He apparently was very vocally angry with people criticising Starmer in the early days of his leadership, going by the screenshots I saw.

On the plus side for him, that guy earns over £100k for his job, and his organisation has got their name in the media a shitload, so he's still having a better week than most people.

eh, i mean he personally was being aggro and angling for trouble and the cop probably wouldn't have said it to someone who just happened to walk up the protest area, but 'you can't be standing around here like that, looking all jewish' is still not exactly great

One of those times where it'd be nice if journalists had ever spent more than half an hour outside of the south east of England.

Yeah, September looks a bit more likely now, particularly if they can insert your own 'awful thing to happen to immigrants' here and throw them on a plane to Kigali at some point in the summer. The shame is, as Grey Hunter points out, that the moral voice here is a bunch of unelected old people who in a functional democracy wouldn't even be part of the process.

The way that any government will move on from brexit is to leap straight into more self inflicted inflammatory disasters, like a divorced man having his rebound dating spree. My relationship with Rwanda has nothing to do with Europe. We just have a thing going. Why can't you be happy for Britain?

^^^ They can start with a trip to Rwanda.dadrips posted:I look forward to the government bringing this same sense of legislative urgency to anything that isn't forced deportation of asylum seekers to countries thousands of miles away with questionable human rights records The UK has accepted requests for asylum from Rwandans since this little political project began. The bill that was passed last night was a simple assertion that reality is whatever the government decides it is. It actually has less validity in its reasoning than the Indiana Pi Bill, which was the previous benchmark for pugnacious stupidity in the face of logic and sense.

How many of the 50,000 "illegal immigrants" a year do they plan on packing into these planes? Or did some Tory just set up their own airline? A 737 can carry 161 passengers, call it 150 prisoners after you add some guards. Thats 333 planes - pretty much one a day. I know they hope that this is supposed to be a stick to dissuade people, but it's all performative madness.

It's not a deterrent, people will come here regardless. The only benefit will be to people traffikers. Fun reminder that asylum makes up a tiny percentage of the immigration figures. The rest of the number is fully in the control of the home office, and that's not going to change because we still need people to work in hospitals, old folks homes and farms. And there is no desire to pay those workers an actual livable salary so the industry will always rely on cheap labour from overseas. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Apr 23, 2024 |

keep punching joe posted:It's not a deterrent, people will come here regardless. The only benefit will be to people traffikers. can you elaborate on the "asylum makes up a tiny percentage of immigration figures"? I am not doubting you, my question comes from a desire to have some ammunition to use against my tory mum who thinks Suella Braverman said good nice things about stopping the boats and didn't know what Gary Linker was on about, and that uncontrolled immigration is a problem (she reads the Torygraph surprise surprise). She also thinks the NHS should no longer be free at the point of service, but when pressed, has no idea to deal with people who can't afford to pay. I work in NHS finance and this has resulted in some pretty heated discussions between me and her! I think she's a lost cause but it's nice to be able to back up my arguments with facts and logic  Anyway I ask because a quick google for "asylum percentage of the immigration figures uk" the top result (which is from The House of Commons Library - so quite probably it's lies) claims "In the year ending June 2023, asylum seekers and refugees made up around 16% of immigrants to the UK" but then the second result (https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk) does say it's a tiny percentage, and gives some figures but not what the actual current percentage is. It would be good if I could illustrate to her that, as you say, most immigration is down to the home office. As it stands, 16% doesn't sound like a "tiny percentage" but I am sure that figure has been reached using some creative mathematics!

Guavanaut posted:What will they then do when the Good Friday Agreement and Council of Europe are the roadblocks? I'm not sure how the GFA is going to have an effect on illegally removing asylum seekers to Rwanda. But in any event, they don't care about what happens after they do it. They'll just do it and if they can't they'll make anyone who says they can't into the enemy. For all their talk of thousand year empires fascists don't really care about long term planning.

OK just by the government figures, 1.2 million people emigrated to the UK in 2023. Of those 67k made an asylum claim, so like 6%.

The Rwanda thing is more about corruption for the politicians and construction companies who built all those houses in Kigali and drumming up endless newspaper headlines while hoping for an ECtHR showdown so that they can go "see, we are being hamstrung by unelected Eurocrats" but then what? A referendum on something that would be an even bigger mess than Brexit?

Don't remember Rishi et al making all this big fuss over St David's Day? Walked past a cafe earlier and there were a couple of old blokes sat outside. Another old bloke walked past and said "Happy St George's Day" - one of the seated oldies replied ("Bugger off, I'm Welsh" (in a jovial way) and they all fell about laughing. Or St Patrick's Day or St Andrews Day come to that? Are they or are they not govt of the whole UK?
