Weston Super Saint

I agree that infrastructure needs to be improved. I don't agree that immigrants have caused the issues. The population of the UK has grown by roughly 0.5% in the last ten years. Not unreasonable that the Government should have budgeted responsibility for this growth. It's not like there was a sudden surprise spike in the population that could never have been predicted.

This is a narrow minded view that all immigrants are benefit scroungers.

Immigrants that are working, living and shopping in the UK are paying income tax, NI, VAT, alcohol, tobacco and fuel duty, as well as council tax etc etc etc. They pay the same as anyone else living in the country, so, like I said, the money is already there. Successive governments have just pissed it up the wall.

Nah. All those legs look like they work.

What infrastructure are you looking for? For student visas - they have to pay to use the NHS. For economic migrants - by their very nature they are working, so pay income tax, NI etc (unless working illegally, in which case deportation awaits). For EU migrants - the vast majority are workers so pay NI etc. those that aren't are generally economically active so will pay some form of tax. The money is there (and has been all along) it's just been spent on sweets and shiny shit by the previous morons on charge of it.

You haven't. I haven't suggested you have. You have, though, suggested that the UK needs to do more. Why does the UK need to do that if, as it seems that you agree, we are already satisfying our commitments under international treaty?

In what way does our current process not align with our commitments under international treaty?

This article suggests that "many" thousands of Ukraine troops have entered Russia...

Has anyone seen Ross Stewart lately? Do we have insurance covering the mysterious disappearing footballer?

Good to see Afghan topping the table with both 15 and 13%!!

I agree. So they should be tried as terrorists then?

Genuine question. Do those fleeing harm and seeking asylum in safe countries generally have access to the internet? For those that have made it to a country close to the country of origin, aren't they able to seek safe harbour in that country? I think you may also be confusing legitimate asylum seekers with illegal economic migrants when you mention 'people smugglers' - although that is ignoring the fact that the majority of people who are 'smuggled' are generally being done so against their will (see forced prostitution, domestic slavery, modern day slavery).

Given there was talk earlier in the week about proscribing EDL as a terrorist organisation and that the rioters should be punished under the Terrorism Act, then why not? Try them as terrorists with a minimum 14 years sentence...

Even a particularly right wing view of law and order? Or do you think 'shooting protestors in the head' is acceptable?

How about posting on here (social media) that the army should be brought in to 'spray the brains of the protestors all over the street' (or words to that effect). "Bang them up if they promote hate or violence"?

Law breaker being arrested? Not that odd. She should have been doing bird by now.

Katie Price being arrested 🤣

I suspect he's confusing you with literally everybody else on the innernetz. He's old, so confusion comes with the territory.

Windscreen yesterday with a rock. Window in today's version of the story. Probably just a chancer after something left on the passenger seat - phone, iPad, handbag, who knows. Still, good to blame the racists for it though, even though they probably had no fucking clue who's car it was!!

Like I said yesterday, the rock must have done it. Deport the rock FFS.

Because you are a liar. You lied about Shamima Begum just yesterday to try and justify your right wing views about stripping people of their citizenship.

Great communication with them both speaking the same language.

I don't think there are any "far right" or even "slightly right of centre" living in Bristol. Lots of "greens" and students though.

The rock should be deported.

You may be a little out of touch Nick. £20,000 per year for a 40 hour week = 20000/52/40 = £9.61 per hour Even for a 37.5 hour week (40 hours, less 30 min break per day) the pay rate would be £10.26 per hour. Given the minmum wage is £11.44, both of the options above would be illegal for anyone over 21!!
