Older and maybe wiser. Retired ex VP/CEO of multinational enterprises and not one to suffer fools gladly.

@afneil So the once Defence Minister, who is now the Chancellor, who before Parliament, worked in journalism, disability rights, and trade union campaigns, is now counting the pennies ?
What could possibly go wrong ??

@WhiteLionII1 Are the asylums full or has it escaped ??

@KTHopkins @CPSUK Katie, you are one of the few souls who says what many think, but are too afraid to ask/comment on themselves. Oh, if only there were more 'Katie's' in the world !!

@botsworth80873 @GoodwinMJ The silence is deafening !!
Come on "botsworth", where the counter arguement ??

[Oldtoppie @anotherquery]

@botsworth80873 @GoodwinMJ Grok also uses the nomenclature 'illegal'!!
Annoying isn't it ??

@botsworth80873 @GoodwinMJ So according to you, it's under control & there's really no concern at all about the density of a male dominated non-related unemployable culture invading our shores unabated ! We are a small island with limited infrastructure for those entitled to be here, let alone illegals.

@mrjam54 @GeoffreyLean Because of who we're dealing with here, my belief is that Greenland are simply reinforcing the content of said agreement, so there's zero misunderstanding by the USA or representatives of theirs in the future !!
Sort of a belt & braces exercise !

@ShakeLS @TheGNPE As the arrest of her father is recent and her distancing from him has been for some 8 years, if this was the reason for the estrangement, is she not complicit in her silence and therefore guilty of withholding details of criminality?

@Scott_Lewis82 This will be fun, because if those two are in unison, it'll be Donald contradicting the NATO article 5 rule & climbing into us next.
But, fortunately we have Andy to protect us and make the call ! Time for tin helmets chaps !!!

@bolderston_mark Us humans are resilient beasts having inherent fortitude & however bad things appear to be, there's always that one last push that gets us over the line.
Believe in yourself & hang in there my friend !!

@TheArsenalMind I hear that City's new team song is the Talking Heads classic, Road to Nowhere !!
Remember there are no comments in the results section!

@tracybernedett1 @TheGNPE Because of his desire to perpetuate rather than eliminate the North/South divide, his tenure is already fractured and fraying around the edges !!
He's a mayor at best and certainly no PM and his self destruction clock is ticking !!

@TheDrunkMercian @TheGNPE @grok Of course they do, hence Trump's sudden 'close association/friendship' with President Milei !
With Trump's current oil fixation and attempts by fair means or foul, to dominate/control the market, I see a second 'Venezualen' moment unfolding.
Bully boy Trump is on the move !!

@botsworth80873 @GoodwinMJ Using your bizarre logic, it does seem very odd then that Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Lithuania aren't being flooded then, doesn't it ?

[Oldtoppie @anotherquery]

@botsworth80873 @GoodwinMJ The question is, why they don't settle in the first 'safe' country rather than spend 2000 pounds on a dangerous crossing?
They also do get benefits of healthcare and education for children, while asylum seekers with pending applications may receive accommodation and an allowance.

@qwertyop80 @BBCPolitics Tax avoidance is legal and included in that red block graphic.

@ATaylorFPGA @claire_adams694 Please expand on 'the laziest' and 'easiest times' statements.

[Oldtoppie @anotherquery]

@botsworth80873 @GoodwinMJ Pure and unadulterated 'semantics' !!
Using illegal methodology to achieve an illegal objective, cannot & does not render that action legal.
100% pass through safe countries to achieve their objectives. Benefits and tolerance are the magnets that attract !
