devotee" but instead of 15 years of less than net migration of 100,00 per year we got 15 years of net migration of more than 700,000 per year. How quick the tories are to down play their complete and utter disastrous control of immigration.

Is the Uncle Murderer a reference to ex Khmer Rouge terrorist.

And do you think that growing at the rate of the size of a London every decade that it wont happen in the future. Not necessarily race riots but the millions and millions without jobs and housing. So if on average net legal migration is 750,000 a year by the end of the century population will have grown from migration alone to 122 million from 66 million. Governments are incapable of managing a the population now.

And who was it that was so anti Immigration that they made it a manifesto commitment to get net migration to under 100,000. They banged on endlessly how they were going to get below 100,000 a year but they never got it below three quarters of a million. who was it, it wasn't the tories was it? The latest scandal is not deporting non UK prisoners when they are released which they are supposed to do.

Right the absolute standard response when ever this comes up. If you try to discuss it you are automatically a right wing bigot.

So In the last ten years there have been about 8 million migrants enter the country, net migration so a real increase, so about the size of whole of London. And the UK doesn't provide enough housing for the indigenous population. Now add that will be water shortages as there are reservoirs being constructed. Probably not enough schools, hospitals, increase in the pension age to 68 coming. Will there be enough jobs. Yes the number of migrants coming across the channel pales into insignificance against the total net migration in any year. But then I guess the expat British will be paying UK tax on pensions so your contribution to housing them in hotels is welcome. The constant reference to everything being far right doesn't solve the problem either.

And no taste.

"The UK signed a £480m deal two years ago to pay for additional border patrols and surveillance equipment such as drones and night-vision binoculars. But government sources pointed out that Keir Starmer agreed a deal with Macron at the start of the year to increase measures to halt Channel crossings." Seems to me that the French are doing eff all and pocketing £480 million. May be it is time to tell the French to eff off as they are doing eff all, it would seem.

Ha ha aha. I know the feeling.

Under the board walk at Chatuchak. Too dark to see the detail, only spotted the resemblance when I looked at the photo later

My son and I took the test. I kept failing on the question which battery terminal do you disconnect first. Not because I don't know if it was live or earth, positive of negative but because it said anode or cathode. Hell I learnt physics 50 years ago I can't remember which was the anode and which was the cathode. My son passed first time, I took 3 or 4 goes. But I gather all tests are done on one Sunday in the month and on that Sunday a car crashed into the pole outside the Ministry building in Bangkok and the internet connection was severed so no test results could be filed. So we had to redo the written test. This time I passed first time and my son failed. So we were chatting with the test centre owner while the test was set up again. I thought this taking a while then the owner said he passed. What? The office girl sat the test.

Nice but have you ever tried to get mum and her 8 kittens to pose for a photo.

Not even the Indians themselves it would seem.

The Royal Brompton is an NHS hospital. "Royal Brompton Hospital isprimarily an NHS (National Health Service) hospital, but it also operates a private patient unit. It is part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. While the main services at Royal Brompton Hospital are NHS funded, they also offer private care options. "

" If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison." May get less than 15 years.

It is a good few years since I was in the Philippines. Whilst I accept going to the bank and seeing a guard with a pump action shot gun but the bakery has a guard with a pump action shot gun then you know there is some thing very wrong. May be it is better now,

It seems Musk was quite happy to cut other people's budgets and throw other people out of work but when it directly affects one of his own companies he is not so keen https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c87jq0djw00o

What a joke telephone diagnosis it. How do you listen to somebody's breathing, check if they have high blood pressure. Just a another way to bully people into not seeking medical help. Now I don't necessarily blame the Government for his. Seems to me GPs are taking advantage of practices that were introduced during covid, The same with the recorded phone messages that you get now when you phone any business now, "we are experiencing high call volumes and your wait may be longer than usual. You can however talk to our thick, stupid virtual assistance who wont understand what your question is".

I would say they absolutely were an attack on people who use food banks. You did not see anybody who looked like a nurse, well I wouldn't expect the to turn up in their uniform. You did believe that many of them were drug users getting the food to sell. Now stealing food to sell, I don't condone it but that makes sense. Getting food from a food bank to sell, doesn't make sense.

You can't get an appointment at my GP's surgery. You can get a telephone triage then if you are lucky get an appointment. Good luck getting through on the phone to get the triage.

You may be a British tax payer but you live in Thailand on a retirement visa so don't actually live in the UK. Sounds like you son took you on a tour of the worst parts of which ever town he lives in. I actually live here and as bad as it is how you describe it is not typical. You said "I drove past and saw queues outside food banks. I was told by my son, that many were not desperate, they were begging food then selling it cheap to buy drugs," And how does you son know. Sounds like a highly opinionated person to me. There are many working people who have to rely on food banks to live. I have never heard of people scrounging stuff from food banks to sell. Why would anybody buy food from a drug user when you could just go to the food bank and buy the food there. Yes nurses and other low paid rely on food banks. That is is what 15 years of Tory rule has done to this country. And before you say no I do not support Labour. No doubt I could be taken on a tour of the Thai slums, or any other country, then formulate an opinion of the country based on that. Attacking people unfortunate enough to need to use food banks and describing them as drug users is a pretty low blow. Plenty of drug users are well off and the filthy rich. Why attack less well off people as drug users.

Pornography isn't illegal. Only images of children is. Plenty of the police force view pornography, legally.

Then why suggest it?
