I would add that no one should presume his reason for not reporting it to the police.

Me neither. Bullied into silence by thug rule.

We don't know that @PickAChew

Rylan needs to watch the company he keeps.

I’ve read (but don’t know if true) that Rob Rinder commented ‘Proud of you’ which is also very disappointing if true because I really loved their Grand Tour series.

So was I. I didn’t expect him to be one spouting false narrative.

🤯 I didn’t think Jon Sopel and Emily Maitlis would try and blame the Government for this

Now, Rinder I am not surprised by.

I think the “Proud of you” comment may have related to something else, but I think although Rinder has said he isn’t a member of any party, he supported Matt Hancock’s leadership bid 😬 so anti immigration views wouldn’t surprise me.

Having seen his amazing legal acumen at work swallowing any old tosh as long as a camera is pointed at him, I find myself thinking that if he thinks something is good, then it probably isn't.

It's all bait and clicks, plus keeping up the revenue.

The Tories failed miserably in trying to contain illegal entry but are now successfully merging it with asylum seekers into this country.

The two should never be conflated.

Rinder was born in London on 31 May 1978[3] into a Jewish family;[4][5] his mother is Angela Cohen, chair of the 45 Aid Society.[6] His maternal grandfather, Morris Malenicky, was a Holocaust survivor and one of the "Windermere children".[7]

Rinder certainly comes from an interesting background. Love The Windermere Children by the way. Very moving. It also has one of my favourite lines when a Scotsman is coaching football ' And I'm not shouting. This is how we all talk In Scotland.'

But that doesn't automatically make him a nice person.

I just had wistful thoughts about Matt Hancock.

I almost think he's a better Tory.

Do I need therapy?

There is zero reason why someone whose life in the UK that would not be possible had the UK not provided refuge for their ancestors has to automatically take a side in modern life.

However you have to ask quite what they think they are supporting ?

Yeah.

I'm saying nothing more on RR as it may bring visitors.

DH just had a phone call from the 'Immigration Department'. Seems he is in trouble . Ermm. He was definitely born in Norwich.

Yes, urgently

@Piggywaspushed maybe this will help 🤢

Is there a picture pending?

I'm cured even in anticipation.

I am afraid so, apologies to everyone

I see no picture. Have you upset the approval system, evenstar?

Must have done, but no message appearing to say so

If it was hancock, it might have to do with the last part of his name not getting through filters

@DuncinToffee 🤣
