Disgusting. They're all disgusting.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Disgusting. They're all disgusting.

My oldest, born in the UK, but no longer legally allowed to live there unless I double my salary caught me watching the vote.

The pantomime of the whole thing, the abhorrent nature of their plan, mindset - it's genuinely hard to equate these self-serving scum with country I grew up in.

Next door, in Poland, you've got an MP extinguishing the candles on a menorah, calling Judaism "satanic" to a gallery of mobile phone cameras.

Truly horrible times, close all social media except G.O.T and Mumsnet.

Disgusting. They're all disgusting.

It was always going to get passed.

But, what amendments will they try to change next year?? Can see issues further down the line.

I see the tory muffs are still trying to blame anyone but themselves for their own inability to pass the legislation that they actually want.

Quote from BBC ..
Cleverly says Parliament and the British people "support the Rwanda plan", before blaming the courts for frustrating the scheme so far.

"In recent years, some of the government's efforts to tackle illegal migration and deport foreign national offenders have been frustrated by a seemingly endless cycle of legal challenges and rulings from domestic and foreign courts," he says.

He adds that the government respects court judgments "even when we disagree with them".




Perhaps they should have spent less time fighting between themselves and imploding over the last 8 years then they might have actually got something done. Although in this case I'm personally pleased they've Effed it up (again)

now before anyone starts shouting ‘racist’, it’s worth looking at how our country has changed…..

Sick of the shitholes.

Lords will kick it out... 3rd reading and subsequent vote is where the action was always going to be. March 20 something is key date. Still heading for May election on this. Issue. Don't think I heard a single political commentator who thought Sunak would loose tonight.

 

[ForestBlue]

I ve just watched today's home secretary struggle to explain his own prepared answer on the bill to Ed Balls on GMTV.

Perhaps tomorrow's new home secretary or next week's one will be able to do better but I doubt it.
