Surprised any one one the left supports SAFC now since we are owned by a trust fund billionaire and if not mistaken the main company thay owns us is registered offshore in a tax haven.

The parent company Mercator is majority owned by a Swiss resident, not a UK politician trying to pretend him and his mates are "one of the people"

Massive difference there :)

Massive.

Stop telling the truth it hurts.
Have you seen Daz post above? Care to explain what I've missed?

So the question should be, why are they travelling through multiple SAFE countries, unless the EU is not safe. Is it because the UK is too soft and willing to take money away for it's own people who need it and give it to all and sundry.
Also what is the point of a passport if according to you any one can just walk into any country they like.
They are illegal immigrants who want to come to the UK and try to claim asylum. Let's be honest they are economic migrants not refugees. Listen mate, I don't want hundreds of thousands of people coming into our country as much as you, but if you think Toad Face is going to stop it you are going to be sadly disappointed.

As generally a Labour supporter, I would thought Starmer would have the knowledge and ability ie human rights lawyer and DPP, obviously bright to come from his origins.... to sort out the repatriation of illegals.
The fact that the 'smash the gangs' and paying the French loads of money has not worked.

I am sure his ineffectivenesa on this issue is what drives a lot of the ridicule of him

From what I’ve read there’s significant progress being made …

… not reported much I admit, so people believe nothing’s happening.

So you think the government would somehow benefit from loads of people working on the black and paying no tax …

… fair enough, you seem to believe you know what’s actually happening so I’ll leave it there.
 
A revelation from the Non workers party.
The man who is now work and pensions secretary described conversations he had with other Labour politicians about the welfare system and public spending in a pretty blunt way.

"Every meeting I have is 'who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others'," Pat McFadden wrote to Lord Mandelson in May 2025.

Why has the black market not been stopped, it suits agendas of certain groups same as sending 50% to university or lowering voting age to 16, or in Scotland allowing people who are not British citizens and only on short-term visas to stand for parliament.
