Surely the Police is one area where we need to ensure that the people in the job are those best suited to the tasks in hand, rather than a statistical balancing act ?

It is hard knowing you are wrong but having to maintain a public persona that says your are confident in the veracity of what you say. Nic is a troubled soul that has gone too far down the rabbit hole and has now only 2 options; admit his error or double down.

Do you think he is vain enough for a Guided Missile Appreciation Thread ?

Trump is like one of those talking Action Man dolls with a string in it's back, he has a handful of stock phrases and every time somebody gives him a nudge the next set comment comes out.

God help me, I agree with GM.

If KWP staying, and leaving on a free next summer, means we stay up, is that good business?

Indeed. I can trace mine back to before the Civil War, but part of that genealogy is Welsh, part English, snd part Scottish, and at some point a dash of Roma. Which 'homeland' should I aspire to ? Do we follow the American logic for declaring yourself "Irish" on St Patrick's Day, one great grandparent counts ?

But are they each a distinct group ? How many 'English' have Scots, Welsh, or Irish parents, grandparents, or great grandparents ? How many generations back must the bloodline be traceable ? It is much easier to consider this in parts of Wales, or the more remote areas of Scotland, admittedly, but a lot of Britons are mongrels.

And the costs of care go up. There is no easy answer to this issue. Whatever is done to reduce immigration will cost, but would people be willing to accept that ?

Presumably the Ukrainians understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what they hope to acheive.

Do you think GM would actually be welcome ?

Rwandan President Kagame re-elected for a 4th term, with 99% of the vote.

Loving the irony of Russian news outlets condemning the threat to their 'peaceful civilian population', yet also reporting the drone strikes on Ukrainian towns and villages.

There is a lot of pro-Russian guff swamping places like YouTube.

Indeed. From what I have seen the Russians have been battered, especially that troop convoy that got HIMARS'd.

You cannot apply for asylum at a UK embassy, you must physically be in the UK. AFAIK there are only 3 approved routes; for Afghans, Ukrainians, and people from Hong Kong.
