Off Topic The Politics Thread

I agree about the women and children, Bob. It's women and children that have come from Ukraine, although legally of course, and most people are sympathetic.
Illegal immigrants are very often economic migrants. They believe they will have a better life in the UK. Some will work hard, some may be sucked into organised crime. Albanians and Vietnamese criminals go for the lucrative drugs trade here.
Yvette Cooper has a vital job to do. Fail, and it will boost Farage and Reform. Reform came second in nearly 100 constituencies. If Labour don't act on immigration, Reform will come first in many of them at the next GE. That's what's happening in Europe

 

Yes, it would be on a phone. We'd get a handle on who is in the country.

 

I'm in favour of ID cards

 

Ooh, common ground

 

Fortunately, or unfortunately for Reform, they would never get my vote due to immigration not being high enough up on my list of priorities.

 

Free phones! Excellent.

 

My Nan sends random articles about the Olympics to family WhatsApp groups at 3am and insists the phone is faulty and it’s not her doing it. Good luck with that.

 

It's definitely not her fault

 

****, it looks like it's Fish & Chips for dinner

 

Lucky you! A “fish supper”.

I expected that from Steels not you

 

He’s a bad influence.

 

A bad egg you mean?

Errrr? What you saying ya southern softie?

 

That's fair enough, although there is a rapidly increasing number of voters that don't feel as you do.

 

That's unfair, everyone is southern to you!

 

We have to replace the ones the poor souls drop over the side when our coastguard picks them up.

 

Especially that blooming kiwi geezer.
