It’s of their own doing that there are many more choices of channels nowadays and they have a great deal more competition?

And find evidence that people changed their voting intention based on what they saw. Given that he won the election he is on very thin ice there too. It would be great if they invoked the 25th Amendment but then we would end up with Vance as POTUS. Not sure if that would be a huge improvement.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

No you are not and people are not being prevented from voting. All that is changing is the date. Thicko. So, moving on. Your thoughts on Trump’s disgusting words after the death of Rob Reiner. Ok with that? I am sure you and your like kicked off about “looney lefties” supposedly disrespecting Charlie Kirk after his death. I don’t think I read anything that even comes close to the level of disrespect displayed by Trump. Can you bring yourself to call it out for what it is? -

Oh, and the jury trials are being limited (not done way with) because the CJS is in its knees after 14 years of austerity and measures need to be taken to fix it. If you are so precious about juries are you going to start a campaign to have all magistrates courts moved over to jury trials? -

Go and read up on why the elections have been postponed (not cancelled - there is a big difference as well you know). You are not correct. As usual. -

Only 1% of the boat people per annum were likely to be deported to Rwanda. Not much of a deterrent. Mist of these people are unlikely to know about the plan before leaving France. Not much of a deterrent. The cost of deporting them to Rwanda is £63,000 more than keeping them here. Not cost effective. The plan was announced just before elections and was clearly just an effort to win votes. Instead of wasting money on expensive gimmicks we need to get our money’s worth out of the French. We need to stop them leaving the beaches in the first place and make more legal routes available. -

So it was supported by some and not by others. Hardly a ringing endorsement is it? It was playing to the supporters of Farage and was just a stunt. Seems like you swallowed it too.

Everybody is entitled to legal representation. Extremists are no different. I should have mentioned that the Rwanda plan was also morally wrong. Not that you seem to worry about little things like that. -

The numbers were limited by the numbers Rwanda could take. It was never, ever a good idea and has been discredited by many senior politicians who are better placed to make a call than you are. -

No it wasn’t. Even a prominent Tory called the plan “Batshit Crazy.” It was only ever going to happen to a small minority, not everybody. You can’t have too much regard for human rights lawyers. It is not for you to decide who deserves them or not. That is down to a court, thank goodness. Your idea of who is a “bad person” is not a good starting point. -

Rwanda was never a good idea. The numbers were too small and it was too expensive. If people are willing to risk drowning crossing the Channel they would be willing to risk the small chance of being deported to Rwanda. There is also some conflict out there which means it is not necessarily a safe country. Not at all surprised that you have so little regard for human rights. So you have moved on from looney lefties to looney human rights lawyers now. -
He also has to prove that it was transmitted by the BBC in Florida which will prove problematic.

Rape is a dreadful crime isn’t it Batman? Good to hear that the police are bringing in specialised teams to deal with it. -

It doesn’t help when you can’t trust the people who are supposed to protect you. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj3zkl11jm3o.amp -
If a CEO of a company had written this they would have been escorted out of the building by security. It’s beyond bizarre that such an appalling human being who demonstrates his unsuitability for such a job daily remains in post.
