You know what, I'm not even going to lambast someone using Brian moores account, or find that graph...

Im just going to enjoy it for a while, because it's enjoyable hahaha

But you know that 'another country' means Benidorm or Australia.

As long as they can get a full English and a Sunday roast.

So the logic is, they don't want immigrants in this country, but most want to be immigrants in another country?

Centre 'being used as emergency accommodation for immigrants' on fire https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...tml?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

It seems the N. Irish powers coming out and berating protestors / rioters and calling them mindless racist thugs, hasn't had the effect they wanted it too...

From what I know, 2 14 Yr old Romanian boys tried to Grape a 12 year old girl, the town is 95% white N. Irish, I'm not sure what the anger is for, is this just a replica of Dublin / Southport, anti immigration sentiment regardless.

I have refrained from blaming Labour for GDP issues up until now, I always think the 1st year or so your still dealing with the previous government's decisions (althoughbive been scathing on their decision to hammer the poor and vulnerable).

But this is starting to look bad, and is a gift for reform.

I havnt gone in depth yet, but there's a few surprises I was expecting more for housing certainly.

Hopefully a few years of **** councilors will tell them how **** the MPs would be.

Sadly I think that unliklely.

We can but hope

...it's the hope that kills you of course

It's also a matter of time before Farage stands on his soap box and claims that his councillors were hamstrung by lack of funding/support from central Govt and bangs that drum until the next GE.

 

[dirty harry]

Talk about central government...

Listened to radio 2 discussing Rachel's budget review, that was a difficult listen lol.

David Walliams' Nazi salute on Would I Lie To You unacceptable, BBC says

The children's author and comedian made the gestures during a recording of Would I Lie To You?

www.bbc.co.uk

I'll post this here, it's not directly political per se, but the ramifications could be!

The production company said:

"Any attempt at humour regarding this deeply offensive gesture, whether broadcast or not, is completely unacceptable in any context."

Be fair sometimes tax rises are inevitable.

Do you not remember last time labour promised no tax rises (think it was Blair and Brown) and then backdoor taxed by raising NI contributions? There was huge outrage on that tactic.

It's better not to promise something you know at some stage you are probably going to have to break

Not politics but doesn't seem to fit elsewhere.

Depends where they get them from. The working class are already screwed.

Years of UKIP having useless MEPs and Farage failing to show up to all but 2 of the fisheries committee didn't teach them a damn thing. Reform will just claim they did fine and that will be that. Actual political competence simply doesn't factor in at all in the Reform voters reasoning.

Ladies and gentlemen, Reforms new chairman...
