    That'll save the tax payer a few pennies.

    Probably, I quite often see them mentioned in the local rag regarding various stories to do with the KCC.

    Can never be arsed to read them though. Think it always use to be Tory for a very long time. Although I'm sure I remember KCC being bust before Reform got anywhere near it.

    Just googled it, Conservatives held a KCC majority for 30 years until they were booted out in 2025.

    So, so far, the Reform led council have taken down loads of England flags and now stopped 50 immigrants from leaving. I'm sure the universe runs on irony.

    KCC would have had nothing to do with Immigration control or the NCA, they would receive funding for support services ie refugee kids etc. No idea on the flags.

    After the two National Guard were shot up yesterday in America, Trump has ordered a reassessment of all Afghan refugees. Although whether that is even possible because the journo said that would be absolute thousands of them.

    Don't know if you've read it, but the shooter apparently worked with the CIA in Afghanistan and was part of an elite Afghan unit that assisted / protected the US evacuation of Kabul ... something more to all this methinks ...

    According to Reuters they allowed 70,000 Afghans in, so good luck with their revetting procedures lol

    I heard he's got a family and traveled across several states to carry out this shooting.

    So it must have been an act aimed directly at Trump - especially as only the previous night I saw the president boasting on TV how safe he had made Washington DC.

    Makes me wonder if the shooter saw that same televised rant.

    Yep and a grand job they appear to doing. Reported that they already have a £46m funding gap and they have just handed a 21 year contract to a company called Ringway for road repairs etc.

    Well he's currently saying he was let in by Biden in '21 when actually it was April this year, and the CIA admit he's one of theirs.
    Martial law incoming?

    I didn't know anything about when the guy came in, not something that crossed my mind, Trump blames Biden for everything. Although I had assumed he had been living in the States for a while when they mentioned on the news he had a family etc and had travelled across several states.

    I originally thought probably some local Washington lowlife had gone out and shot the guards at first, because of what Trump said on TV, I never even gave it a thought it might be a refugee that did it.

    It's not a good look though if as you say he has come in recently, talking about biting the hand that feeds you, and now Trump will be an arsehole and put all Afghans through the mill.

    Martial law incoming, I wouldn't put anything past the ability of Trump, although if he does it means he is completely contradicting himself on what he said on TV regarding Washington DC - and yeah he's ordered 500 troopers or whatever they are called, getting ready for his forthcoming dictatorship Putin style.

    I'm kinda looking forward to the court case as I'm pretty sure the constitution gives the shooter the right to do what he did, it's what the 'right to bear arms' is all about.

    I must be missing part of this story, what gives him the right to do what he did?
