Stop the boats

Darran think about this for five mins. If you were them and your mother Country was the UK. So ie your mother tongue is English and maybe your relatives live in say Birmingham (to be stereotypical) I bet if you were in their shoes wouldn’t you try to get to the UK? Where as former French...

Darran when you vote in an election you can have more than one thought in your head. On a list of priorities I’d be something like this: Economy Foreign affairs/defence (maybe should be no 1 now) Education (future of country) Health Law & order… ….. Sort out small boats

See above post for boat response

The thing with the so called “uncontrolled” immigration argument is that it simply refers to the boats. Which no one bar the most rampant save the whale type would be for. But an intelligent response would be safe routes, together with multi lateral agreements on sharing the problem. So ie we...

That’s pretty much what we have right now. As a result of this approach we have a higher amount of people from outside Europe coming in and a much older less mobile immigration flow after Brexit.

MrSwerve I am interested in debating with you. You suggest the migration policies are a draw. Specifically which policies or is it more related to rhetoric which is more about feelings. Also let’s say we have zero immigration. Why would your life or others improve in this scenario if our...

Johnson is a great example of media manipulation. He was an atrocious PM who destroyed the Country with his choice to back leave. He had net immigration at around 1m but funnily enough at that point the public had few issues with immigration because funnily enough the mail et al decided it...

I think the way around it is to have a PM who has a bold agenda to change the system ie a bold agenda on political reform and voting reform. This would mean yes upsetting the tabloid media and it would mean facing down voters who will buy the lies. - State funding of political parties -...

I’ve been backing Starmer for a while but I think he has run out of road. I think he’s a thoroughly decent guy who’s trying his best but he doesn’t cut the mustard as PM. He just doesn’t have the skill set especially for the modern media age. We haven’t had a functioning Gov since before...

This is the problem with this Country though overall. We moan about no manufacturing anymore yet we want to pay bargain prices for everything. Which of course means you need to import from overseas

I can’t believe anyone would actually want to buy Carling or Fosters. I’d rather be tee-total.

I’m not against the idea of some intervention here. But as ever it’s implementation that’s the major issue with unintended consequences. It’s a familiar pattern with Welsh gov and it’s got to stop. I just hope with the long overdue demise of Welsh Labour. legislation even if I don’t agree...

I tell you what I’m struggling with at moment. Is more a loathing of America. I’m struggling with that notion as I know it’s bad to judge in that sense. But Trump for one was voted into office with a clear mandate and embodies what I think has damaged our World. Rampant greed, selfishness...

I don’t know why you’re shouting. I’m intrigued what’s the issue with Law. I don’t know enough.
