hypochondriac

Don't think I'll bother replying to you further except to say that attitudes like yours will not lead to these problems getting any better. I don't agree with your summation of the issues.

Why does it matter? Even if it's fake it was a joke post.

It's an account on twitter?

Not that it matters but I remember him saying it.

I've addressed that twice later in the thread.

Yes like I said it's a start. You're right though that legal migration has increased massively as well. A fair amount of it as whelk pointed out is necessary but not all of it. I'd like the UK to be more selective about it's immigration and ensuring that we aren't importing cultural norms that are incompatible with our society.

Lowering the levels will at least prevent it from getting progressively worse each year. You're right that it won't solve the problem completely but it would be a start.

Just dramatically reducing illegal immigration would make a big difference. Equating illegal migrants with legal migrants doing useful jobs isn't helpful and it's a different debate about what level we want legal migration to be. On a personal level I don't think it's acceptable to have growing communities that don't make efforts to assimilate into society. I think the government needs to be more confident and stronger about standing up for our values and being clear about what is unacceptable. On top of everything else, jumping the queue by climbing in a boat and then being able to stay is extremely un British.

The problem with Alcaraz is he's the sort of player you'd give extended game time to wheb you're most able and can afford to give time to someone rather inconsistent. He has potential to be brilliant but I doubt he will get the time here.

Two months? I thought he'd get 6 at least. Bloody labour soft on crime.

I think that's stating the obvious.

Working class white boys have some of the worst outcomes in UK society if not the worst. I would argue that the problems in the UK are rooted to a. Much greater degree in class than race. I never once said I was giving labour a month to resolve it.

Boneheaded takes like this won't resolve anything. Real attempts need to be made to understand, listen and engage - not with people smashing up the place but others within the primarily working class communities that have the perception that they are being ignored and not listened to.

No idea I just think there needs to be serious attempts and signs that it's actually making a difference. I think you also need to listen to communities and seek to address their frustrations. Even if it's untrue, there is a perception among a significant section of society that the police treat communities differently and that they don't matter. Certainly isn't the fault solely of Labour but there needs to be an attempt to quell things and start some sort of dialogue. That's what I'd like to see anyway rather than more people coming out to riot.

I'll leave you to your warm lager with Rory Stewart. You'd get on famously.

That seems a bit slow. Skip the trial and throw them straight in the slammer.

If you're not a fan then I'm doing something right.

I note you didn't say Rory Stewart.

Serious attempts to tackle illegal migration would be a good start.

Worth pointing out that long sentences for everyone involved in this isn't going to resolve the tensions bubbling under the surface. Some attempt needs to be made to resolve some of the issue because it's not going away.

Twitter is great. I'd certainly rather have a beer with Elon musk than the likes of Rory Stewart or Jon sopel. Not least because he'd be more likely to buy it.

Wonder if we would get veliz and Miovski or just one? If we are planning to play, Diaz across the front line then might need two strikers depending on what happens to Stewart. Would hopefully signal the end of Mara.

That's just reporting what Blackmore said yesterday.

It's because the sneaky Jews hold all the power.

Out of interest what are you basing that on? The palace games I saw he looked decent.
