worked so well we decided to do the same with schools 😂

Presumably you've been fully supportive when the likes of bin men, nurses, doctors, teachers, amazon workers, rail workers strike for better pay and conditions? Relatively speaking in a short space of time, at least in economic terms, we've seen huge technological advances which mean you need...

The question is not is it sustainable, its how do you turn the tap off without everything collapsing. Look at the reaction when there's a suggestion of an increase in minimum wage or working conditions. Its all 'the economy will collapse' but the impact of those sort of policies are a rounding...

A lot of employees are transient. Remove them or not if you're not letting new people in you end up in the same position, or well on the way towards it. We've already seen that with minor changes to entry requirements for students and care workers.

a third of universities are said to not have enough funds to be able to operate for 100 days and are classed as at risk. they are in that status because Sunak tightened the rules around student visas which caused a drop in numbers. if you completely turned off the tap you'd have a huge number...

Apart from a handful of loons I don't think there's actually many people in the country that want unlimited migration. But we have some fundamental issues. If we hit the stop button right now it wouldn't take long for things to unravel. Just off the top of my head: Universities are struggling...

I love that we had years of Clive is shit, bring back Rob We got back Rob and decided he was shit Now Clive has gone we've decided he wasn't shit 😂 😂 😂

So if you're letting tourists and students in how are you preventing overstays? Seems to me you'd be reducing legal migration but seeing a huge increase in illegal migration which by definition are people you don't know are here and haven't passed any checks.

I think if you look at the people involved you would rate the chances of them 'failing', however you measure that in a government, if they ever came to power. Farage and co are very good at pointing the finger of blame and coming up with snappy slogans to match but the track record on actually...

yep

Not sure I'm understanding what you want. You've said let zero people in but tourists and students are fine? How do you make sure they leave the country? My next question was going to be how do we stop services collapsing? We made a small change to visas for care workers and within a matter of...

All I want is to be able to get a cuppa at half time when its freezing cold but in the West Stand that requires you to miss about 15 minutes of the second half.

The museum at Hiroshima is, as you'd expect, incredibly moving and horrifying.

Seems the tone of reporting is very much changing.

think they were more than rumours as it came from the creator / writer of the show. no idea why but there seemed to be no interest from the BBC. with all the crap that gets revived you'd think they'd jump at the chance for more of a massive show like that. the American version is an interesting...

The pay and conditions immigrant workers put up with simply would not be accept by British workers. Companies won't take a cut to their profits, look at the uproar every time minimum wage increases or there is the slightest increase in workers right, so you have to work out how you deal with...

It should be possible to make the initial decision much quicker but even with the current process there's a huge shortage of qualified staff, this results in a large amount of wrong decisions, 48% of which get overturned at appeal. It's the appeals process that takes forever as it's long and...

Just catching up on the posts in here from last night, see it was another perfectly normal discussion. Seems to me its very difficult to have a discussion on this when figures and laws are just dismissed out of hand. There's a survey today on YouGov that highlights similar issues...

Cracking start to the Metro Bank, 137 all out
