Nigel knows, he's going to deploy the Navy (by the way, he'd never do that, not in a million years) but he knows that there are enough people who believe he will

I do still find it astounding that folk are so against a true Englishman and would vote for a Europhile sycophant instead. There's no accounting for taste - or lack of it.

At least we know how petrified he has the left leaners and the centrists. That has a value itself - just look how far he has already moved them policy wise (at least in the way they talk to try and win back votes - not necessarily on their actions which are basically pea shooters to try to stop an invasion).

'Smash the gangs'. Going well is it not?

Stop giving them stuff and make ourselves more attractive to proper EU working migrants.

They only come because of what's on offer. Stop giving them a life to come to.

 

 

Wonder if folk are ready to accept that Brexit brought the boats. So we have to thank the Brexshit voters for the situation 🫡

Mostly fair.

If people are willingly risking their lives to cross the channel and in doing so they leave a safe, prosperous country, do you think telling them they won't be able to stay in a travel tavern would stop them? 

Yep.

Once again this week I have been struck with the left wing bias of the BBC. Their reporting of 'the March' was bad enough but if you analyse the commentators they get to comment on almost any subject (Gaza, Charlie Kirk etc.) it is always some some so called 'expert' from a US university invariably in the left wing nest of vipers that is California.

Never Texas, Alabama or Georgia etc. Always California. Biased Bastards Corporation.

“Left wing bias” = views someone from the right of politics doesn’t agree with.

“Right wing bias” = views someone from the left of politics doesn’t agree with.

BBC is pretty impartial and centrist (as per their charter).  Doing a good job 👍

It’s good to hear views you disagree with - helps keep your mind open and challenged.

I notice nobody answered my straightforward question.

The only logical conclusion is that nobody has a fucking clue so will blame Starmer as it requires less thinking.

Even the ones not working? 

Recent studies have shown that overall migration reduces GDP per capita and makes the country effectively poorer.

Those earning above the threshold will he contributing of course, but the rest just suppress wages, push up housing costs etc.

Meanwhile, food production is under attack from various flanks.

Some basic economics at play.

That's if they'll admit him. They have standards y'know.

Sent 2 back today.👏 (The French will send us 2 that they don’t want)

Meanwhile, an estimated 800 have arrived today. It’s all becoming a bit farcical.

 

I was wrong. It was actually 1072 arrived yesterday. We sent another back today. That makes 3.

Have we received those scheduled to come the other way?

There was a suggestion that we would be receiving quite a number to replace those scheduled to go back to France, but were being held back by their appeals.

It’s a cracking deal according to some on here. They probably won’t get involved in any debate today, I’m guessing a hangover is to blame.

Don't worry, it is only a proof of concept.

I'm sure they'll improve it: not fight all appeals and job done.

I think they may have sneaked them on to one of the boats to save on costs then charged the UK for first class passage on Air France. I joke but to be honest, it really wouldn’t surprise me.

What’s the solution Lt?

Ive asked Boby and Zulu and they don’t have one.

hoping you might. 🤞

This seems to have everyone stumped

Intelligent folk, too.

[Zulu]

It's simple Ginger. 'Smash the gangs'. Sir Keir said so on more than one occasion. He's going to start any day now. Any day.

Bolty has given his worldly wisdom, unless you have him on ignore but I expect better of you as you aren't an absolute snowflake.

What would your solution be Boby?

Fatty Zulu doesn’t have one. Can you help him?

Are you that thick son? I’ve just told you. I would put my trust in Sir Keir and his equally competent ministers to smash the gangs as they promised. It’s going to happen any day now. Just you wait. 
if it doesn’t happen surely that would indicate that Sir Keir is a lying spineless gobshite who couldn’t find his own arse with both hands. That’s not the case, is it? Is it?

And I have asked you to share your solution for this knotty problem. I’m still waiting Ginge. 😉

You don’t have a solution then? Fatty.

I’ll keep waiting for your answer. Tubs.

I asked first.

thats how it works on here as you well know.

I keep reading what doesn’t work, which implies that people must know better.

They just need to say.

Until then, I’m off to speak to some Wigan fans on the twitters
