This is interesting. Are they trying to pull a fast one? Not as daft as they look?https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/10/rachel-reeves-capital-gains-tax-rise-budget

Yep, that's what they all say. :unsure:

Could you rephrase your question in just a few words? Say twenty perhaps? It's difficult to locate in your meandering text. Bribery implies buying a particular favour. Gratuities could imply cultivating the possibility of favours yet to come, rather than being merely grateful expressions of...

Missed Mar el Lago by inches! Obviously another Trump assassination attempt. :unsure: Ruffled his hair a touch. You can see he looks shaken but still unbowed. PS just noticed - his face seems to have a similar texture to orange skin, not just the colour! Is he "transitioning"? Going the full...

Sounds like you are offering another amateur study done by some unknown geezer on youtube! :ROFLMAO: Or did you put much time in on this? Do you have any figures? Are there a lot of would-be casual workers being put out of work by this? Irrelevant anyway - migrant farm workers are generally not...

Yeah that crazy so-called "good" Samaritan was just a virtue-signalling, woke, nosey-parker, do-gooder. He should have walked on by like the sensible people and saved himself from "a disruptive and costly burden". Obvious innit!

Not true at all. Farage is multi-millionaire and all the leaders of reform and many other hard-right nutters, tend to be very well off. Here is a well known gang of racists and all mega rich: People on low incomes can be suckers for the propaganda coming from the chaps above and the...

Basically premise of civilised societies everywhere is that no one is a criminal until proven Paranoid nonsense. They are all normal human beings as a rule. Hiding on a dinghy in the middle of the channel doesn't really look like a smart move! What, disguise yourself as an illegal immigrant so...

More Daily Mail malignant nonsense. You can read elsewhere about the miserable conditions of asylum seekers if you could be bothered.

:ROFLMAO: Did you pass? However "it was designed" it would have been in our power to change and develop it. It was political agreement in the first place, by definition. Seems very unlikely. The benefits were obvious, even more so now that we have thrown them away.

Somehow the whole conversation around immigration needs to be changed. First to recognise that they are highly motivated and not risk averse (or they wouldn't be here), that they are looking to improve their lives and hoping for work, that they are escaping from conditions which are often awful...

I don't think Labour will be worse than the Tories. In their favour they don't have an ideology, which is what drove the tories round the bend - all that free-market nonsense. Except of course Starmer's very strong commitment to the Israeli extreme right, which has been the only consistent...

Tory party dead in the water. Labour are the new conservatives. What we now need is an opposition.

Really? Surely it is like the worst possible way, judging by events so far. Doesn't make sense and sounds like more of the usual anti immigrant propaganda.

It's a big vote catcher - there are a lot of Alf Garnetts! Starmer doesn't have a policy so he just blags on along the same lines, freewheeling, waiting for inspiration.

Very uninteresting so far. He's promised to "smash the gangs". Just another meaningless gesture to keep our Alf Garnetts happy.

You are effectively, until you can prove otherwise.

:ROFLMAO: Starmer chipped in some nonsense about "attacking the gangs" as a solution to the Alf Garnett problem.

There is water to cross for anyone wishing to get here from every other country in the world, excepting Scotland Wales and Ireland. Have a look at a map if you don't believe me!

Well done! Do you realise that you too are an "illegal immigrant" every time you enter Britain, for the few minutes (usually much longer) it takes before you pass through controls? It's a non issue. Not at all. Only in the minds of the xenophobes and racists. In reality immigration is not a...
