Does anyone on here dabble in triathlons? I’m considering getting into the sport after trying a ‘sprint’ event last week on holiday. I finished 2nd to last, only finishing above a 77 year old veteran who smoked me in the swimming leg! 😂 My swimming was genuinely terrible.

Swansea signed Angel Rangel from a semi-pro team.

We’ve got Blackburn at home according to a ‘leak’ on social media. It probably isn’t credible.

The bureaucrat who came up with the acronym knew exactly what they were doing naming it FATCA… 😂

Yes, Denmark had v similar issues, made changes to their immigration system and it’s removed anxiety of the public over migration and it’s nullified their ‘far right’. Frankly, yes. I’m glad you use a healthcare worker as an example because the health and social care worker visa route has...

EEA migrants, yes. Non-EEA migrants, no. This pattern is repeated by all EU countries that monitor this (such as Denmark and the Netherlands). Why is it unreasonable? If you’re a net drain on the exchequer, the British taxpayer shouldn’t be paying for you. The public benefit test takes place...

What you’re describing is how Denmark allocates social housing which is actually a different policy area to immigration and asylum policies. With respect, you have conflated the two to turn around and say people making reasonable suggests are ‘cherry picking’. Your ‘all in or nothing’ approach...

With respect, you’re cherry picking. When discussing Denmark’s system, you only spoke about how their government funds housing for migrants to live in Danish areas. We agree that this isn’t feasible or desirable in the UK context. Why? The UK’s net migration figure 1997-2024 is in the...

In theory, that’s how the system works currently. Your visa can be cancelled if you no longer meet the conditions. In practice, this isn’t working as intended because we have issued way more health & social care visas than roles filled. In Denmark, non-Danish citizens are barred from all...

A Danish style approach to immigration, asylum and integration. In short, if you’re a criminal or not an economically productive migrant, deportation. If the HRA and ECHR prevent this, amending/repeal legislation. This stuff is not ‘far right’, not only is it in line with majority public...

Why did the police, local council, social services and schools not do their job properly? You mention underfunding when the report doesn’t mention this and specifically focuses on ethnicity as the motivation for why perpetrators acted as they did and why the authorities did not act in the face...

Frankly, everyone should be jumping on this irrespective of political leanings. The framing of this as a ‘left v right’ issue is plainly stupid. The Ministry of Justice recently released data that showed 26% of sexual assault convictions were foreign born, overrepresented in the statistics...

This is a dishonest take. The report did not find that white grooming gangs were widespread and certainly did not find that the authorities were hesitant to prosecute suspects because there were concerns over being labelled racist and raising community tensions. That means that the authorities...

No one denies that the existence of grooming gangs of other ethnicities. You have one group representing 4% of the population committing 62% of CSE crimes and 64% of all suspects in Rotherham. That’s clearly a problem you cannot ignore or even obfuscate.

That’s a moot point for start because a lot of the recommendations are about closing loopholes and sharing data between agencies. Nonetheless, there are actually 2 recommendations pertaining to ethnic identity. Recommendation 4 is collecting data on suspects and R10 is commissioning research...

Which begs the question why Keir Starmer and top Labour grandees dismissed the issue as ‘far right dog whistling’… Had the government took up a national inquiry from Day 1, they could’ve made the Tories look v silly for not getting a grip on the issue. Yet, the government voted down the motion...

That’s literally the basis of the report… 😂

I’ve made it clear in previous posts that I’m in favour of having a Denmark style policy where all non-UK residents have a public benefit test is just sensible. As a country, we want the best, highest calibre people coming to the country. Anyone who is not self-sufficient or cannot speak...

Yes, the priorities are clear. If the police weren’t afraid of going after ethnic minorities for crimes in the first place, there wouldn’t be a scandal as such. It’s the fact that the authorities knew what was going on but decided not to act and to then deny there was any issues altogether...

Do you have data on numbers and % of criminals deported? As things stand The number of people awaiting deportation has gone up 4.7k in 3 years. It’s an ever growing list which suggests the rules aren’t working as intended. It’s one thing issuing someone with deportation orders, it’s another...
