So how/why did almost 1500 Albanians go back to Albanian between Sept 2001-Sept 2002? 

Why are we looking at figures from 20 years ago

Forgive me but im just catching up

We have our own deal with Albania, not some agreement from 2006. If they shouldn’t be here they will be sent back….eventually, regardless if we are in the EU or not. 

Eventually

Are you not concerned how long its fucking taking?

Be prepared for some whataboutery and an obscure question in return.

I dont like how using the term "lefty" in a derogatory way has just been normalised by the PM either. Whichever side of the debate you're on it doesn't really do much for rhe standard of discourse does it. 

Especially when the new lefty is, in fact. Generally very in the middle and feeling uncomfortable with the way this lot are going

Its so obvious what the game is

Theyve fucked everything so blame the darkies

Spot on.

How much would it cost to have a large team of blokes with big darts who could work on the French beaches just popping the dinghies before they set off?

Could make it into a game show, or give prizes for most boats popped.

I bet it wouldn’t cost as much as a full UK pension.

Theyre just not thinking properly.

It’s almost as if - and this is a bit cynical - it’s almost as if the boat folk are a bit of a nuisance but a fucking handy “enemy” to divert people with.

They should call them The Goldstein’s and make it pure 1984.

Our NHS organisation has just been told that we need to cut staffing costs by 30% by the end of 2024/2025. 

Just wondering if anybody has seen that money from the side of the bus because we could sure do with it coming about nowish!

All that money is being spent on pensions for Albanian Alan

I thought pretty much every trust was crying out for staff?

And it's not working, hence the new legislation, its almost as if some will do anything to defend the frankly indefensible and stop people having a reasonable conversation about things that matter such as cost of living, the NHS etc etc

I don't work for a trust - I'm a manager. It's palatable to sack managers though and 'eliminate waste' 😁

And then when the systems break down in a couple of years - they realise why they employed us in the first place.

Exactly

Very studied and deliberate use of language to get certain folk frothing at the mouth.

Back to type I see. Knew it would happen eventually. You need a new TV I think pal. You may be shocked at the colour of Suella, Rishi and Priti's skin.

But it won't break down. You will soon have a lefty lawyer running things. Just watch that magic wand - especially if they throw the borders wide open too. Your life within the NHS will become so much easier.

The Tories will win the next election.

We all know it deep down.

Agreed. If politics could rise above this kind of entrenched whataboutery and stop the descent into culture wars which have ruined this country then we'd be all the better for it.

Our Prime Minisiter said 'lefty', who said Nazi?
