No wonder Britain is a declining and decaying State.

And does getting a signed agreement with an Unsafe Country suddenly make it a Safe Country?

We truly are in the age of complete fukcwit politicians and voters.
****.... Just listened to starmer in a PMQ recording and this £140+ million is only to cover housing for 100 people...

So that means the deal costs us over £1,000,000 in extra tax, per person, per year...

What the actual ****?

And it gets better... It would appear that they forgot to limit the numbers that can come our way on the exchange Image

Nonsense....I'll have my personal cordwainer throw a pair together in next to no time. In a fashionable shade of black, I think.

Part of the reason for the creation of the EU was to prevent European countries from lurching into fascism and what does the first country to leave the EU do? Lurch towards fascism!

Right wing politics ultimately always leads to war.
It has in Russia, it has in Israel.

History proves it’s nearly always the case.

Well, I'm shocked... Who'd have known ?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-68032233

I realise I've used this series as reference material previously.
Quite a lot, actually..
But I'm making apologies...:

James Hacker: How am I going to explain the missing documents to "The Mail"?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Well, this is what we normally do in circumstances like these.

James Hacker: [reads memo] This file contains the complete set of papers, except for a number of secret documents, a few others which are part of still active files, some correspondence lost in the floods of 1967...

James Hacker: Was 1967 a particularly bad winter?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: No, a marvellous winter. We lost no end of embarrassing files..
"

It occurs to me, if some of the antics that our contemporary politicians currently engage in were proposed for "Yes Minister" scripts back then, they would probably be rejected as being too outlandish.?

And this is why the UK is broke. Has too few doctors, polic, crumbling schools, pothole ridden roads.

Whilst we are all paying 20-45% tax on our income plus 11% National insurance, this **** is paying 23% on £2.2 million of income.

I'm struggling to understand why we're heading for a recession. Is not cranking up interest rates and forcing the public to struggle to make ends meet while companies report record profits not working?
