    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We’ve sent more Home Secretary’s there than we have asylum seekers. He’s the third.

    So the Rwanda plan looks more and more like a pointless red meat for the frothers gimmick the more the details come out. What we’ve learned today against a backdrop of a backlog of over 100K claims for asylum is that there’s capacity for 100 claimants in total in Rwanda and we’re bringing...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Which is ridiculous because Jews are not excluded from being anti-Zionist. In fact when some Jews invented Zionism other Jews immediately invented anti-Zionism, Jews are the original anti- Zionist and still are to this day including Jews who live in Israel. They see Zionism as a direct threat to...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    If you didn’t know it was that bad you haven’t been paying attention. It was reported by all outlets including the BBC at the time. The media are now rehashing these stories as good client journalists because our government wants to distract from Israel’s own behaviour since that day. 6000...

    Dumbest work meetings

    I worked for a company once that insisted on sending you on various courses all of a similar theme and quite often for a week, 90% of which were with the same training company. The first one was usefulish as a new employee although I’d been recruited from the opposition in an industry I’d worked...

    Pretty much what Yvette Cooper was saying in response. She was also pointing out that employers were allowed to employ for example an engineer on 20% lower wages as an immigrant compared to a British engineer which is also linked to a drop off in training British engineers. Labour’s plan is...

    Also on this immigration clampdown surely the draw for medical professionals coming to the UK was largely because you could bring your dependants. Where’s the incentive now? Sounds like a trap for the next government who will have to reverse it for the benefit of the NHS.

    Sunak had his first defeat in the commons yesterday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67615379 I wonder if we’ll see more of this as a lot are standing down at the next GE and plenty more won’t be expecting to win? Still, on a positive it should have passed given the importance of the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    A poll in Russia shows that support for the war in Ukraine has collapsed since the previous poll in February. The largest majority now want a full withdrawal and Putin is worried with presidential elections coming next year.

    Try not to sound too happy about it.

    I get your point but she’s stepping down at the next election so no one will be voting for either her or a party with her in. Shit though in it. Other than new manager bounce it’s hard to see what difference labour is offering. Mick Lynch listed a few things in his Andrew Marr interview but he...

    I think it was https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/rmt-update-on-new-network-rail-pay-offer-an080323/ Pretty sure every new offer was put to members. RMT recommended that they didn’t accept every new offer including the current one, members voting this time to accept despite the recommendation from RMT.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    The hate speaker got sacked and the gammons stayed at home. It really isn’t that complex. You don’t even know what the day was actually called, you’ve read something saying it’s remembrance day and blindly ran with it.

    That’s exactly what happened. It was all MP’s, one in particularly.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Stop behaving like an adult. If you agree with someone on one thing you automatically agree with them on everything. That’s the law… of the playground.
