Change citizenship laws? Being born in France doesn’t allow you to claim French citizenship on the basis of being born there. Japan almost never grants citizenship to foreigners. On the contrary, given how liberal Ireland’s citizenship laws are… most people on this forum probably could get...

Is Denmark an authoritarian regime? That would be quite the admission give your admiration on their other public policy stances.

How is it unlikely? Australia implemented Operation Sovereign Borders and the amount of ‘irregular’ small crossings has been 0 since 2013. According to Dominic Cummings, the Royal Navy reckoned its ‘operationally easy’ to implement a turn back policy. The only ‘political’ issues would be if the...

It’s sarcastic because people like Darren Jones goes on BBC QT to trot out the line that small boat crossings are full of ‘women and children’. The vast majority are law abiding. But are they economically productive? There are some nationalities of migrants where 30-40% of them end up on...

With respect Pete, this is drivel. Wherever data is collected, migrants from the Middle East and Africa are always overrepresented in crime statistics and welfare dependency. It’s not the ‘right wing press’, it’s the BBC reporting this on a daily basis. Who, btw, were found to be...

It’s not just boat crossings. After the ‘relief’ that the Huntingdon train criminal was UK-born actually reveals something much deeper and potentially worse. Look at the major terrorist events on recent years; from 7/7, Lee Rigby, Arianna Grande concert to Axel Rudakubana… the majority of these...

It is Pete. Actually enforce the border and VISA conditions. The Tories and now Labour do not have the political will to fix the issue and this is why they are both facing extinction level events. There was a whistleblower in the Telegraph last week who claimed she was warned when rejecting an...

@chiefdave spoke about the need for ‘integration’ without considering the willingness of some groups to ‘integrate’ and whether or not there are any cultural differences that may be irreconcilable. It’s the same naive thinking that lead us into disastrous conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The...

Immigration is the issue that’ll sweep away the Tories and Labour. Serves them right, it was entirely avoidable.

Hitting 50 points from home games is the magic number. Only Leeds in 23/24 hit 50+ points and did not get automatics, the only season in recent years where 3 teams hit 50+ points at home. In recent years, the only season where the two automatically promoted team did not reach 50 home points was...

What do we even need 5 players for? The only teams bringing that many players in Jan are generally desperate. Sends all the wrong messages to the existing squad and that’s before integrating players. 2 players would be ideal, 3 would great. Right now, we definitely need one winger as a bare...

EMC is a quality player and when he’s not played, we’ve missed his directness on the ball, even when he isn’t playing particularly well individually. Fair play to Sakamoto too, both our wingers have stepped things up a notch and chipped in with important goals in recent games.

Well, the team was only behind Leeds and Burnley last season after Xmas. A marginal improvement on that over 46 is pushing automatic promotion. Cards on the table: I don’t believe we’ll win the league. Ipswich are still favourites in my eyes and thankfully? We play them twice in December and...

The only spanner in the works is Ipswich being on the Saturday beforehand. Two long away days consecutively is knackering. I’ll be going to PNE but not yet decided if I’m taking any time off for it just yet.

A win at Deepdale will truly be a ‘where were you’ moment…

Does anyone else feel like this is a repeat of the 19/20 league winning season? The season it felt like we’d beat everyone home and away after we got going. WBA and Boro are two tough teams but I just think we’ll beat them both. In fact, to run the risk of being called delusional, this is the...

Dived on the ball after a slight spill iirc, but I’m yet to rewatch the highlights!

That’s a valid concern it’s fair to say most, if not all Prem-Champ clubs are too big to fail. The clubs most likely to fail are teams in L1 and below where FFP is largely out of scope. FFP won’t stop clubs going bust, at best it’s a road bump. What has done is ring fence the financial...

I’m the opposite, let things be the Wild West again. If Newcastle want to spend £1bn in a single window, let them crack on. All it’s done is consolidate the Top 4-6 teams and Man City have got there and essentially pulled the ladder up. Salary caps would most likely see clubs give out huge...

That almost definitely isn’t true because legal action against King would’ve been taken. People haven’t lost trust in King at all, his employees like Dr Roberts and Austin got dogs abuse online that King called out publicly. Frankly, most fans just didn’t want or couldn’t accept that things...
