  1. Because I'm confused, At PMQ Sunak said the court had confirmed it to be legal, but had deemed Rwanda unsafe. Reading further if I have it right, sending them is legal, sending them to a declared unsafe location is not. To this end they want to rush through legislation to declare Rwanda a safe country and guarantee no repatriation. This seems to go against keeping the immigration election card up their sleeve. Tackling the smugglers is not so simple, if they're here OK but most are abroad and out of out jurisdiction - another Brexit blessing Labour of course object a
  2. Fair point though I would expect an answer when a counter point it made. Sunak was mostly replying with carefully prepared answers to questions he knew in advance. Hoyle interrupted only twice and did not address Sunak.
  3. Woke is now reduced to the level of a general insult. You're a protestor - you're woke, you're in favour of lbg - you're woke, You want to save the whale - you're woke. Woke is nothing more than a catch all pejorative term. Ask most what it means and they will say it's an insult. Braverman has gone but it has to said despite being dangerously authoritarian, she caught the mood of the people in some of the things she said, . McVey, minister without portfolio is quite frankly a joke. What special talent she brings to the table is beyond me. She is to tackle the scourge of
  4. Tents and sleeping bags are from various charities, no idea where they shower and shave though.. Here's a thought. We can find accommodation for the 8000 odd that arrived in August, but not for the 3000 that had to sleep rough during the same period,,,
  5. It's not just the unit though, most installations means upgrading radiators, possibly pipes and insulation to get the benefit. Heat pumps work at much lower temperature than a combi hence bigger rads or running for longer. It's a tricky one...
  6. @BK. PITTYBREW URGENT CHRISTMAS APPEAL Today marks the tenteenth anniversary celebrations of our millennial organisational resources going forward with our plans to implement four-dimensional asset options. And today the Pittybrew needs your help to initiate a more contemporary reimagining of our financial management reserves and provide a solution that can only be responsive to situational vicissitude if we are to avoid a mid-course correction. Pittybrew believes in outside the box strategic matrix approaches. Muggi
  7. Had half an hour or so viewing on the PC, mainly the politics. Initial impressions are not quite as disparaging though there is a definite lack of impartiality in the sub-editors straplines GB News looks as though it's TV on a shoestring with much of the editorial taken from other sources. Have not seen a 'face', and the outside broadcast reporting on the kings birthday kept breaking down leaving the two anchors floundering a bit. I think I'll stay with my usual feeds.
  8. No idea about the music but as someone who once voted for Blair I'm now firmly of the opinion he should be prosecuted not promoted. There are howls about Johnson lying to Parliament (quite right too), yet Blair is as guilty, and considering the results possibly more so.
  9. But at the printers the extra cost of printing a couple notes is so small it can't be measured, why miss them out? Most calendars are printed from a standard form. It must take a deliberate effort to eliminate those dates just as it needed a decision to include the non-Christian ones.
  10. Air source units have rather large fans running when they are working.. At around 60dB it's not a massive noise but it is constant, how bothersome that is depends on where it's installed and how much you can hear inside the house - and whether it affects the neighbours.
  11. I the cost is not so important as the noise level. be interesting to hear your views after it's up and running.
  12. I've genuinely never seen GB news on TV, no wonder i didn't get it. -------------- Blair as a Middle East peace maker? Seems somewhat ironic...perhaps he'll co-opt Bush to be his adviser.
  13. You said Hamas had their backs to the wall and would not listen, if the call is as you say applicable to both sides then one side not listening would in my mind reasonably be described as a refusal. In this case the call is denied by both. That fellows from the above however the whole tone of you piece seemed pro-Palestine with little sympathy for Israel Again that reads that you have not seen Hamas killing Palestinians (IDS killing Palestinians and Hamas doing the same?), however I think you mean they are not killing Israelis in the same numbers, though they are
  14. You make it sounds so good KT I'm almost tempted..... almost...
  15. I'm astonished! Hamas have their backs to the wall, IDF killing 000's and you think it understandable not to negotiate a ceasefire? Are you OK with Hamas sticking to their principles whilst they allow their fellow countryman to die and suffer? Not even a small criticism of the intractability? Really Col? not that you're biased or anything but but you know that do you? Troops are massacring women and children but giving a free pass to Hamas fighters? Jews did not start this mess though it seems obvious you have little sympathy for a nation that has suffere
  16. Did she though? You're attacking her over semantics. She used the term 'mob. to which you object and assume to be inflammatory. Yet can you not see your posts are no different? Any opposition protesters are 'Far Right Thugs', 'brain dead morons', 'hard of thinking', 'Jihadists'.. Exactly the tone you are castigating her for. You seem to take the view any opposition would be right wing I'm at a loss why you dislike the term pro-Palestinian when it so clearly is. The number of professionally printed 'free Palestine' banners and flags is huge. Free Palestine from what the
  17. No Col don't agree, that's your extremist interpterion and blowing it out of proportion. Nowhere has there been any mention of jihad. I'm pleased to say so far it's been peaceful, I hope it stays that way.
  18. It seems this was mis-reported and the child cannot even go home. What little I know of the case grieves me more than somewhat.
  19. Typing all that on a phone would take me a week Col, you have my admiration! I don't believe we are Col. The situation you're describing is like a member of one church being tarred with the same misdeeds committed in another parish years ago. I don't believe it and it's not fair to smear her name with out real proof. I do not support some of her policies but draw the line at attacking her as a person without good reason. Your man is not hysterical , he's impassioned, Braverman's was not speaking plainly she was 'gobbing off'...? The Independent h
  20. The story is refuted by those concerned - the Triratna Buddhists and the London Buddhist Centre https://thebuddhistcentre.com/londonbuddhistcentre/suella-braverman-triratna-buddhist-order-and-london-buddhist-centre I have to disagree also. Where is the evidence of the conspiracy you think the writer is right about. Any evidence the dubious interpretations are valid? Is there any evidence of 'made up' stories. He quotes stories, plural, but cites only one and he gets that wrong!. Unless of course we're counting the ones about Braverman in the Observer and Guardian.
  21. A rather hysterical diatribe that garners several disparate characters and lumps them into a conspiracy theory. It's laying the ground work for blaming the right for any trouble. The language used in this piece indicates (to me at least), a typical mindset of a disgruntled malcontent. It names two newspaper without offering a shred of proof other than twisted interpretations. The poppy seller story he cites as lies and police discounting it. CCTV shows the guy was certainly jostled although not the clearest of pictures. And I'm not sure should have put himself in in the middle of
  22. Whilst I support the right to protest, I have a rather uneasy feeling that it's so well organised, by whom and who is leading it. That three or four apparently unconnected people can call out so many here is a stretch but internationally? One report accuses George Soros, a left leaning billionaire, of giving $15M to the groups organising the protests, not sure what to think about that.
  23. Lets, one of the ways this topic survives is by not referencing anyone in particular if it can be avoided, misunderstandings are too easily made with emotive subjects. If you think the I meant you in particular, I didn't. As with your "left will claim right wing bias and visa versa", it's non-specific The single refugee that Lineker helped was a Pakistani law student who, for whatever reason, abandoned his wife back in Pakistan and stayed with Lineker for a few weeks in 2020. There are another few 000s to choose from if he fancies another. Lineker must look down from a
  24. Lineker made some silly references to the Nazis in relation to the government immigration policies. Later he said he was open to hosting immigrants in his multi-million pound house in London. I would imagine such an offer would have been snapped up immediately yet somehow they've not go round to accommodating any. Vorderman has a right to voice her opinions just as the BBC has a right to defend its integrity and reputation. She appears to have left by mutual agreement. But if I listen carefully I could probably hear the cries of right wing bias from here claiming she was sacked.
