    Not cherry picking at all. You’re the one doing that. Your post confirms exactly the point I was making. That when people talk about wanting to copy the danish immigration system what they really mean is pick the parts of it that align with their preferences and ditch the parts that don’t.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My suspicion is that when people talk about a danish system what they actually mean is cherry picking the bit they agree with. I struggle to believe that if we mirrored their system and worked to ensure migrant families weren’t clustered together in certain areas people would be nodding in...

    24 Hours in Police Custody

    The kabbadi thing was mental as well. They never really explained why it all kicked off and it was way beyond someone having an argument and a bit of a punch up. The second story was so sad. Why the fuck did they have the old fella locked up for months, not like he was going to go on a crime...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    As bad as the actual arrests themselves are I find the way they conduct them deeply concerning. People who are not in uniform, often with face coverings or even balaclavas, turn up to public places, grab people, won’t tell friends, family or legal professionals where they are being taken or...

    That was insane. Just a regular residential street in the middle of the day

    Is this both genuine and not missing context? Surely can’t be suggest anyone who happens to be Pakistani is removed from the country?

    Suspect if you did a map of obesity levels you may find a similar pattern.

    Moving House

    There's a handful gone up by my Mum recently. Usually go instantly but at the moment they seem to be struggling to even get viewings. Guess the market is slow for whatever reason and people don't want to drop below what they've been given as a valuation or what other properties have sold for.

    Starting to wonder if this will open in my lifetime. How are we so bad at infrastructure.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Think its important not to group all victims together as they are not all of the same opinion. There is certainly a group that want another inquiry, and as they have some political figures involved who receive a lot of media coverage this message is possibly getting a disproportionate level of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is the data from the original report The Casey report then tries to factor in unrecorded ethnicity So essentially we're back to what Casey said yesterday which is, despite numerous reports saying a change is needed, the data on ethnicity is very poor. This is my concern with another...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Great in theory but Starmer is parroting the same line while the UK supplies weapons, trains troops and is now sending out armed forces to the area.

    Which report, as the only reference I can find to it is an old Telegraph article which makes a fair few assumptions to arrive at that figure

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Can't be arsed to go back and find it now but there was a post earlier that pretty much implied the problem was all down to 'boat people'. Another concern I have is that if we focus too closely on one group we're going to end up giving other groups an easy time as the spotlight will be off them...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Def worth a watch. Got through the whole series when I had a weekend and couple of days off work laid up on the sofa ill. One of those shows that may well improve in series 2 now the chemistry is established and the characters are more familiar.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just says 'a person' so I'd say not. IMO opinion we need to stop fucking around with enquiries and reports and talking about changing the law and start arresting people and locking them up.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's not how I am reading the law: That seems pretty clear to me, if guidelines are being published with incorrect information and / or applied incorrectly that's a much easier fix than changing the law. That can be implemented today. Lets not overcomplicate things. If we're changing the law...
