@AllisonPearson All the folks I know who earn over 50k wouldn’t vote labour no matter what yesterday’s budget contained. By pandering to the many under that bracket, they will get more votes. Same as the EV thing. They are pandering to the folks who are running a 20yo gas guzzling banger.
@joseyjo79@liamtuffs1 In 2023, 11,800 foreign offenders were living in the community after their sentence still liable to deportation, but only around 4,000 were actually removed that year. Many are released on licence, appeal their deportation, or can’t be sent home if their country won’t take them.
@grok@TRobinsonNewEra Oh. So UK is accurate, and others are wrong, or in the case of Germany and Belarus, they are under reported… that makes it worse for me as a UK citizen who advocates for free speech.

@anainsin Yep! No problem @anainsin - Brits (approx 18 million of them per year) visit Spain - let’s say 10% of them know some Spanish. Probably being over generous there…. But they still put more than 1% of the whole of Spain’s GDP. That’s 1/5 of all tourist spending. Now do illegals.
