    Is Suella Braverman right to say Pakistani men's cultural values are "totally at odds" with British values, or is she being 'racist'?

    Rotherham, Batley, Newcastle, Telford, Rochdale, Bradford, Leeds. Keighley and Slough. These are just some of the Labour Councils that abandoned vulnerable young girls in order to secure the votes of the Muslim population. They were failed by Jess. They were failed by Labour?

    Home Office have sent me letters for her today. Both vulnerable British girls exploited by grooming gangs. Both from Tory council areas, both distressed by her lack of action. I'll publish her response.

    Imagine how much control they could have of their borders if they were an island.

    In what must be a tribute to Lawson the government halves the amount of cash it promised to invest in the social care workforce. You know, the workforce we need to both stop people going into hospital and to get them out as quickly as possible.

    Lawson, whose dream was totally unregulated markets and no public spending or taxes at all, would approve as a first step.

    They are going to put a halt to it somehow
    Picking up people in dingys and returning them straight away to France rather than dover might help an island

    I’m sure they can find something far more worthy to spend it on……..A new yacht for Baroness Mone perhaps ?

    So, let’s get this entirely clear.

    You cannot legally travel to the U.K. to claim asylum. You cannot claim asylum in the U.K from abroad*. So therefore your only option is to enter the U.K. illegally and claim asylum once you are here. And given that the vast majority of those who take this route are (eventually) granted asylum it would seem the sensible thing to do, apart from the risk of drowning.


    * unless you are a Hong Kong BNO passport holder, a Ukrainian with a private and vetted sponsor in the U.K. or one of a small number of Afghans agreed to be at risk and can persuade the Taliban to let you leave the country legally after filling in the U.K. government forms. Seems I know more about this **** than Robert Generic.

    The following was posted on a Whatsapp group the other day by one on my supposed friends....

    Read this and then pass it on to everyone you know..

    In 2003 the Labour party was taken to court by a lefty lawyer who demanded illegal immigrants get benefits. He won the case and this laid the ground for today's scandal of hotels and benefits for illegal immigrants. The lefty lawyer who won the case was....

    KEIR STARMER

    I've corrected some of the grammatical errors, but the factual errors remain - the most obvious one being that illegal immigrants don't qualify for benefits. Asylum seekers do of course, but the implicit suggestion that people would risk their lives crossing the Channel for the promise of £45 a week seems ludicrous to me. The fact that they are accommodated in hotels for long periods is a symptom of the failure of the Home Office to process asylum applications in an efficient manner.

    I don't know the original source of the Whatsapp meme, but it suggests that this will be one of the topics that the Tories will seek to fight the next election on, even though the failures are all their own. If I was Starmer, I would offer two solutions - (1) allow asylum applications to be made from abroad so that crossing the Channel isn't necessary, and (2) allow asylum seekers who are already in the UK to work while they are awaiting a decision, mitigating the need for benefits and accommodation to be provided.

    Scotland……..a country where they’ve given the right to 16 years to vote……but at the same time say young peoples brains “aren’t developed” until their late 20’s, thus allowing a 21 year old to be given community service for raping a child.

    True ****ing madness

    Sir Keir Starmer has said 99.9% of women do not have a penis, as he seeks to clarify his position on biological sex.


    so according to kier nearly 4 million women have a penis


    3,904,727,342

    Gender ratio in the World
    As of 2021, There are 3,970,238,390 or 3,970 million or 3.97 billion males in the world, representing 50.42% of the world population. The population of females in the world is estimated at 3,904,727,342 or 3,905 million or 3.905 billion, representing 49.58% of the world population.

    This is very much in the hands of NATO to either play down or escalate. Putin will be watching as to what is deployed.in the country.

    Spent a lot of time in Helsinki and Oulu, so have a lot of time for the Finns who have lived in the shadow of Russia for many years. This will hopefully give them the reassurance they need that Wagner and co won't come.pouring over the border any time soon
