I’ll get on that, is it on the app or a dedicated channel? More importantly, do they show the games live? FSU and Alabama are two of my favourite teams. The ‘tomahawk chop’ is great and Florida was the first state in the USA that I’ve visited. As for Bama, Nick Saban is the GOAT and he’s...

I seen the result and got home from the Oxford game at the end of the 4th quarter but my stream was not having! I’ll watch the highlights of a few games later on but guessing from the memes, Manning did not do his namesake proud! 😂 I’ll check this out! My dodgy stick was not picking up the Fox...

Did their policies work? Yes. Did they meet international obligations? Yes. Did Australia become an international pariah? No. Does Australia have a trade agreement with the EU? Yes. People smuggling is an industry and they provide a service to their clients - they literally advertise on...

What rights would be removed if we scrapped the HRA? The Magna Carta and Bill of Rights (1689) are still active on the statute books. The ECHR foundations is English common law. The UK, unlike most European countries, has a good track record on Australia, Canada and NZ are proof of this...

This is evidence the Australian government submitted to our own parliament contradicts you. https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/18368/pdf/ 50,000 illegal migrants arrived by boats between 2008-2013, 1,200 deaths at sea. Operation Sovereign Borders has all but eliminated illegal...

Yes, it could’ve been appealed but it’s not obvious what would’ve been cited in its place or if the government would have won.

This is a hot mess. The Human Rights Act enshrines the ECHR and the judgements of the ECJ above UK law. Turkey, by comparison, hasn’t enshrined this in Turkish law. Turkey is actually an authoritarian regime that abuses human rights, including ethnic minorities as well as illegally occupying...

That’s because I’m not a legal expert. I don’t know what law(s) or previous judgements would be used to argue the case. You’ve missed the point going down this rabbit hole. The ruling is unpopular and gives Reform ammunition to support their policy of scrapping the ECHR. The judgement was...

Then us returning the constitutional settlement as it was in 1997 is hardly the same as North Korea or Russia. It’s pretty clear that this a big misconception when criticising plans to leave the ECHR. Which is a condition of EU membership so all candidate countries and EEA would seek...

How do you expect me to respond to this rambling nonsense? Go and have a cup of tea for goodness sake.

You’d fall back on English common law which has a much richer tradition of safeguarded civil liberties centuries before the ECHR was dreamt up.

Why do this stupid routine continually? Repealing the HRA brings us back to the state of Britain in 1997. The USA, Canada, Australia, NZ aren’t signed up to the ECHR. It’s not a problem that you disagree on policy. You’re a bad faith actor. If you think leaving the ECHR and repealing the HRA...

You’ve got the wrong end of the stick here actually. If the HRA and ECHR regime can be used to stop the boats, deport failed asylum seekers and so on, I’m all for remaining. These two pieces of legislation/conventions have caused problems for government policy back when Blair was PM. Who he...

The navy patrolling the English Channel and physically turning the boats around. If they scuttle the boats, send them back in lifeboats. Again, as soon as it becomes apparent that boats will be turned around and one will set foot in the UK… the market for crossing disappears. Hence the numbers...

Lol - is this a serious question? It was cited in the Home Office’s appeal and in the judgement. It’s a pyrrhic victory because it further confirms what many people are already thinking; it’s no longer fit for purpose and needs to be scrapped.

Actually, turning boats back to France is practical and you also need third country processing. The point here is you can’t let people come to the UK and remain. The system needs deterrence and as soon as people realise there’s a low % chance you’ll make it to UK territory, the boats will stop...

It’s another own goal for the ECHR. Another nail in the coffin.

This is true but the visas granted outnumbered the vacancies which tells you there’s abuse in the system that’s not being policed. What to do with people who were granted entry for a health and social care visa and are not in that field? If they’re in violation of their visa, deportation...

This is a straw man argument because Points 2 and 3 still feed into point 1. In fact, it’s irrelevant if their perceptions of how people got here if the gut feeling is that immigration is too high. Net migration was 50k pre-1997 pretty consistently. So 2000-2025 levels of migration is...

On immigration, there isn’t single policy polling and just about every question leads to the same answer: they want less of it. Hence, Reform are polling ahead of Labour. The only instances where this isn’t the case: - they’re well off - they pay more tax than they take out - they’re NHS...
