At what point does everyone realise this is all for attention? Linehan would rather be hated than forgotten. Irrelevance is his worst fear because then he will have to face that it was all for nothing.

I'm not sure his thought processes are anywhere near as coherent as that. Dude's moving far, far into 'seriously unwell' territory.

Yeah, I've thought for a while that it would be best all round if people just quietly ignored the guy. If there's some obviously mentally ill person shouting at the traffic, you might avoid them or you might dial 111 and ask for help; you certainly wouldn't go shouting back at them.

It is fair to think Linehan should be ignored, but at the same time making AI porn of your critic is not the harmless screaming of a lunatic; it will palpably have an effect on the intended target.

The problem in general with these fucks is that they make their weird hang-ups other, innocent, peoples' problem.

Oh yeah, he's definitely dangerous, I just don't think he's dangerous on, like, a careful, strategic level. This seems like a full-fledged 'howling and chucking bricks at passers-by' psychotic break.

It's so incredibly blatant that his only plan is to get a plane going before he has to call an election, so he can campaign on it. That's it. That is what all of this poo poo is about.

Ollie: What if the announcement is...there's no big announcement.
Hugh: Oh, for goodness...
Ollie: No, no, wait. Right? We say, "The Department of Social Affairs has been doing amazing work, bread-and-butter work, belt-and-braces work, the kind of work that you people aren't interested in 'cos it's not shiny, shiny, media-friendly stuff. You are so obsessed with how things play in the media, you sickos, that every time we try and do, you know, just carry on with our day, you don't show up. So we have to call a big, you know, thing like this."
Hugh: On target, under budget.
Ollie: Coalface politics.
Hugh: Absolutely. Yes, I like that.
Glenn: Not wasting resources.
Hugh: Good. Let's do that.
Glenn: Let's go for that.

Couldn't the counter be true? Call an election before the plan can be torn to shreds, delay any actual implementation until after the election with the excuse of giving the voters their say and campaign on "the plan is in place, vote for me if you want to Start The Flights".

Calling an election now is suicide. They have nothing. Polling is in the toilet. This isn't a popular plan at all (I think I saw some polling on it that suggested, at best, people were neutral towards it).

I mean, it's not going to change if/when there are flights happening, but at least that's something he can point at and say "I have done the Thing"

We've spoken to the King of Rwanda on his hotmail account and he says he only needs another 60 million to get the flights started. We're calling on Lords Cameron and Farage and Lucan to take that out of the benefits bill and get the planes done!

Can anyone actually explain to me what the point of the Rwanda plan is and why the government are pushing it as seemingly the one and only Plan to end all plans? Why must it be pushed through despite all cost, decency, international law, protests and blocks by our very own courts? How is it that this alleged Plan is the only way to deal with alleged illegal immigration and processing of asylum seekers?

Not that it surprises me that this government (and opposition) would repeatedly double down on the stupidest poo poo possible in the face of all reason and rationality (cf Brexit), but surely there are better ways, even if they're still poo poo, than literally flying immigrants by the handful half way round the world, to sodding Rwanda of all places, at the cost of literally millions per person. Or is it like crypto/NFTs where you keep digging to find some secret explanation you're missing, but it really is just that loving stupid and knuckleheads keep falling for it? Plus the bonus that someone, somewhere must be making a load of dirty cash out of it.

I mean, what's an alternative Plan? Other countries seem to be handling this sort of thing without repeatedly tripping over their own clownshoes on the international stage.
