When I refer to miniscule numbers I'm referring to the fact that when Australia first implemented this it was after a peak in boats of 278 back in 2012. The policy was introduced in 2013 and up to 2021 a grand total of 38 boats had been stopped. From 2000 to 2019 1,720 asylum seekers bound for...

Turning the boats round would be great, how are we going to do that? How many boats are Australia turning round, the numbers I can find are miniscule and would make little dent into the problem here. We also don't have conveniently located third country to send the boats to so where would they...

Looking at what the judges said its common sense tbh, although it won't be taken like that. The thing I hadn't realised from the way it was originally reported is that it was only to leave the hotel temporarily for a few weeks, which does seem a waste of time & money. Interesting that the...

My personal experience of care homes is pretty much limited to the one my Dad is in. I know that in the years he has been in it has never once been fully staffed, as one point (when the visa rules were temporarily tightened) they had so much trouble finding staff they got put into special...

We have thousands of vacancies in the health and social care sector. I think pretty much everyone in the country would be happy if the currently unemployed Brits took up those roles but that never seems to happen. If you have essential roles that you can't fill what other option is there than...

We already have a selective process for legal migration, a process which some would argue is too tight. The care system, as an example, nearly collapsed when the rules were tightened. As one example I have a friend who works in the banking sector in London, her husband is a skilled worker, a...

First pre-season game tonight. Great season last year under the new coach so hoping for more of the same

I'm not trying to be a dick, I genuinely want to understand what you're proposing. If you're saying to stop letting certain people in on the basis that there may be a small percentage risk of them being a rapist how are you applying that. Because as far as I can see unless you're letting nobody...

I have, its says 'Quite frankly one rapist is already too much'. So how are you 100% guaranteeing immigrants from certain countries aren't going to commit horrific crimes?

what's wrong with it?

We were told this was political genius and we just had to wait until they'd cruised to victory to see a tidal wave of radical policies that would transform the country.

Just so I'm clear is your suggestion zero immigrants, be they economic immigrants, refugees, family reunions or any other type, because there is a possibility, no matter how small they might be a rapist? How are you stopping holiday overstays, or are tourists out as well?

Terrible news. RIP Malc

not sure there's much to disagree with there. Makes sense to stop cars and taxis using Judds Lane as a pick up and drop off point. Just blocks the road when you've got hundreds of vehicles queuing to leave.

a hotel would be no fixed address wouldn't it or were they in dispersal housing?

and then got the hump with anyone who pointed out his basic mistakes

fair play to Doug. get loads of rumours in the press about everyone leaving so when we don't sign anyone he can claim it was a great window because nobody left!

that's the company that everyone got automatically moved to when other companies went bust I think, certainly what happened to my parents

Remember the shit show when we wanted to put flags on the roundabout flagpoles? Still nothing on them. Mentioned before there's loads of houses round here that still have the flagpoles that were seemingly on every house when they were built. You see all sorts of flags flying, Union flags, St...

I'm not sure the forum as a whole is that far out of line, just a handful of people on either side who post a million times a day. As for the polls while they give you a strong indication of the general feeling of the country the same polling shows that people are massively overestimating the...
