@nazirafzal There are frequent examples of soft sentences for serious crimes based on ‘excuses’ which are in the public’s mind very weak. There are so many I can’t even be bothered to list any.
@TRobinsonNewEra As a former teacher I find this shocking. Teachers are entitled to their views like everyone. However, given their position and influence, their views need to be informed and nuanced. They should also have some understanding and appreciation of opposing views.
@CDP1882@GBNEWS So if I start a new faith which requires me to carry a ceremonial gun. Are we going to argue that overshadows the more general public good and safety?
@BritIndianVoice I agree with this entirely. However, controlling access to benefits for those who come here illegally would not affect hardworking families like this.
@Badman_Blaze @TheGriftReport@GriftReport He deserves what happens to him. However, there needs to be a discussion of the wisdom of the decisions that lead to this situation.
@broadwaybabyto@KnowCee02 Notwithstanding those who are incapable of work ( many disabled people do work of course) Whatever is done, we have to make work pay and idleness not. For years a a newlywed with kids and on income we had to do without loads. Years before non camping hols, new furniture, a car.
@AvonandsomerRob I’m sure there’s a simple system through HMRC to allow access for those who have lived here for a while and paid in. Plus as he suggested after 20 years they can more easily apply for citizenship. The current system is unsustainable. Many of his points make sense.
