    I think France offered it as a solution, we turned it down. Even if not we have a half empty consulate in Calais, IIRC consulates have the same protections as embassy’s in that they’re classed as the sovereign territory of said country not the host country. So we could do processing there. It...

    The other problem with using Australia as an example of third country processing is that it fails in its core mission and this will sound familiar, it’s to bust the people smuggling gangs. Australia started third country processing in 2012, a mere 12 years later and they still haven’t bust the...

    Why don’t we do third country processing in France then? We can then give them safe passage to the UK should their application be successful and take them out of the hands of the gangs and out of small boats. We do share a land border with the ROI, it’s called Northern Ireland.

    I went to Copenhagen about 18 years ago to watch Northern Ireland vs Denmark in a European qualifier. Got on the train at the airport, got off at one of the city centre stations and behind it was all African shops and a lot of Africans mulling about. I was in Copenhagen previously to that for...

    Labour are pledging one fiscal event a year from memory. I think that’s exactly why industry backed them in that open letter saying exactly as you say, they can’t invest with confidence under the Tories.

    Apparently 75% last year. They’re also excluding other skilled workers from any “ban” list although they’ve provided no definitive list so best case scenario they’re going to cut immigration by 25%. A lot of people are going to have to leave the country to hit their net zero immigration pledge...

    It’s not just you, he fantasises about a lot of men ejaculating, taking a line up of sailors etc. He clearly has issues.

    General election poll

    I’ve been reading up a fair bit on the NI situation and there is one possible upset on the cards. DUP leader Gavin Robinson could lose his seat to Naomi Long, leader of the Alliance Party. DUP on a knife edge in a couple of other seats too but Robinson would be the big scalp.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    One problem. That was Trumps policy, the withdrawal began on Trumps watch by the time Biden took power there’s was only about a fifth of the US forces in Afghanistan as there was when Trump took over from Obama and the Taliban were already running riot. I ain’t saying Biden and us for that...

    I wonder if it’s a medical condition and a side effect of your face turning all gammony that sends you down a rabbit hole of lizard people they live type conspiracy theories.

    Just to state again the headline of net zero immigration doesn’t actually match the pledge. They’re talking about non essential immigration so skilled and essential immigration are not going to be effected. They also specifically single out healthcare workers as being essential. Social care is...

    No one won. It was a hung parliament. The election was in November and it’s took until last week to get an agreement to form a government, he’s entered into a coalition with three other parties. Let’s see how he does. He’s as equal a crackpot as Javier Melie in Argentina, it was barely 2 months...

    General election poll

    Difficult to call. Agree that it will be low turnout. The difficulty is polling, there’s an abnormally in Reform. The pollsters have to factor in the popularity of a new party at a GE with higher than usual support for a new party. You Gov actually changed their methodology a week or 2 ago and I...
