Yes, it's almost like they're gaslighting us, isn't it... The Tories should have defunded them when they had the chance. Because there is no chance Labour is going to defund their own propaganda wing. Especially while their views on Gaza/Hamas are so closely aligned with those of the BBC. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/11749043/Andrew-Gilligan-Jeremy-Corbyn-friend-to-Hamas-Iran-and-extremists.html

Your argument appears to be, "Well - if you ignore all the laws they are clearly breaking, then they are law abiding". And you call ME "dumb"? 😆

They've still got the "Free Free Palestine" and "Transwomen are women" marches to attend.

No, I really don't. Do you mean you consider someone who breaks into a country illegally, stays illegally, works illegally and pays no tax is "law abiding"? If so, would you apply this same logic to a foreigner working illegally without a visa in Thailand? Or is this one of those special classifcations that leftists have for minority illegals in the US?

There is nothing stupid about pointing out the facts. People who illegally enter a country and then work without a visa/work permit are not law abiding. Quite the opposite in fact. They are breaking many fundamental laws.

The government should not tell pensioners where/what to spend their money on. They paid money into the system all their lives. They should get the benefit at the end of it, no matter where they retire. Well, I am not even close to being a pensioner and I chose to invest privately rather than into the state system. As UK government's become increasingly dishonest, increasing the retirement age and then freezing the already woeful UK pension for foreign retirees, I am quite pleased with my decision. My financial future is not dicated by dishonest British politicians. It's just an excuse to limit the payouts after years of paying in. Immoral is what I call it.

Just going on what you have posted on this and previous threads. There is a common theme, you dislike people who have been successful. It's a common trait amongst the left so there's no need to feel alone.

He hates them because they are rich and successful. It's really that simple.

A less myopic view would help here. Maybe you need to take a look at the bigger picture of wealth fleeing the country. 😉 https://www.blacktowerfm.co.uk/news/millionaires-are-fleeing-the-uk-under-labour/

It is indeed immoral. But the British government doesn't care about the indigenous people of Britain who paid into the system all their lives, especially if they are old and working class.

Perhaps you should tell Labour, who are trying to get even more tax out of successful people - leading them to actually leave the UK, resulting in Labour getting less. That's greed. Not to mention economic stupidity.

That's exactly what you suggested. What has being in the top 0.1% got to do with worrying about paying more tax than they are obliged to?

If they are in the country without legal status, then they are not law abiding.

So it's only the top 0.1% who should pay more tax than the elected government decrees they should pay? Given what Labour is wasting the taxpayers money on, I wouldn't want to give them a penny more than I needed to either. Especially when the government is so clearly a proponent of the "politics of envy" that achieves nothing more than driving the wealthy out of the country to pay less tax elsewhere. If I were these two I would pay as little tax as possible and then donate privately to my preferred causes. Which is exactly what they are doing.

Once the police started doing their job instead of bringing them cucumber sandwiches and arresting anyone who became angered by their selfish disruption, they folded pretty quickly. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/just-stop-oil-jailed-m25-environmental-protest-b2582111.html I'm not sure the likes of Lucia and Cressida ever thought they'd see (or were cut out for) the inside of a jail cell.

Labour driving out the wealthy and successful only to replaced by... well you know. The fall of Britain continues at pace under Labour.

What's the message? "Not Kamala"?

See how easily they folded when the police/courts finally stood up to them? The only thing they succeeded at was making the general public despise them. Great job. 😆

Nothing mysterious about Giuffre's suicide. She'd burnt all her bridges and had nowhere left to go. Karma caught up with her. Sad, but not mysterious. Diana's death wasn't really "mysterious" either. She got into the car of a drunk driver and didn't put on a seat belt. I do think Epstein's "suicide" was shifty though. But that's probably for another thread.

He was probably after a full time gig at The BBC and thought he'd make it perfectly clear that his political stance was in line with theirs. In hindsight, it would have been easier to just lie on his CV like the BBC's fact checker girl.

Just build some Thai style prisons. 50 to a cell. Sleep on the concrete floor. Bread and water twice a day. We could keep illegal immigrants in there until they can pay for a flight home.

All we need to do now is elect Reform, leave the ECHR and actually implement Brexit.

Serious issues with these activist extremist lefty judges in the US. They need to drain the swamp. A decade in prison would set a good precedent to set with this lunatic.

A bit unfair to compare Guiffre to Thai bargirls. They don't fabricate stories years after the transaction is complete to ruin someone's life.

I'd be wary of the renal failure stories. She was lieing about the "terrible" car crash as recently as a few weeks ago. To be honest I'm not sure I believe this story either until there is a verified report of her death. Could just be another stunt to get compensation, just like her sex trafficking stories. #believeallwomen
