Maybe she can claim asylum in the US, or is that only available to white South Afrikaners?

She’s being encouraged to by the likes of Allyson Pearson.

If you're near me I can help, but aside from that I would say you can't guarantee lap cattery. And conversely, the shy one can turn out to be a massive lap cat after a few months. It's a furry minefield.

She pleaded guilty

Hard to see how this is going to play out well for Starmer.

There are forces at work intent on Labour’s downfall.

😂

On Friday, Yvette Cooper said ministers were working to close hotels housing asylum seekers “as swiftly as possible” as part of an “orderly” programme that avoided creating problems for other areas.

The home secretary said: “That is the reason for the Home Office appeal in this case, to ensure that, going forward, the closure of all hotels can be done in a properly managed way right across the country – without creating problems for other areas and local councils.”

Guardian.

The power of protest?

Borrowed cat tax

I know re lap cats. My very old lady 21 was the most standoffish cat and had a wicked temper but she would just love us and clean my hair and groom me when it suited her.
my last cat was supposed to be never allowed with children ( she was very big like a polar bear) but she was the softest cat I have ever known. When I had my first baby she put a dead rat on his changing mat as a present and she was a rubbish hunter so it must have taken her ages.

I’m an atheist. I spend more time in churches than most vicars. Addiction to church music means I sing it a lot. Here’s a bit of me (and about 40 mates) on tour.

No. A stated manifesto aim.

I can just see it now.

That was so kind of her.
I used to have a cat that was clearly surprised I could keep myself alive. He kept bringing me live mice and dropping them on my feet to teach me to hunt. They’re all heart.

Ah, a pure coincidence as to the timing then.

Got it.

That’s beautiful, cardi, thank you for posting that. Back when we had cats I put my hand in my handbag one morning and found I was clutching a dead mouse. On another occasion one fell on my bloke’s head when he put his umbrella up.

Thanks. We had a fab tour.

What coincidence? She’s just reiterating the aim to explain the appeal.

I’m calling bullshit.

Cooper’s statement is a vain attempt to quell a long weekend of protest. Few believe her.

Ok. Believe what you like @MyNameIsX
But just a thought - would a government responding to the populace be such a bad thing?

It depends at what stage said government act - at the 11th hour, when they are compelled to appeal a High court judgement, and on the eve of a long weekend of protest? Please.

Call me cynical - but its prudent to be so with this government.

I hope she succeeds then. I'm not up for a long weekend of protests.

FWIW, I agree that there are forces trying to bring the government down.

This government? Have you forgotten the last one? Their every move was cynical.

Enjoy your weekend protesting X

The Tories started reducing the use of asylum hotels after introducing it a few years earlier.

Where would you like to house them instead?

No, I will not be joining the protests.

I have a relaxing weekend planned, some of which will be in the garden. Can’t say I am a fan of felines though. Terrible for the bird community, and my borders.

Wow cardi that’s fantastic. I love the hauntingness (is that a word?!) of church music.
