Was just looking up something else and stumped across the fact that Britania takes on ex-cons as staff as part of another governement scheme where their wages are covered. Obviously everyone deserves a second chance but putting people fresh out of prison into hotels full of refugees seems like...

The one in Warwick is what was the Marriot isn't it, the junction of the A46 / M40? If I'm correct then I smell a scam. The hotel is being downgraded to a lower tier, what are the odds they've taken a government contract for just enough time to mean that the taxpayer will be on the hook for the...

We shut down most legal routes, the number of people being smuggled in vans and lorries went through the roof We clamped down on van and lorry smuggling and boat crossings went through the roof Not sure that a clamp down on boat crossings is going to mean asylum seekers just giving up and not...

Just to point out if meals are being provided their total entitlement is £9.95 a week which hardly seems like enough to live a life of luxury. If meals aren't provided they get £49.18. Obviously people awaiting their asylum application being processed are not allowed to work, another reason we...

I know we sometimes campaign for prisoners from countries where its perceived prison conditions are poor to serve their sentence in a UK prison but does that happen as a matter of routine for Brits locked up in places like France, Spain etc? We can't really be demanding everyone else takes...

What a game, what a series! India should have been way ahead after the first couple of games but equally there's no way we should have lost this game from the position we were in. So many moments you can look back at that not only potentially changed games but the entire series.

This is potentially Woakes last England appearance. 36 and with a serious injury thats going to keep him out for months you've got to wonder.

missed the stumps, unbelievable stuff

might just copy and paste this for every delivery

Fucking hell

He's done the same move several times in both games but got away with it. If he keeps doing the same thing it will happen again. You'd think that's something that's pretty easily solved by the coaching staff just saying if in doubt whack it but not sure anyone has much confidence in the...

not many English supporters by the sound of things! this is going to be harder work than it should be isn't it?

This is the issue they need to sort. The big 3 seem happy to just endlessly play each other and have no regard for the other teams but we need as many test sides as possible playing at a high level. We seem to be content that no matter what we sell tickets in this country but that's not going...

you want to assume the medical team know what they're doing but seeing him in his whites ready to come out and bat with his arm in a sling was slightly worrying. when its a serious enough injury they're talking about him missing the winter tour you have to hope they're pretty certain he won't...

Just so I'm clear the proposal is that anyone who requests asylum that doesn't have a passport or visa is immediately removed from the country? Through what process and where to doesn't seem to have been mentioned. The only thing I can think of that comes close to allowing that is the Dublin...

Weird one, barely a tackle and zero contact. Didn't seem to be a weird turn or anything but he knew immediately he was in big trouble. You could tell by the other players reaction as well. Hopefully turns out to not be as bad as feared.

another driving one. when was it suddenly decided that at mini roundabouts cars coming from your left have priority? I assume its changed because multiple times last week I had people giving me absue when they pulled out and nearly crashed into me.

Do you know where the source data is for this as the website listed as the source doesn't seem to have it and it doesn't seem to match any government or cps statistics. Closet thing I can find is this which is ethnicity not nationality:

Good idea, maybe we should implement that. To all intents and purposes the UK has closed all safe and legal routes for asylum seekers hence the explosion in the number of people in small boats. They haven't all decided it's good fun to pay and risk their lives rather than pop over on the ferry...
