I agree, and Holyrood should switch to FPTP for elections. Then the SNP will no longer be beholden to the extremist greens (or anyone else for that matter as they would win 99% of the seats).

Was at TWT at the weekend (the event the Mail were calling "the Labour Party's hard left extremist fringe event") and it is insane to think this guy is in the same political party as people who I saw advocating for workers rights, loan forgiveness and abolishing the monarchy

Yeah, just goes to show that Labour must be destroyed because it's the only way to great rid of these loving scummy wreckers

can you swim across the Channel or is it too wide for normal people to do that ?

6 people have swum across the atlantic, so surely the channel would be a breeze

too cold for a normal person unless they have a drysuit i'd imagine

the latest multi-swim was in 2019 where a woman went back and forth between england and france four times. the first swim across was in 1875

takes about 8+ hours in cold water, not great without a wetsuit or the traditional alternative of slathering yourself in incredible amounts of grease. needs training and practice but certainly doable

the colder it is, the harder you can swim without overheating

in official attempts there's always a trailing boat that just hand you stuff. idk about this hypothetical refugee scenario

just how i think supported bike tours are lame (a van with equipment just tails you the whole time), channel swimmers should be expected to stare death in the eyes

There's 2 pricks from Little Britain, you should narrow it down

(OK, I know the one you mean, I just wanted to insult Matt Lucas too)

And yeah, it is swimmable, at about 20 miles at its narrowest point, Dover to Calais. But it's also the busiest stretch of water in the world, with a quiet day having 500 boats travelling through it. The record is 7 hours, the average goon sure as poo poo isn't doing it under 14. Hell, the first attempt took just under 22 hours. I am fairly confident that I would drown after 22 hours in the Channel, if a tanker doesn't hit me first & turn my body into mush.

There've been refugees whose bodies turned up as far away as Norway who are believed to have tried swimming from France to England. It's probably quite a hard thing to do without loads of training & support.

Some in Number 10 are believed to blame the Tory unrest on the failure of ministers and their teams to properly explain their plans.

"Some around Truss think this all just needs to be explained better," said one business source familiar with the conversations in Number 10.

Some in government are understood to see the market assault on the pound and government debt as a plot by the left, something which has surprised city traders.
