Yes, inflation is coming down, but COSTS are still increasing. For example, yesterday Rishi sold you a pie for £1. Today it’s £2 for the same pie (100% inflation), but tomorrow, when the pie costs £3, inflation has halved - so we should all celebrate - well done!! If on Thursday the pie costs £4 then inflation has halved again - definitely brilliant economics…..
The police actually had little recourse than to do as they did ... there is no law against climbing on memorials etc!!! BB with respect, you need to read the items ... not the media translation they published to increase the negativity of the article and thus the ability to keep it going and thus sell more print!
but there are public order offences likely to cause a breach of the peace or causing harassment, alarm or distress or chucking dispersal orders at the extremist scum. Everybody knows if it was working class lads or football fans doing this they are arrested. Turn up mob handed and climb on a temple or mosque batons and gas and dogs and horses are good. Good enough for us good enough for all, fair and equal policing for all.
So net migration has been revised to 745,000 !!!! No wonder people can't get any services (that we all pay for) when the population is increasing by the sum of a greater Bristol and a bit ! Shocking
And forecast even more the year. The Tories have been useless, wait till Sir Jacob comes knocking on my door, he'll get both barrels. And when Sir Keir's in charge...........
Could you do a cost based analysis as to how that tax will cover the challenges of unplanned population growth and the pressures on essential services, transportation, housing and healthcare? To cover this population growth it is inevitable our taxes will have to increase.
not a fan of of iacgmooh im a celeb! but last night I witnessed a very sour self opiniated person [ to do with migrants ] try to shout down Nigel Farage [ a marmite ] they wouldnt listen and when asked where she got their info from it was always " the internet " ... think it is 4 days in now? and already fallen out with 2 of the 10 " refuses to eat if one person in particular cooks ... so hopefully they will cook everything .. and that person could starve!!!.............. trouble is public will hopefully vote her to do the tasks at the expense of everyone starving to death............. beans and rice anyone ................
I watch it, it’s great. I love watching them struggle and argue. I’ve a massive phobia of snakes though, so it’s like a horror movie for me hiding my face when they are on the show.
Exactly what does this figure of 745,000 signify Angelic? Is it simply the number of people arriving in our country from elsewhere? 745,000 is a huge figure and understandably shocking. However, is our overall population set to increase by this number next year? Less people are being born here - more couples than ever before are deciding not to have children - and there are people moving overseas - and people are dying. When you say it’s ‘net’ migration are all those other factors being taken into account when quoting this frightening figure? Not a loaded question btw - just wondering. If our overall population is indeed increasing by that figure year on year then we are really in the sh1t - for logistical reasons trying to accommodate all those extra people year on year. However, if those people coming in are simply replacing those who have died, moved elsewhere or simply not been born then it’s LESS worrying - I say less, rather than not worrying at all, because it’s still a concern because those people will not have a true allegiance to the UK and that could lead to fundamental cultural changes plus changes in our politics and foreign policies.
Its not for me to comment on whether you are brain dead, I don’t even know you, let’s just say I’m sure some sensible people watch it too, it’s not for me I find those shows tedious.
I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon - or prize them out with cocktail sticks that had been marinated in ghost chilli - or watch 90 minutes of Bristol Rovers - than watch that utter drivel…..
It’s not a loaded question at all My understanding of it is that it’s the balance of those leaving the UK to settle elsewhere, minus those coming into the country legally such as when we offered to protect people from Hong Kong and Ukraine, or to work I.e care workers, or to study legally on student Visas I’ve no issue with us protecting genuine refugees as opposed to those who arrive here illegally because they don’t like their own country and want to game our benefits system But those studying which apparently make up over 200,000 can also bring their relatives with them (ridiculous) and after 5 years have elapsed they’re all allowed to stay I understand that we offer some of the best education opportunities in the world, and if foreign students study and then get meaningful jobs in the UK afterwards then they should be allowed to stay as they will more than pay their way in society But in my opinion, being allowed to bring along family members for the ride is a loophole that needs to be closed right now Yes our birth rate is falling, so a government, whoever that may be need to find a way to encourage people to have more children, and make child care more affordable I’ve been saying for ages that this country is fast becoming totally unrecognisable from the one I grew up in and it’s getting worse. I’m happy to have controlled migration but it’s got to be firmly controlled and carefully vetted, not the free for all we have currently Gross migration totalled 1.1 million, that’s the real total of arrivals. The population of Birmingham !
Wages in social care are deplorably low and linked to the minimum wage. Migrant labour is being used to keep costs and wages down thus helping to continue the righteous cycle of keeping working class care workers poor.
I watched this on Sky News last night and it amazed me: https://news.sky.com/video/migration-rise-what-do-the-numbers-tell-us-13014552 Now, everyone knows my views on Brexit - and please believe me this is not a dig or being sarcastic. According to this feature, the immigration numbers rocketed at the time of Brexit. As a remainer, I believed that Brexit would make absolutely no difference whatsoever to immigration levels, because the problems were people arriving from OUTSIDE the EU and all those who thought Brexit would ‘fix’ things were simply misguided. However, I would never have thought that numbers would INCREASE so significantly. I’m astonished. This can’t be a coincidence. The timeline is clear, but I still can’t understand how Brexit has caused such an influx.
Brexit has not cause the increase in immigration. Immigration figures have been rising since the 2000's. The UK's immigration surge started with Nu Labour and Blair, that surge continues to go upwards. Sweden in the EU has experienced immigration proportionally far higher than the UK, one fifth of what was vey recently a ethnically and culturally homogeneous country is now foreign-born.
the illegal immigrant market is such that it was bound to escalate helped and driven by the gangs making millions from it. When 1 gets here and gets to stay as "accepted" or "unregistered" and not sent home they communicate with family and friends on how to make the journey?? Unrelated but example, Australia has a massive problem caused by immigration!!!! ..... Rabbits! [ dont know if it is still as rife as the 80's 90's ] ... Not read any articles in depth but, as Angelic says.... Media tend to PUSH the headline power points of things without publishing to much of the basis of the reasoning [ if they did then the article would make sense you could see the reasons for and against and likely put you off reading similar items ]. Although Ashton is an anti IAC watcher, so derides what may happen/ is said .... the point is oneside of the argument [NF] has to tread on glass the otherside seems to be able to get away with anything? ROD the snakes they put in there are the most placid of all the types in AUSSIE.. they also get fed [ overfed] before their appearance and none are actually serious biters.... That Nella is going to get quite a few challenges as she is playing the game to win so causing "discomfort is her plan" viewers like controversy ... and they need a lot!!! as figures are well down on previous shows ... 2 million plus!
