You are absolutely right. However, the criteria seem to be very tightly defined and preclude anyone on a boat. "Safe and legal routes take various forms. Successive recent UK governments have expanded UK refugee resettlement schemes. They have also created extra immigration routes in response to deteriorating security and human rights in Hong Kong, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. The Johnson government committed to providing safe and legal routes of entry as part of a broader programme of asylum reforms outlined in its New Plan for Immigration policy statement (March 2021). It wanted fewer people to come to the UK as asylum seekers and more to come through safe and legal routes. However, successive recent governments have believed it’s inappropriate and counterproductive to provide safe and legal routes for migrants who make unauthorised journeys to Europe and want to come to the UK. Advocates suggest that doing so could help to reduce small boat crossings and other forms of illegal migration." A processing centre in France, offered by the French, but declined by HMG, would help. You have to question why this has happened. The cynic in me suggests that without the crossings there would be nothing to see here.The consequence of which would be there'd be nothing for people to be fearful of or angry about. After all what do the Tories and their media supporters have left other than stoking hatred towards refugees and immigrants. I suppose it helps cover up the shortfalls in their governance.

When you buy a small and relatively cheap appliance either online or in store and you get asked if you want to insure it.

Would lose all interest if that ginger cunt came anywhere near us.

Couldn’t agree more. Taken for the first time as a five year old to watch us beaten by Revie’s Leeds in Div 2, and in truth, apart from a bit in the 70s and 80s it’s not got much better. It is what is. I suspect many of us were born to it rather than chose Saints. If it’s glory and victory you want you’re supporting the wrong team. Wouldnt swap it for anything though. Well, just one non football thing!

I’m old, but going to the Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells 50 Year Anniversary gig at the Hexagon with my daughter. After her mum passed away I promised I’d do a concert as it was something they did together. She wanted me to blow £300 a ticket to see Coldplay in Manchester so something a tenth of the price is my reason to be cheerful. Leon is good stuff. Their salads book might make you revisit the idea BTW. 😂

Yeah, I heard a figure of around 800000 nationally, out of 66 million.

I love Marmite on toast.

Given the number of kids he’s fathered rather surprised that Johnson has pulled out.

Michael Sheen as PM Martin Lewis CEx Deborah Meaden Business Chris Packham Environment 😁

Unfortunately, he passed away and we got Blair as PM instead.

It's kind of get a grip. In football terms we're around 25% in, its October, put things in perspective, that's all.

God knows how some on here would react if something really important happened to them or their loved ones.

Comes across as a decent fella, but that doesn't excuse his record which is lamentable. Should have gone after either of 9-0s as I feel those marked a change to a more cautious Ralph, and it hasn't worked out either in points or in spectacle. Using a political analogy he is becoming as toxic to the fanbase as Truss is the Tories.

Pork Markets!! The Anti-growth Coalition, the new mythical beast on the block.

I'm certainly using less than we were last year especially as I'm on my own now. House had to be kept warm for my wife during her illness. Shame I can't harness my turbo trainer in the garage to help, but on second thought 180W for an hour isn't go very far!

Indeed, I was about to edit my post to make that point, but I've just had a delivery so you beat me to it. Standing charge capped, unit price risen by 27%. Truss been spouting bollocks about it on her local radio clusterfuck this morning.

I already pay £300 a month.

Somebody I know had a working Cocker blinded in one eye recently by a Corgi. It was in Berkshire, by the Thames.

Thanks that was the link. Don't know why it didn't open.

Funny. It wasn't always the case though at least food wise it wasn't. Sanitary arrangements? They're another matter altogether. You'd hear claims of people getting decent quality 3 course lunches/dinners with wine in French service stations not so long ago.

Don’t get anywhere with kids

And Aaron Ramsey's Welsh

😂 Loving the irony!

Indeed, It strikes me that there is a time to wind your neck in, and this is one of those.
