Okay, don't understand what happened there.

Too late! Gillingham v Doncaster home win for the stats. Good luck folks. 😉

13% of MPs in parliament for reform, representative of how many actually voted for them ensuring the positions they support featured in parliamentary debate? Labour wouldn't have an overall majority instead of nearly all seats in parliament, reflecting that they didn't secure a majority of the vote, so would have to consult with other parties to pass legislation? With the conservatives on 20%, government would be labour led without them doing anything they like for five years; they'd have to work with the Lib Dems or the Greens, who would be constructive while the cross-party nature of government will give proper transparency and accountability for the public. I don't see a problem.

Toomaj. An Iranian rapper just sentenced to death by Iran for protesting and producing 'propaganda against the state.'

I've been long critical of Macron, but lately he's sounding more and more like a proper leader in my view. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/04/25/in-eu-speech-macron-says-europe-is-mortal-and-can-die_6669505_4.html

I think Sara would win player of the last half season, but he has grown a lot this year; I think overall Kenny does merit it more when considering the whole season.

I don't understand why this bit has been overlooked given the profits if the rolling stock owners are huge. I can understand it in terms of capital outlay in one go, but that doesn't mean government can't start buying new rolling stock itself as the private stock wears out.

Nine in ten failed applicants are not returned. In a nutshell, never-ending legal challenges under human rights legislation, likely mostly vexatious claims like Ezedi, has caused the Home Office to do what France and otherEuropean countries do, which is to tell them to go home, pretend they're not there, and hope they'll go home of their own accord rather than try to exist in the UK on the black. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jun/22/nine-in-10-people-refused-asylum-in-2020-free-to-remain-in-uk-home-office

Problems like the 'Muslim turned Christian' who threw acid in a womans face the other week; problems like the Moroccan asylum seeker Islamic extremist who stabbed his flat mate 'because of Israel' and went out and killed a 70 year old on the street for the same reason. Problems like those in the pro-Palestinian protests calling for death to Jews and the destruction of Israel.

$2m dollars per person because there aren't that many of them any more. This is deterrence; it's making a system so unattractive that people don't try in the first place. The reason we get so many is because we're too soft. Countries that make a hostile environment avoid the problems that come with letting in undocumented migrants unvetted. Nobody wants them. France doesn't want them; Italy doesn't want them; Greece doesn't want them. They're not wanted anywhere. Every single person who crosses from France, a perfectly safe country, avoiding immigration to the UK is abusing international rules.

Seems a very concise thread title. A professional sub-editor would be hard pushed to do better. No doubt he was emboldened by the widespread anti-Israeli protests on UK streets.

Hopefully he'll be on a flight to Rwanda once he's out of prison.

Very kind, but there are definitely better options. 🙂

Happy anything, so long as it's not English, it appears.
