So where does he send them back to? The Dublin accord died with Brexit. Won't other countries object to england dumping people?
Didn’t you call them chavs and yobs for 20 years until you realised you could ventriloquise your posh-boy racism through them?
Please don't. Other countries are watching.
This is never going away, is it?
It's only england, Scotland seems to be able to pay people properly. Why is england so mismanaged?
Shame they couldn't have just given them to you. Good luck.
It's not looking rosy for the english on any front is it? Maybe find out how competent countries manage their affairs and copy them.
Tax the Toffs!
Surely if London was built by Victorians for a victorian climate, they would have insulated their homes like other countries. Insulation works both ways, hot or cold. Instead they just didn't bother. Romans had more of a clue.
Frozen State Pensions from an uncaring UK govt don't help either. Go for it!
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
I’m sorry, but Nick Clegg looking for a comeback?? Not a chance. All this shit began with him and Cameron.
Saturday says Make it creamy.
No one should be ...
Why is Chicago the trigger. Do you live there?
Saturday says make it creamy.
No it is not reciprocal. The UK chooses to do this unilaterally. Canada brings this up with UK every couple of years, and it is always rejected.
If you choose to retire to Europe, US or Israel for example you get the full state pension, if it's Canada, Australia or NZ amongst others it's frozen. Why?
Back in the day, the UN would send in a peacekeepng force. Why is the world so scared that it cannot send in a force to deliver aid where it is needed?
Why do people accept this. It just doesn’t make sense
No rush then.
Probably needs someone to do something about it.
I wonder if Donald Trump would kick the UN out of New York if it took effective action against Israeli genocide in Gaza ... meme via Sandy Mount
Love this too. Partly because it will be utterly baffling to those it mocks. It’s this kind of humour that I love about Britain. Not flags strapped to lamp posts. (Private Eye)
Yes.
Frozen State Pensions discriminate as well. How about fixing those?
Add unfreezing of Frozen State Pensions to the manifesto and unlock the potential of 600 votes (average) to each constituency. Single issue voters.
I'm sure that some alliance with the EU, similar to EEA can be dreampt up for us to join and get similar rights to before. As long as it's not called EU, the brexit people can't complain.
Imagine how different it would all be if, rather than aping Farage, Labour had worked from day one to establish safe routes, set up processing centres in France, process applications, and softly defuse the asylum issue.
Ooh ooh, I've got an alternative!! Hire more people to process claims in the manufactured backlog, stop bad decision-making w lengthy appeals processes (going back to 2000s New Labour tactic). Swift, efficient processing completely removes the need for hotels! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.
Our brave boys in blue.
Do you think that the system of government needs to be changed? The traditional "checks and balances" stuff that kids are taught, has turned out to be nonsense. I'm thinking of you all.
I rang the Police. "I think someone is breaking into my house." "We don't come out for that." "They are holding a I support Palestine Action sign." 5 seconds later, 100 Police and an Apache Gunship arrived.
When he was running to be Labour leader Keir Starmers campaign video boasted that he had stood up for protesters when the full force of the state was against them. Today his govt is arresting a disabled blind man for holding a placard.
Awwwww.
I hope these coppers are proud of themselves. Such heroes.
There is no accountability in the UK. Grenfell, Windrush, WASPI women, Post Office, Frozen State Pensions ... Nobody ever goes to court, let alone serves a sentence. Corrupt islands of racists.
He's just so pathetic isn't he? Spineless waste of space. Glad I don't live there anymore, even with the Frozen State Pension.
Hopefully they're ....
It's only the English's false sense of superiority that prevents them from seeing that they are worse off than the other regions in uni fees, prescription charges, ability to get EU passport etc.
No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.
How about pledging to end Frozen State Pensions? There's a lot of votes in 430000 affected pensioners.

One of the biggest lies of neoliberalism is the notion that the richest in society need to be rewarded with carrots while the poorest need to be punished with sticks. It's so depressing to see *Rachel from accounts* defending this outdated ideology from the pre-pandemic days.
Arms companies promote war Fossil fuel companies promote weather disasters Private healthcare companies promote poor people's deaths Free ports promote money laundering Landlords promote homelessness Banks promote bankruptcy All paying £billions in donations to corrupt politicians #SocialistSunday
No lie told.
Ask Mick how he's liking Brexit. Does he like the country being poorer?
Is that allowed?
THANK YOU - and this is just the beginning. Soon we’ll share all the ways you can get involved. Billionaires already have three parties fighting for them. It’s time the rest of us had one. Join us: yourparty.uk
Why are English kids having to pay more to go to Uni than the rest of the UK? Isn't that discrimination? Maybe unconstitutional, or would be if anyone had bothered to write the constitution down. Shouldn't we all be equal?
Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.
How about we say F*ck the IMF, the billionaires plaything and get rid of Brexit and tax the rich instead?
Maybe provide social healthcare like every other country in the world. Maybe learn about other countries.
Maybe if someone is impeached, the rules should bar them from further office, because the impeachment shows that they aren't trustworthy. I know nothing though.
Maybe UN troops with a mandate to protect vulnerable people would help. IDF could maybe learn a few things.
We couldn't afford to put my Dad into one in the UK, but I've recently sorted one for my FIL in California (not a cheap area) and thay are half the price of the UK. Something is wrong in the UK.
6th largest economy in the world though, but chooses to subject 430000 pensioners to cruel Frozen State Pension policy. What a country!
The right has gone absolutely nuts. The Tory party is chewed up with its brexity failure and the prejudice ticket that once gave it power. Reform’s rise from their ashes is the toxic aftermath. And the media dance along like it’s all so exciting, rather than a goddam nightmare for us all.
Party of Yore?
Perhaps ending the cruel Frozen State Pensions policy for 453,000 of us might help.
What a depraved git Starmer is. ICE tribute acts incoming on the streets of the UK
End the cruelty of Frozen State Pensions!
Will we stop sending weapons to Israel? Will we stop funding illegal settlements in the West Bank? Will we impose a trade boycott? Will we actually *do* anything?
How big a bag of potatoes?
Not such a good deal if you retire to a commonwealth country. End the cruelty of Frozen State pensions!
Isn't this just stating the obvious? It needs for something to be done, maybe by someone with some influence in these things.
The whole system seems to be driven by grift. French had the solution.
So were the Tolpuddle Martyrs, Alan Turing, Oscar Wild and the deported Jews of the holocaust. Laws aren't always right. Pay attention at election time!
Sad to see taxpayers money spaffed away like this. Starmer should be ashamed. I feel sorry for police having to waste their time on this crap. What a job!
It's not symmetrical so I hope it won't make it through to Tree of the Week. We have standards!.
There is a similar level of corruption in the UK. Probably always has been there. Grenfell, HOL reform, Monarchy, Frozen state pensions, Post Office, Waspi women, Windrush ...
Canada?
Estate agents should be licenced, as it is in more ethical countries.
Ignore BBC propaganda - vote Greens & Independents
👸🏻: “Shame on the state of Israel for what they’re doing to the Palestinian people at the moment” 👮🏻♂️: “Are you gonna stand up for the search?” 👸🏻: “No, I’m bloody not!” Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear jeans and raincoats 🔥🙏
I would have thought your friends would have said something.
Funny enough, I worked on the design of Windscale pond 5 back in the 70s as a junior draughtsman. It was OK when I left it 😜. I think nuclear has a place in the short term until renewables take over. It's a necessary evil. UK has dithered about renewables for too long.
What's the alternative? Kick it down the road? Import energy? UK has lost the expertise in nuclear, so the first new one will be expensive due to a need for technology transfer. In France they kept their industry going and now have very cheap electricity, and expertise.
All of the solutions to the problems are really simple. Global Warming, build Solar/Wind Energy which is 8x cheaper. Housing, build Social Housing. Immigration, stop bombing 3rd world countries, aid them instead. They just don't want to do them so they call them complex.
I have had a secret passion for striped blazers and I would quite like to be a morris dancer. I once bought a fedora hat at a market but was too shy to wear it. Is it too late to combine all three?
We couldn't afford to put my Dad into a home in the UK, so we adapted his home the best we could. I've just priced it up for my father in law who lives in California and it's half the price of the UK for much better care. Something has gone seriously wrong there. 6th largest economy in the world.
Why don't they just look at what the French or Germans do? They have first world health systems. 6th largest economy in the world and can't care for it's people. UK is a disgrace.
Bring Shamima home.
I know what you mean.
You are so lucky that you have a written constitution. In the UK, which operates on a boy's club nudge nudge wink wink system, they removed the citizenship of a british born minor who was trafficked abroad. The brits don't seem to give a sh*t It can happen anywhere. Shocking.
Nothing is ever cleared up in the UK. 6th largest economy in the world but somehow can't look after old and sick people unlike other nations with smaller economies. Why is that?
Frozen state pensions, Waspi women, Grenfell ...
6th biggest economy in the world. Where is the money going?
Brexit maybe?
So how are those checks and balances working out?
There are an awful lot of injustices that the British govmt, doesn't address. Top o my head they are: Hillsborough Grenfell Waspi women Frozen state pensions Post Office Anyone ever jailed for these? When Menendez was killed was anyone sacked? Just business as usual from a callous state.
6th largest economy in the world.
President Macron says people supporting Brexit argued it would make controlling migration easier - but the opposite was true. "Since Brexit, there is no migration deal with the EU" - Good to see Macron telling the government and the rest of us some home truths. news.sky.com/video/macron...
Those of us retired in some commonwealth countries get the single finger instead. End frozen pensions.
It was because he'd said "Get on yer bike", and I had a bike, I felt he was speaking to people like me. Blokes with bikes.
