Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.
Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
You know in ‘Horny’ by Mousse T, when she sings “I sent a message through the Internet but it rejected”? Do you think she’d been blocked by the recipient, or had she just typed their email incorrectly?
Interviewer: We meant do you have any questions about the job.
@andrewcutting1@sam_nore@BBCBreaking You have a 1 in 45 million chance of winning the lottery as opposed to a 1 in 10 chance of an isolated seizure. It is not uncommon and more to the point, supported by the evidence of medical professionals.
@sam_nore@BBCBreaking No, I'm someone who suffered an isolated seizure, in my thirties with no prior warning whatsoever; it happens. Trying to find blame in what is a tragic accident will not bring the children back or any comfort to the families.

"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"
"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"
"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"
"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"
"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"
"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"
"That is your deterrent"
"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"
Very well said @timfarron 👏
