The country, and by extension it's people, is/are not horrible. It's government and army are nasty murderous bastards though.

Given your stance on this topic, no.

I'm not sure what point you're making. Surely it's indisputable that people will suffer and die without aid.

What people do about their dissatisfaction is the logical next step. In life, shouldn't people always play the tape forward before making important decisions? Pretty stupid to do otherwise imo. Explain how anyone wanting a welfare state and NHS can want reform. Turkeys/Christmas.

Something we agree on at last 😉

And who doesn't give us an additional and confusing political layer, causes no harm to us, and gives a boost to tourism. Give me a monarch over a president every day of the week.

Id like to know what they want instead, what they believe the alternative would do, and how much actual thought they'd given the issue. I guarantee a chunk will be benefit benefiting, NHS needing, but want Reform. Bless em.

Unless and until Trump tells Israel that enough is enough, the IDF will continue filling their boots. Other Western voices of reason are irrelevant. It's a shameful carry which will carry on.

At best it's crass and unnecessary. I don't think SOG is racist, but he throws labels and insults at others, so its understandable that he gets the same.

Women who take their handbag onto the gym floor. Use a locker.

Middle age is catching up with you mate!

It's staggering isn't it. Injections and medication to make fat people less fat, all while they're drinking Monster drinks and eating rubbish. Weight control is really simple - eat and drink less shite, and move around more. Effort and discipline are the solution, not drugs.

Quite!! He's MLG esque on this. Elections are won and lost mostly on policy, with the personalities who sell/front the policies being responsible for wooing the public.

You highlight yourself that there's a labour policy shift, to appeal to the masses, but won't have it that politics is mostly about policies. Daft as.

A reminder Hypo that the masses support policies not personalities.

I'll clarify. He's not the objective authority that you think he is. Do you think that someone who alleges bias on the part of our judiciary is objective and/or credible? He's a GB news type populist that people like you lap up because he supports your opinion.

If you listened to the first 7 mins you'll have heard his opinion of our laws. The bloke thinks he knows better than our lawmakers and has the audacity to allege judges as bias just because they don't support his view on immigration. He's not the authority on this issue that you think he is.

Pretty much my thoughts. Legal migration needs to be controlled, and based on our needs. Done well it'll solve lots of skills shortages, and address the concerns of the sensible public. Net migration of circa 3/4 of a million is completely unsustainable. That's more than the population of Southampton, Portsmouth, and Eastleigh combined added to our population every single year. Frightening, and our infrastructure and public purse cannot deal with that. Illegal entry makes up only a small % of that though, and is much more difficult to police than legal entrants.

Nah, needs to be outside space. Hope the recovery is going well, and that the class A's are taking the edge off the pain.

Unusually, we agree. Ultimately we will see asylum granted to many entrants so the numbers won't drop off hugely imo, but we seem to be very attractive for whatever reason.

I got bored with him after 7 minutes as he talks nonsense. Suggesting pro immigration bias by UK Judges is ridiculous. Those Judges enforce the law. His issue, plainly, is the law which he describes as archaic and wants to be 'smashed up'. He's a bloke with a view on immigration who blames laws which don't support his outlook.

Thanks for the answer. Personally, I think that as a nation we're better than housing people in tents. Somewhere between that and homes/hotels feels to be the right kind of balance for me - some sort of dormitory type system with proper amenities.

Where do you suggest they stay? We can't magic accommodation out of thin air. Do we leave them feral? Please give a practical solution rather than just the headline of 'lets make it less desirable'. That's just noise. I don't want so many illegals/faux asylum seekers either, but people have to be realistic about the impossibility of stopping it, and the need to put roofs over the heads of people/clothes on the back of people when they're here.

The clue is in the title of the thread. The party that says this about the NHS: "Maximising the health of the nation requires a fundamental shift away from seeing health as an NHS problem to solve".

Back to my earlier questions...are you saying that when they attend A&E with a popped appendix that they're turned away? I don't want that to be our society. We're better than that. Are you saying that they live feral? If they don't get money for food or clothes, are you resigned to them stealing it? No disrespect, but I'm not sure that your approach plays the tape forward.
