How did I lose?

Remain in the EU = win.

Leave the EU and massively increase the chances of Scottish independence = win.

Yes but Boris being upper crust says yadoor, yadoor, yadoor. Rather like the queen who can't speak her own English. (my husband and air).

Too right,   Boris....the best recruiting sergeant Scottish Independance ever had. 

Corbyn may have given the UK Brexit, and 5 years (Maybe) of Brainless Boris, but at least he did have one good effect. 

 

I should have said Boris and his chlorinated chickens, the correct noun for a group of Tory MPs.

It is the fees paid by overseas students which keep the fees down for British students. Without them the fees in England and Wales would be even higher and the Scottish government would be unable to subsidise fees for Scottish students so they pay nothing.

 

A UK student visa is not as easy to obtain nor as cheap as you seem to think.

Trouble is a lot of the establishments offering education are fraudulent.

This used to be the case, particularly with so called English schools. But the regulations were changed in 2011 to make it much more difficult for fraudulent establishments to operate.

 

These days applicants for a Tier 4 study visa must demonstrate they have a minimum knowledge of English and the sponsoring educational establishment must be on the register of licensed sponsors: students. In addition, all the other eligibility requirements must be met.

 

However, most coming to study English as a foreign language do so on a short term study visa where the requirements are slightly different; the main difference being no English language requirement. They do still have to be sponsored by an educational establishment on the register, though.

 

When considering the impact foreign students have on the UK, in 2017 the Home Secretary commissioned a report from the Migration Advisory Committee into the impact of foreign students. The report makes interesting reading. For example, from the Executive Summary: "16. International students bring an economic benefit to the UK and are an important export market, with the Department for Education estimating their export value at £17.6 billion in 2015."

The only thing Corbyn has going for him is that he's a Gooner, everything else no way, can't forget his IRA buddies.

I don't think you know what a Gooner is.

The problem I have with that is the Scots don't want independence, and I use that term losely, being joined to another 27 countries is hardly independent. The Scots were asked and they were very happy to remain within the UK, it is only the SNP that want to take the Scots away from our union and I'm afraid Boris said 'NO'

A reminder of the actual subject of this topic: Approval of government handling of coronavirus sinks to lowest level

Quote

Most Britons now say the government is doing a bad job of managing the crisis

Following the furore over the actions of Dominic Cummings over the last two weeks, and the government’s response, public approval of the way the powers that be are handling the coronavirus crisis has fallen to its lowest level yet.

There is now a 15-pt margin between the 56% of Britons who say the government has done a bad job of managing the outbreak and the 41% who believe it has done a good job. The survey was conducted from 27-29 May, prior to the most recent loosening of lockdown regulations

Be interesting to see the results of the next one after that loosening.

 

The government's overall approval rating has fallen by a massive 17 points from 52% on 29th-30th March to just 35% on  1st-2nd June.

Because of a virus, when things get back to normal, hopefully, we can move on, especially from the EU which the electorate voted for twice......????

Very few are happy about the restrictions of the corona, but they put up with it. No wonder another poll can be produced with anti-govt propaganda. The few who are happy are those idling at home on an 80% subsidy, plus the Lefties & MSM who can continually moan about Boris on another subject.

 

The government's overall approval rating will rocket skywards as soon as the pubs are open again; the sun shines; and we are finally free of the EU. So that will be at the end of this month.

[vogie]

Tories still have a healthy 10% lead over Labour, the row over "Cummings seems to have plateaued" people now they know the truth have seen it as a MSM stitch up.

 Yes, because of the virus; that is why the article is headed "Approval of government handling of coronavirus sinks to lowest level!" 

 

Of course, as the other poll shows, their overall approval rating has been steadily falling since March, and has sunk even lower since the lies told on Cummings' behalf have been exposed. 

 

The electorate have indeed voted twice on our membership. But both results were not, as you imply, to leave. In 1975 the result was Remain; in 2016 the result was Leave.

 

But if you mean the 2019 vote; that was a general election, not a vote on the UK's membership of the EU.  But if you want to count it as such remember that 43% voted Tory and 53% voted for parties who promised a referendum on the final deal.

Excuses, excuses.

 

The polls were produced by YouGov; a source well loved by your fellow travellers when they show results of which they approve!

 

See @vogie's post below yours!

 

As for your final paragraph, yes, their approval rating may very well rise; once the Tories have ditched Johnson and his boss Cummings. As I've said elsewhere I suspect that to be shortly after Brexit has been finalised. Which will be at the end of December, not July.

 Voting intentions vs approval rating? 

 

Yes, the Tories have seen a slight rise, after a massive drop, in those intending to vote for them at the next election. Perhaps it's because, like me, many Tory voters expect the party to ditch Johnson and Cummings at the earliest possibility.

 

Meanwhile, the poll I linked to, conducted after yours, shows a drop in this government's approval rating to 35%

UK per capita deaths are out of control.  2 1/2 times that of the US.

So very sad.  What happened?  Why the total mismanagement of this crisis?

I hate to see it and now the total mistrust of the government by its citizens.

Tragic and unbelievable.

 

Dreadful situation where people who have nothing better to do than blame someone else for their problems most likely brought on by their own pig heads.

It's a virus that you can't see feel or smell.

Ignore the rules, go out and meet your friends blah blah blah and then stand up and shout 'why doesn't the Gov' do something to protect us. What do you want?, your own plastic bubble to live in and the Gov' to come and feed you every day and wipe your botty for you?

Nobody seems to take responsibility nowadays, it's always someone elses fault.

Reality reality,

 

All the polls are useless. They were spectacularly wrong on the two main real polls of the past four years - the Referendum and December Election. Voters opinions change and will do so again when Boris pulls off either a good deal or No Deal.

 

The few (probably soppy southerners) polled here have had their opinions poisoned by the constant stream of MSM propaganda which has recently intensified. Approval Rating means nothing at this stage, as will be reflected when it gets to another General Election. Even I would give them a poor rating at this stage because they should never have closed the whole country down. Next month that will have changed.

 

Would any sane person rather have a Labour government making any type of decision at a time of crisis? Everybody knows the answer to that would be "Not bloody likely."

Fears of a second coronavirus spike are growing today after new figures showed the virus could be growing exponentially in the northwest of England.

The reproduction rate is thought to be 1.01 in the northwest and 1 in the southwest according to data compiled by Public Health England (PHE) and Cambridge University.

The blow comes as the World Health Organisation updated its guidelines to recommend everyone wear a mask while in public – and over-60s wear medical grade masks.
