Just take her passport and stick her on a dinghy in Calais. That way she'll get asylum AND 3 months free in a London 5 star hotel.

Or when you once again bring them into a thread about the UK government.

You keep bringing up Labour, then when they are rightfully derided you want the subject changed ????. If you don't want to discuss Labour, Brexit etc. then stop bringing it up.

Actually we already tried that. It was going OK until power hungry politicians started empire building so we left the failed Federalist project following a Democratic vote to do so ????.

I'm going to assume these are more unnamed sources from extreme left publications ?????

Why would she do that? The Tories have 2 more years of power. Plenty of time to turn it around.

You are assuming that deliberate actions cannot be a mistake. As for polls, irrelevant. 2 years is an awfully long time in politics and ever since WMD Tony scurried off, Labour have always managed to screw it up just in time for a major vote.

Nobody forced her to do it. It was a political mistake. If there were a credible opposition it might have been costly. Let's hope she learns from this before Labour become a serious alternative. She's safe for now but if Starmer, Abbott, Lammy, Rayner etc. were replaced with competent, decent human beings it could become a real issue in terms of staying in power.

Truss should never have backed down to the pressure from the champagne communists. A slippery slope. A political mistake. She should have doubled down on those policies, not reversed. Her only saving grace is that Labour are still unelectable. WMD Tony is probably considering a comeback as we speak.

After a recent visit to the UK, I think they should be focusing more on casual cocaine use. At a local country pub on a Sunday evening, there were about 5 guys in their early 20's going to the toilet every 10 minutes and coming back sniffing, wiping their nose etc. It was so obvious I asked my niece what was going on and she confirmed they were taking cocaine in the toilets and that it's very common now and pretty much socially acceptable in many groups. As for weed, pretty much harmless in my experience, unless you consider laziness, tie dye t-shirts and white guys with dreadlocks a danger to society.

Just saw this on the BBC ????. Shades of the Terminal 21 killing in Korat. A soldier again by all accounts. Shocking. Hopefully he is caught soon. Edit ; a policeman not a soldier.

Maybe they are coming because they love Beans on Toast and a bit of milk in their tea? Yes that must be it. It couldn't possibly be due to the handouts on offer from historically weak governments...

These YouTubers are pretty annoying. Walking into bars and restaurants, filming people without permission. They should be banned unless they have a specific agreement from the owner. In this case, it would appear they did have permission and diners simply had to put up with it and eat outside. In which case I'd probably be avoiding that restaurant in future.

Legal Immigrants like Suella Braverman have just as much right to be concerned about illegal immigration to the UK as anyone else. Whether they are first generation or second generation. They are UK citizens now and shouldn't have to conform to your (or anyone else's) antiquated stereoptypes about how immigrants should think.

Labour has far more issues with racism and anti-semitism that the Conservatives. "They are what they accuse you of being". https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-rupa-huq-apology-kwarteng-b2176553.html

Are you suggesting that France has more persecution of minorites than the UK? How can that be, when the UK is so awful, so racist and so xenophobic? It's amazing that so many minorities wish to go there isn't it... It's almost like people are just making it all up ????. Or maybe it's just "their truth" in the same way that you have your "interpretation of the facts".

There is nothing racist or xenophobic about wishing to control illegal immigration, as you well know. It's just a tired olf insult thrown out by left when they are losing an argument. Used so frequently that it has become meaningless. If you want real racism, I suggest you look no further than the Labour party and their antiquated views on what a Black man should be, how they should vote, how they should talk, what they should think. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63050482 As so often with the left, they are what they accuse you of being.

France is perfectly safe. https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/europe/france/crime-in-france

Hate and Anger? ???? You're really on a roll today. Quite the imagination ????.

Not yet. I will feel much better when it has been implemented though ????.

Oh save it - darkest hour ????. We both know they are perfectly safe in France. They are crossing the channel for better handouts, not to avoid persecution.

An excellent initiative. Much as I would like to see this implemented overnight, I realise it could take some time. So in the meantime, I suggest they set up immigration detention centres to house these illegal economic migrants from France. I'd suggest making them similar in terms of style to the Thai immigration detention centres, only less luxurious. Then patrol the borders picking up the dinghy occupants and immediately take them to the detention centres to stay indefinitely. That should disincentivize the majority from coming to the land of handouts until the ban can be implemented. We should also leave the ECHR. We should make our own standards on human rights and do not need Strasbourg to weaponize them against us as they did in the Rwanda debacle.

That is a different point. The other poster stated that all we've seen is money to the wealthy. That was inaccurate since middle and low earners also got a tax break. Being a charitable kind of guy (not to mention kind, virtuous etc.) I will assume it was an honest mistake and she is genuinely incapable of understanding the finer points of the budget ????.

Thanks Steven, I always appreciate compliments. At 56 Billion per year I could have rounded up to 1.08 Billion per week but I didn't want to exaggerate the increase in NHS funding under the Tories since the Brexit vote so I went with 1.07. And to think, they only promised 350 million. Always better to under promise and over deliver.
