@Sargon_of_Akkad Politicians have made decisions that benefit their constituencies for ever. And by definition that punishes all other constituencies. HTH

Unsurprisingly, punitive politics are unpopular with the electorate.

@PeterJa59355591 @JuliaHB1 @SiLang65607 @DPJHodges You forgot to mention this bit: the UK often accepted more people into the country (for family reunification) than it successfully removed to other EU states. For example, in 2018, while 209 people were transferred out, 1,215 people were transferred into the UK under the reg.

@Bots_Rule @JuliaHB1 @SiLang65607 @DPJHodges A few hundred a year cock-there weren’t any small boat crossings though.

One positive thing I would say about Reform's new policy. At least they're finally being honest about the fact they don't have a solution that involves actually turning back the boats at source.

@EyesOnProof @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton You appear to not understand things that you don't want to agree with. It's called cognitive dissonance.

@Bots_Rule @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton Oh go away Bot, your repeating yourself and it's boring.

Reform says it will build new immigration centres in areas that vote Green. Democratic politics is not punitive. Authoritarian politics is. Illegal immigration policy, including the location of any detention centres, should be based on national objectives and requirements, security, operational necessity, efficiency, and logistics such as access to airfields for removal, not on punishing whole communities for how some - perhaps a minority - of them voted. As a policy is not only inefficient, it’s confrontational and deliberately divisive. It’d set voters against voters and councils against central government when the real task is to restore national control. Furthermore, detention centres should be offshore, or at least remote and secure, not dumped into population centres as a political stunt. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/0…

@PeterJa59355591 @JuliaHB1 @SiLang65607 @DPJHodges The Dublin Agreement that deported .... how many?

@JuliaHB1 @SiLang65607 @DPJHodges You knew what you were voting for Julia? Ripping up the Dublin agreement.

@foidologist @ZiaYusufUK Ian blocks me because I refused to respond to his rant (which he laughingly called analysis). eg, yesterday Reform announced a new POLICY. Ian thinks the Lords would block that POLICY. He's a clown.

@ianhamilton_ @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK So your whole point is the Reform won't get a majority. Thanks for your opinion. I disagree.

Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will. This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy. votegreengetillegals.com

@EyesOnProof @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton The. Court. Disagreed. With. You.

I pity the fool that pities the fool… He’s a charlatan. He’s already played this game with numbers before and you’re falling for it again. Now it’s 24k detained being sold like it solves everything, while no one’s mentioning the other 970,000+ undocumented. What’s the plan for them?

@RomanNumerals @Marcus___007 Cope

@Marcus___007 I think you might mean wait until 2029. Farage and Reform will be a busted flush by then.

In the last 24hrs, the left have gone from insisting mass uncontrolled placement of free roaming illegal immigrants in your community is good but that detainment of illegal immigrants in theirs is bad Migrants in your town is enrichment In theirs it's a punishment Funny that

@pro_multis @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK Explain.

@Bots_Rule @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK The last government's Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act 2024 provides most recent practical example.

@EyesOnProof @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton Nope. Politicians state the best case. If you don't know that then I pity you.

@Bots_Rule @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton Not really disagreeing with me, saying it should’ve been phrased differently proves the point. £350m headline, £250m reality. Big difference.

@ianhamilton_ @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK And Reform will form the next Government and have a Parliamentary majority. So, with that cleared up, explain what laws they cannot change. Thanks.

@Bots_Rule @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK No, they can't. Sounds like you don't know what government is. Government and parliament are different things buddy. Parliament passes laws. Laws are called "acts of parliament".

@ddbetty @OurShallowState Outliers = one of the world's leading scientists. Dismissed because she has the wrong views. You are being conned.

@Bots_Rule @OurShallowState Bye. Make stuff up with someone else. You stick with the outliers, I will trust the mainstream that have shown they are correct for over half a century.

My good friend Dave in the UK tells me that Trump's ultimatums, market manipulations, and disdain for NATO, as disturbing as they are, are less disturbing than the continued enablement of Trump by GOP elected officials. He says the global mindset among politically astute pro-democracy world citizens, is that it's the GOP Congress that is killing America. Nobody weeps for the Iranian regime, Dave says, but the world sees the Iranian people as real flesh and blood people with families and dreams and emotions, they see Trump as disordered, his cabinet as unchecked, and the rest of the GOP as being purely motivated by politics and political gain without consideration of what's good or what's right. Dave believes many GOP elected officials are in favor of staying in power by upending the midterm elections.

@pro_multis @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK Can you explain what laws a Reform majority Government could not change? Thanks.

@Bots_Rule @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK The government is the legislature. You know Porter v Magil isn’t about legality, right?

@EyesOnProof @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton The court disagrees with you. Lady Justice Rafferty even remarked that there likely would have been no legal complaint at all if the claim had been correctly phrased as "£350 million per week gross, or £250 million per week net". [1, 2, 3]

@Bots_Rule @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton Because it ignored the rebate and money that came back. £350m wasn’t the real net contribution.

@CbrandtChris @JohnCleese What are you on about?

@JohnCleese U know he was arrested in 2006. We need GW, Obama, Trump, Biden- to explain why this is nearly impossible to send ppl to jail without dna, video, etc. it’s shameful- all of them …

Pity that The Supreme Court is helping Trump to get a third term But six of them are Catholics, so they are used to totalitarianism

@EyesOnProof @outsider_trade @_HenryBolton Why do you believe the £350m thing wasn't true?

@outsider_trade @_HenryBolton Was sceptical of Farage at first (Brexit, £350m stuff), but no one else seemed to back business owners. His policies appealed more than the man. Now though, the party feels off, more antics than leadership. Not for me anymore.

@ddbetty @OurShallowState You say the opinion of Judith Curry (for example) is wrong.

@Bots_Rule @OurShallowState Wrong about what exactly?

@ianhamilton_ @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK Governments cannot change laws? Fooking HILARIOUS.

@Bots_Rule @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK That's not how laws and governments work, buddy. Governments don't have that authority. This isn't the USA.

@pro_multis @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK You know a Government can change all laws, right? Genius.

@Bots_Rule @foidologist @ZiaYusufUK It's case law, genius.
