You literally said the policy was designed to stop the build up of non Western populations in certain areas.

Two points on the immigration topic:

1. If we successfully stop all ‘illegal migration’ via small boats, equating to around 40k a year, will Braverman, Farage et al just brush their hands and say “good job, problem solved, goodbye”? No, they won’t. I understand the perceived issue but pretending this is the sole intention of their direction of travel is disingenuous to say the least.

2. I’ve seen a lot of things around dependents. A lot of our ‘home-trained’ doctors are buggering off to Canada and Australia. If all of a sudden there was a policy passed that meant their family couldn’t join them, do you think they’d still go ahead? No. And it’s entirely possible they’d leave the profession altogether. Flip that to skilled workers coming into the UK - if we nominally decide that families are not invited, would we be confident enough to fill the required skills gaps in our economy? My money would be on ‘no’.

I saw a poll of young people and amongst young males (I think it was 18-24) Reform was polling around 60%!

It was a very small sample size though, probably smaller than your school poll!

Apparently it's something to do with TikTok where pro Reform stuff is apparently rife.

If it’s the one that The Sun ran as a story on it was done in a select number of schools. The type of school that’s about to start charging VAT.

I think the main issue with dependents was with regard to students. It was ridiculous but should’ve been resolved now

‘The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimated that net migration was 672,000 from June 2022 to June 2023. In the year ending September 2023, 152,980 visas were issued to dependants of students, a more than 930% rise from the 14,839 in the year ending September 2019’

The system was being abused and it’s this type of poor control which has let Reform back in the mix

Sounds wonderful


“Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: unlawful or arbitrary killings; torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the government; harsh and lifethreatening prison conditions; arbitrary detention; political prisoners or detainees; transnational repression against individuals located outside the country, including killings, kidnappings, and violence; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; serious restrictions on free expression and media, including threats of violence against journalists, unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists"

"Although Rwanda is a party to the UN Convention against Torture, unlawful detention and torture are rampant, particularly in unofficial detention facilities known as ‘safe houses.’ Human Rights Watch regularly receives credible information from former prisoners about torture and ill treatment in Rwandan prisons, including Nyarugenge (Mageragere) prison in Kigali, where some have said they are being held in isolation and beaten."

Yeah it's nonsensical. We want you to work in this vitally important job, but leave your wife and child at home.

I mean, Hamer would be beside himself for one!

"Why is is safe for the UN to send refugees to Rwanda but not the UK?"

Above is what you actually posted in quotation marks.

Could you post where the UN has said it is not safe to send refugees to the UK?

Like it or not, and this is going on throughout the world; the war in Ukraine has displaced a lot of people.

They need to be housed and everything else which goes with that.

No complaints from myself here.

You may not know this but all spoilt ballots get looked at and on occasion, a cock and balls has been deemed to be expressing a preference for one candidate over another and has been counted as a vote. Proof that it's dangerous to think with your dick.

aye, if you are drawing a cock and balls you need to make sure they won't be able to decide if it indicates a preference for a candidate

They are hardly all going to be homeless and poor are they?

Reminds me of when people wanted SISU out thinking Joy would go bankrupt because of CCFC.
