Absolutely!

Probably drink is as big killer in Australia. There is a big drinking culture

This used to be quite common I am told around the little creeks and inlets of the medway in the 60s and 70s Illegal immigrants from India arrived in little fishing boats from Holland in the dead of night and were picked up in vans and whisked away to East London That's how it was done in those days apparently. Or landed onto the flat shingle beach at Pevensey The thing is, they were only landing four or five at a time and they were mostly destined for the kitchens of curry restaurants Their whole motivation was to disappear into the system not to claim anything or be visible in any way. Decades on many of these old illegals are now living under the elevated sections of the M4 in West London. Old men with no where else to go Living on charity from the Indian community who feeds them

When my best friend lived in Australia in the 70s his job every morning was to check the swimming pool for snakes before his younger brothers and sister were allowed to use it.

Unfortunately that's not the case. As soon as any individual mutters the magic word "asylum " (and it is a magic word) they become untouchable. They are immediately entitled to a whole range of benefits and protections. Including legal aid Essentially then we are on the back foot. It becomes our job to prove their claim is not genuine. Even then their lawyer will appeal over and over again until the case is eventually dropped.

This is true, you forgot to add lazy and working from home The simple answer would be to open a processing centre in Rwanda as they tried to do but were obstructed Limit the amount of money these lawyers can earn from "representing " a boat person. Stop the time wasting appeals and kick the ECHR out from immigration cases. Its well intentioned but open to exploitation

My RFD friend told me this week that he has heard of a couple of dealers having their licences pulled for insufficient activity. I didn't actually know they could do that?

I honestly wonder what people think our various organisation can actually do in the face of inflexible bureaucracy? In the past we have had so many times when it appears the legislation was already written before the consultation even started. No reasoned arguments in the past appear to have even been read much less actually taken into consideration. Such is the arrogance

The buses down here in Cornwall are generally pretty good and reliable. Lots of routes too Good for us as they are free

The Albanian president is demanding we issue them all with visas so they don't have to risk the crossing and can fly here The other problem is we haven't got control because we haven't left the ECHR which we surely should have done?

Let's not get too unrealistic about this. 60% plus are Albanians who are flying into Belgium on scheduled flights. Being picked up in minibuses and driven to French coast. It's a straight forward criminal people smuggling operation. But because they are primed to mutter a few scripted lines when they get here like "I am gay" they get housed and a solicitor for years of appeals and time wasting hearings. What ever happened to no, f off? You are on the plane tomorrow ? Suella Braverman is trying to do that and the remainers and the bleeding heart liberals hate her for it

Suella Bravaman is getting a huge amount of flack from remainers and museli eating liberals for wanting to kick the ECHR into touch and clamping down on the blatantly illegal channel migrants She needs our support to fend off the negative forces trying to undermine her

That's pie in the sky, it's been peddled as a political aspiration for centuries. It never has worked and it never will work because it flies in the face of the human condition. Nice to dream about and great for charlatan politicians to promise but it never seems to happen. Read Animal Farm

It didn't stop them with Trump and he's as mad as a box of frogs

It's a typical example of any Nationalised Industry controlled by the unions Down here in Cornwall I get no letters for days then I get a bundle with an elastic band round them

They haven't gone away, the looney left is still out there Clearly you don't go on the right (wrong?) websites

If he was elected he would have less time in office than liz Truss had. He would be ousted and some hard left Momentum candidate shoe horned in to replace him.

To an extent you are right .they are behind a lot of the subversive websites that polute the minds of these individuals. For Russia its another easy way to destabilise western society and that is still their political aim

Very little of the money ever reached the families. Most of it is probably still sitting in a bank somewhere. The reason, put simply, is it was set up as a hardship relief fund. The problem being that the loss of a child although it may ruin lives and drive you to despair its hard to prove that it has caused financial hardship. So very little of the money was ever paid out in the years that followed So I am told

Just a point of law. When a person is in care home and the money runs out the council can't remove them from the home they are in and transfer them somewhere cheaper if they have been there two years. They are classed as settled and are protected by their dreaded human rights That doesn't stop the councils trying mind you Actually £4500 a month is quite cheap. When we were looking for somewhere for my late mother we were looking at £6000 + You can stay in a very nice hotel for that

I know it well, I lived for a while very close by. I always avoided driving through the place. I visited the cemetery once, you can't really miss it, but I wished I hadn't it's seriously creepy. The thing was, it wasn't an accident it was serious neglect by the coal board. The slag heap had been allowed to extend over a stream and the water destabilised it.

It's not the job of the government to find staff for the NHS The NHS should take care of its own needs. The fact that it doesn't is symptomatic of its general complacency and inefficiency The NHS has plenty of overpaid managers. They don't seem to have much trouble filling those vacancies
