How are Labour doing after their first 12 months

Years ago if I went to Chatham, I would go through Rochester and then along the lower road. I don’t think this is an option anymore?
I had been to Curries up at Rochester airport when I ended up driving through it, so had come into Chatham from the M2. The signage, imo, was non-existent and I only realised my mistakes it was too late!
Yeah my lad lives in Rochester, so I always come via the airport route. Although I quite like where Rochester Station is now so sometimes go via train, nice and central, dependent on mood and weather really.

So either park at his or catch the train in.

I just avoid Chatham altogether. If I was to go there, I use to look for parking round by where the old Debenhams use to be in the High St - although as you turn in I would try the car parks on the left first, because it's more central, Primark'ish/Pentagon.

Then when leaving go back towards Rochester direction, avoid the road that drags right down to Brompton, because of those bus lanes. The layout might have changed, so I'm hesitant to say one way. I really haven't a clue anymore lol.

I’m going to Rochester tonight to a colleague’s leaving do. Haven’t been there for a while so looking forward to it. Generally get the train as it’s really convenient for the pubs on the high street.

Compared to none out ... unless bound for Rwanda at a cost per individual in excess of a trip into Space with Branson's rocket ... I'd say yes... particularly as they were immediately detained and get sent straight back...
You forgot the 40k were now offering failed asylum seekers who broke into the uk illegally to **** off

This is why you need to **** off abroad mate.

This country will always be weak and bend over to everyone. I couldn’t imagine for a second the Jamaican people or their authorities allowing the **** we put up with because of ‘human rights’ or fear of offending people.

I couldn’t imagine for a second Israel or any Muslim country would allow their countries culture and way of life to be changed the way ours has. I couldn’t imagine they’d allow people to scream at and wish death on their security forces because that’s their human rights.

It’s madness.
 
Usual cowards, rats in the darkness of the night. They'll be caught and going down for a very long time with arson. Property damage and threat to life, ie public and emergency services.
,
Sadiq Khan has also condemned it as a cowardly attack. My message to the cowards is you best enjoy your last moments with you mum, because police will be coming, they will be kicking down your front door and you will be going away for a very long time.

The only pain from this will be your loved ones, crying over you and you begging for leniency for which you will get none. So enjoy your last moments cowering in the corners of society, scum.
 
Some Iranian group has claimed to have carried out the Ambulances attack, police are aware but if I'm understanding it correctly they have not yet had any direct link to the group as proof, material they have shown is only of the aftermath.

Anti terror police on it anyway, so shouldn't be too long before we know.

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI) is a newly emerging, Iran-linked terror group that has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks targeting Jewish institutions in Europe.

Prison for those responsible and deport any family ties.

I know it wasn't the intent of your post, but it's long been said that the reason extreme parties continue to rise to positions of influence in Israel is because of the extent to which it modelled its political systems and judiciary on England's, but bizarrely opted for more of a Scandinavian electoral PR system, which makes total sense when you consider the similarities between Israel and Norway.

Anyway my point is: the UK's approach to political systems, the civil service and the judiciary is a recipe for disaster in the Middle East and most Muslim countries recognise this. Being biased, we wave this away and blame it on them being 'backward' or 'extreme', when the reality is closer to the attitude of most Spurs fans before we spent £60m on Richarlison:

We could see that it wouldn't work out well.

Only seeing attacks in one direction.

Not much of a civil war.

More like what it actually is: targeted attacks.
It's an attack on everyone.

When they set those ambulances alight, they were next to residential properties, it does not define the nationality or religion of the residents in their homes asleep.

People having to evacuate their homes in the earlier hours of the morning, adults and young children having to go outside for their own safety.

It's not just an attack on the ambulances it's a risk on life to the people that live there and I expect we'll find the police will treat it as such, as they compile their investigations and collect their statements.

Those responsible put those residents lives in jeopardy as well as the risk to the fire crews who had to put the fire out, using an accelerant in itself will be a criminal offence, to add to all the other charges they will face.

Whoever did this is going down for a very long time.

No, we don't. Because most people just want to get on with their lives. Unfortunately, however, there are people in all communities who want to see the world burn.

Which category are you in?

There’s about seven Jews for every Muslim on the terror watchlist alone so thankfully not.

Social media and even regular media give a very distorted view. There’s very much a real threat that the government is incapable of containing but your average Muslim bod on the street isn’t arsed about Jews enough to do anything bad and certainly isn’t arsed about poxy Gaza.

There’s about 280,000 Jews. Once you exclude the women, the old, the kids, the tragically weak and the inbred there’s like me and four of my mates left.

So we only get 1.8% of our oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz.

Interesting considering the price hikes we are expecting to go through.
 
This is a good video on the UK's energy usage, worth watching his summing up right at the end.

Conclusion, drill baby drilll... <laugh>

Crazy part of it all, while everyone is telling us to be more Green and save the planet, our world leaders are firing off rockets at one another and have probably wiped out any Green savings made over the last decade due to wars.

Actually managed to find a recent article on it...

War in the Middle East is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined.
