UK X: Who Wants To Live Forever

[Lebowski]

this guys mental!!!

It's about time they doing something about the immigrants. With our economy now people are struggling to put food on the table to eat up there houses.

Have things got that bad that people are eating houses wow!! not sure why its the immigrants fault though, their not profiteering off the crisis in our utilities, or the reason we're so reliant on the market price for gas.

We've got immigrants that we can't find but I own countrymen.

he owns countrymen? I'm picturing some poor old sod in a flat Cap being kept in a shed and being forced to go out and search for immigrants.

Pretty mad to think that we got here via the Tories panicking over Farage, a man so utterly shipwrecked at this stage that he spends half the day recording Cameo “Big Chungus is coming” videos for teenagers as a kind of ironic joke.

That's the great smoke and mirror act too. That so much focus goes on the boat crossing numbers compared to the staggeringly larger unprocessed number that the Tories are much less keen to discuss. If they sorted out the latter it would more than mitigate the former from a numbers perspective but they can't do that because the Tories are literally inept at every facet of government.

I just felt this warranted a requote.

So Tories are going to fight that 'Stop The Boats' even though it's legally doomed to fail. The gambit clearly is to inflame the Daily Mail reader, but who can they blame when they get blocked? Europe again. And the UN. Says Braverman to Starmer, "He doesn't even want to stop the boats!" She said this, with words, from her own mouth. The state of politics in this country...

[wakka]

We should send the cabinet to Rwanda. Ideally in a very small boat.

Braverman denies small boats plan breaks law after being asked about Mo Farah | Suella Braverman | The Guardian
Braverman already doesn't know how her new law works or more likely doesn't want to offer up the obvious answer that would shoot down its popularity

[QualityChimp]

On the news they were discussing about how this new plan has been worded and is careful not specify that it's not backed up by law.

It makes me wonder if she knows that it'll never pass, but it looks like they're trying to stop the boats, but those "Lefty lawyers" are stopping it from happening.

I then wonder if they can think that many moves ahead and just say stuff to look tough/competent.

I notice that Gary Lineker is going to be "spoken to" by the BBC for daring to question Cruella's boat smasher plan in his own personal Twitter feed.

The BBC can't have an employee question the government, they have to all march in step.
Thing is, he's not wrong, the Nuremburg Laws prohibited access to Germany except for 'official channels', at which point you were put into a concentration camp for processing and Jews were shipped to specific locations. This was just before Germany went full crazy. Doesn't sound too dissimilar does it...

"What's happening again, detail to me step by step how it works and how best to implement it..."

[Asura]

This sounds weird, but I wanted to ask here as I'm not sure I'd get a good answer in some places, and I'm pretty busy right now so can't just look it up.

How do other countries deal with migrants, and how does the UK compare? For instance, how do Agentina, Japan, Spain, Tajikistan work? Are our rules more favourable than the global average, or less?

[Neon Ignition]

Purely from googling I took a glance focusing on water surrounded countries like ours:

Cyprus: Looks like it's not coping, massive influx with the main difference being that migrants aren't planning to stay there rather using it as a gateway to get into Europe

Iceland: By being very open for legal migration which has boosted its economy massively

Malta: Sounds scarily like where we're headed to with human rights groups campaigning because they keep not sending rescue boats out to drowning water crossers

Japan: Also seems to be trying to push through hardline policies on immigration due to the volume of detained illegal immigrants


There's a loads of others but essentially the 'bigger name' countries seem to be circling similar approaches which is interesting as none of them have found success with them so there's no real evidence it would work.

Suella Braverman calls Gary Lineker asylum remarks ‘unhelpful’ (msn.com)
Bet your ass they're unhelpful... didn't say they were wrong though!

Yeah, lets demonise the football man...
