I’m afraid you don’t understand the concept of evidence. You’ve raised another unsubstantiated claim of “hundreds of thousands” to try to justify an unevidenced claim that “millions” would come. If you cannot discuss correctly, get off my timeline.

I’m afraid you don’t understand the concept of evidence. You’ve raised another unsubstantiated claim of “hundreds of thousands” to try to justify an unevidenced claim that “millions” would come. If you cannot discuss correctly, get off my timeline.
The former. Your claim sounds very much like the Faragists’ one of “millions will come”. I trust you have the evidence to substantiate it?
On what grounds do you”expect” these millions to come?
I’d go with “a Big Arse” lawyer
I suspect the audience effect is heightened by the trend in the US of politically-appointed Supreme Court judges’ judgments
Are your officials too busy to decide asylum claims quickly? Too stretched to arrange cheap accommodation, so thousands languish in expensive, but grotty, hotels? Then why not task them to stop asylum-seekers having their hair cut? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It’s an”ology”, though, which makes it superior!
“Detainment” for “detention”
Similar. Keyless ignition motorcycle. Refuel at filling station using key to pen tank. Forget key. Ride 150+ miles then discover lack of key with nil fuel left!
Did Sky News point out to their interviewees where they were incorrect?
Didn’t Hitler do this with the Sudetenland?
On the dog-walk, saw fourteen butterflies on this buddleia! Happy
I misread the tiny text on the left image as “Nigel Farage *shit*”
This sounds very patronising, but she is rather technophobic and I’m not,
We both received this SMS message. My lady wife referred it to me, and we thought it looked iffy. Turns out we were good to do so.
Jones responds to Ogles…
Recoverable if it’s reversed on appeal?
And there you have it. Out in the open.
Perhaps it’ll help if Farage defines “illegal migrants”. Does he mean asylum seekers?
Quite a corker
Go to France, then. We don’t.
The court decided. Leniency was granted for her guilty plea. So having a population comprising incompatible beliefs is not such a heinous situation?
Lucy Connolly holds beliefs completely incompatible with mine (and most others) . Anything to say about that?
Are you suggesting only women wear it? Any evidence for that claim?
Do “we” want Faragism here? Incompatible beliefs
How is the burqa an incompatible belief?
No
I don’t recall the negotiated US withdrawal from Vietnam
Whereas “the land of the free and the home of the brave” just *isn’t any more*
It fits with the Trumpist “What are you paying me” policy, though
I did know of one school in the 1980s which taught a GCSE course on ICT whilst having no computers for the whole of the first two terms of a two-year course, and made do with cardboard keyboards!
What an unpleasant man. Why is he described as “Labour”. He displays one of those attributes
My class was a Vth form secondary. Task: input two numbers, add them and output the result. Could take the entire six week course at one period of access per week via acoustic modem (which was also problematic)
This is how my first Computer Studies teaching went. Took a week to get the results back! “Error at line 1”…and repeat
Certainly is! Yet amazing that some people seem to believe it.
The only immigrants that suffer *any* hostility are non-white, according to our earlier tweeter.
But you’re a *white immigrant* so nothing affects you. (Amirite?)

How long do you give it before Trump changes his mind?
@coppetainpu.bsky.social Not again?!
ReformUK Ltd are totally using Trumpian tactics to lie their way into office by making up stuff that their stupid base might actually believe.
Your puerile arguments and your poor English
No, we think you’re a twat. Thoughtless, ignorant, Farage-ranting bigot.
Professor Sensible. What irony.
Next you’ll be posting Farage-style “fighting age men” trash. Grow up.
“Being persecuted is not one of them” may be your opinion, unfortunately wrongly.
You claimed there were ways of arriving legally. Now you switch to proposing something that doesn’t exist. Either put up or shut up. I have no time for puerility like this
Please stop demonstrating your ignorance by using silly terms such as “coming illegally” and “insulting generosity”. Perhaps citing the Mechanisms that you believe are available to asylum seekers would help your spurious claim.
Show us that you don’t know what you’re talking about. That’ll help us credit your opinion
Nice view from your garden
1/ The Budapest Memorandum is coming up constantly given current events. I think it's worth talking about what it did and did not do. Specifically, the differences between the ASSURANCES it offered (strong), and the GARAUNTEES it provided (weak). Full text here: treaties.un.org/doc/Publicat...
Would any agreement signed in that city be called a “Budapest Memorandum “ perhaps? One that will be observed by Russia scrupulously?
Letter in Times today
So many factual errors here. MP claims to be supported by the majority opinion-false. MP claims “unfair because asylum seekers haven’t paid in”-where else is she to keep them? MP claims UK has no control of borders-false again. Appalling
When our MPs claim to know “the majority opinion” without any reference to statics to validate this, I despair. Where did this MP get the idea that the majority of the UK think fair treatment of asylum seekers is wrong?
Has no one told him that you button your jacket when you stand?
They don’t *think*, do they?
The MAGA Carta?
…and judges.
Apart from the hypocrisy that the Conservatives perpetuated these “perks”, this thread debunks the puerile poster claims
The problem with people like Cummings who "move fast and break stuff", is that it's always other people's stuff they break and they have neither the skill nor the inclination to fix the mess it leaves behind
Your post failed to understand that foreign students subsidise loss-making UK students. You blame teachers for mis-advising students about future pathways. You flip from one argument to another. I’m certainly not your *mate*. I wish to hear no more of this pie in the sky.
If it makes no difference, I fail to see why you’d engage at all unless it’s just to enable you to post your opinion, in which case we’re better off not reading it. ‘Bye
You’re now blaming teachers for “pushing kids to A-levels”. I don’t believe you know what you’re talking about. First it’s too many going to Uni, next it’s objecting to foreign students, after that it’s raising taxes. Then it’s building Voc Ed institutions.
Only wasting if you don’t value Uni education. Setting A-levels as a gold standard relegates vocational ed to second place. What’s your plan to deal with that?
Tried again and again. Never materialised. Expense? Whilst ministers push A-levels, Tech Ed suffers
And you think *fewer* overseas students, who subsidise the loss-making UK students is a Good Thing?
However you may feel about Kamala Harris, I am fairly certain that sentence would not have been uttered if she was the president.
“Reach out to” = “contact”
Can’t even get murdered by a white psychopath in the East End these days coz of woke.
Nobody wants to talk about it but my whole life has been a corporate psyop shifting the burden of saving our burning planet onto me, the consumer trapped in consumerism, when the reality is that my lifetime of recycling is negated by one private flight by Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders, or Taylor Swift.
Not The Hoople
Who removed Modern Languages from the Secondary National Curriculum? And didn’t expect the result?
“An audience” makes him sound like royalty! Quite humiliating
The irony. I doubt whether Gibb is capable of appreciating it.
We’ve suffered this in rural Northumberland for decades. Excuses like yours simply don’t wash. Personnel “saved” spend their time rushing hither and thither and failing entirely to “engage with the community” as they fly past en route to the next reported incident. (From a former foot patroller)

Probably won't even be in the top 10 of awful things Trump will do this week, but the President has just nominated someone to head the BLS who is a running joke among other economists for his ignorance of basic statistics... 🙄
But surely he has *capital letters* in his description!!! That must override reputation.
I know you know. I know some people think having a written UK Constitution would solve some issues…
Could you halve the single breakfast?
It’s all very well having a *written constitution * provided it’s enforced/observed
Who?
5 sounds good
Loads of fish in your river, but you’re not allowed any fishing…
Could one trust a Trump administration to honour an agreement even if it was on paper and signed? Fickle
But next he’ll claim the EU are reneging on the “deal” !!!
You won’t, I’m afraid. Trust is gone as is credibility. Neither are restorable in anything like a lifetime. You’ve lost expertise and ability in all the employees and institutions that have been dismissed or destroyed. Those aren’t waiting round the corner for a restoration of sanity. All gone sorry
A factual statement from The National Allotment Society re the utter nonsense a broadsheet posted over the weekend. Also, as per my post on Saturday: the only factual basis the article contains is a regurgitation of stats from a Parliamentary Q&A a few weeks back.
Nothing, but the wallet still contains cash from pre-covid
MATHS!!!!!
Trust in politicians is so low that workers would distrust a multi-year “promise”
I like “Asmodeus” myself
Does this mean I have to vote Conservative now?
Thank you for your attention to this matter
20 yes ago my neighbour rang my doorbell holding his 12-yr old son by the ear “He’s just thrown a stone and hit yr window, I’ll hold him, you hit him”! (Reader, I declined) So he hit him himself so violently.😳
