A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Yes she will probably have to as she can’t keep dragging up the black hole left by the Tories, that would be a bit embarrassing now.

Yes, Labour don't mention black holes often now do they? Its "inheritance" now. Funny that.

You're right though @NoWordForFluffy, others have swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Even Starmer and Reeves have worked out that talk of black holes isn't helpful for Labour.

I don't understand why we can't send him home to a country that he wants to go to?

I'm sure there's a legal reason for it, but I don't know what it is. In any case where a non-British resident has committed a crime, shouldn't we automatically be able to deport them? Why should the British taxpayer pay for them to be in prison? It's really expensive. I suppose it's to do with extradition treaties and stuff.

It seems we can't even deport them when they want to leave 🤷‍♂️.

He's from Afghanistan originally, but has been living in Stockholm since 2019. He has a string of convictions, and was already living in a 'safe' country before he boarded a dinghy.

It’s good he’s learnt the art of disguise. He’s practically camouflaged with his facial decoration. No one would recognise him. Clever chap. He strikes me as being particularly well-balanced.

Depressing situation. It’s not a good system.
