So the government wouldn’t have been able to challenge and overturn this decision if we left the ECHR?

I’m sorry, what does this decision have to do with the ECHR?

The judges have ruled! https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-wins-bid-overturn-injunction-remove-asylum-seekers-hotel-2025-08-29/ Well that settles that then

Is frequently targeting users over their sobriety back on the menu?

No country “has to” take more migrants, but they do have to accept the economic and political realities of their choices. Choosing to allow fewer migrants than we currently do comes with its own costs and implications, not all of which are being acknowledged. You can obviously say the same for...

If it was genuinely true that “safe routes for migrants” in reality meant “wave all migrants through with minimal checks” then I would agree with you that safe routes are a bad thing. But it’s not true, is it?

Honestly, I laugh every time.

Who’s arguing in bad faith now?

Wouldn’t the theory be that by providing a safe route you reduce the need for migrants to rely on human traffickers, and instead funnel people through routes where they can be properly processed and screened? Would seem to be a decent way to tackle illegal migration on paper. Yes it would...

If this is true, then why would Hull sell?

I just don’t think he is naturally the kind of ruthless, aggressive person that his physique suggests he should be. I know it’s tempting to say he could be a top player if he could somehow overturn that but I don’t think it’s the kind of thing that can be taught, he is who he is at this point...

That must have been an incredibly difficult few months for him. But at least he went out in the way that most of us would choose to go.

I don’t hate your flag Dom, I think you should be able to fly the Polish flag wherever you want in this country

Still showing up for me…

Readership data suggests otherwise

Again - I’m saying flags have whatever meaning people want them to have. People don’t find the British flag inherently offensive, or intimidating; they’re intimidated by the people choosing to wave it in the name of nativism. You say “a national’s own flag should never be seen as an act of...

No, it’s an acknowledgement that flags generally mean whatever you want them to mean. Personally I don’t think they hold any magical secrets to national identity, but clearly for the people running around tying them to lampposts they mean something else entirely.

Well if the accompanying suggestion is that England is just for English people then clearly it’s not exactly a warm welcome for these people is it?

If you genuinely can’t think of a scenario where a foreigner living here could be intimidated by people weaponising our national flag then I think that shows a lack of imagination more than anything. Btw who said you have to “revere the flag”? It’s a flag ffs! There are a thousand things I’d...

You won’t get a straight yes or no on the Palestinian flag, the Israeli flag, or the British flag - it depends entirely on the context. You can try to pretend otherwise but it’s true. Can I fly a CCFC flag in public or does that get in the way of your flag rules?
