Spotted in London...

Which one is more English?

Which in the headline case failed because the lady concerned never boarded the flight.

Fundamental problem is that UK does not have any outbound passport checks.
(Unlike almost every other civilised country)
This leads to multiple problems resulting from not knowing who is in the country.

So he suggests saving £100,000,000.
UK State Pension spend is £140,000,000,000 p/a.
NHS is £188,000,000,000 p/a.

Kruger's saving is around 0.7% of that.
Barely a rounding error. Irrelevant.

I recall a figure 182 times larger being plastered on the side of buses 10 yrs ago. Kruger lacks ambition.

Dad was in the Army (infantry/artillery/tanks) from 39-47. France/Germany and India. Saw some stuff post D-Day he never spoke about.
He remembered quietly, wore his poppy (from 1 Nov), but never, never, ever went to any parades or marches.
He would be appalled at the current "Poppy Christmas".

I recall in the 60s, Remembrance Day was one solemn Sunday morning. That was it.
It was a moving occasion at our local memorial and attended by actual WW1 and WW2 veterans. Unlike the mawkish weeks long competition for the most tasteless display of a poppy that it's become
Often, less is more.

And each of those lies was promulgated through Facebook advertising

Not just an Asian thing: close friends of mum and Dad were referred to as Uncle or Aunt when I was a kid (south-East England, going back several generations)

HOW TO INTERVIEW FASCISTS

The image of the Churchill statue is not EXACTLY the same, but it shows the same bystanders, pictured walking along.
So EITHER the person who posted the second (racist) image had access to two consecutive images on the device from which both posts were made, OR was standing next to MG at the time 🤔

That’s the one. Drunk at the time, I believe.

Didn’t he say that if anyone asked a trader to fill in a form, said trader was to send that form to Downing Street?

If these “studies” don’t conform to OECD principles then surely they won’t be usable for any licence application in any civilised jurisdiction. (EMA, MHRA, Health Canada, TGA, MHW, ANVISA… looking at you!)

It’s a reference to a character in Martin Chuzzlewit written by Charles Dickens

Why bother with UK-written “interpretations”? They’re about as reliable as the English-language free-sheets on the Costa del Sol!
(And I include much of the rubbish written by UK.Gov in this.)
Go to the primary source on .europa.eu websites.

travel-europe.europa.eu/ees/to-whom-...

It also makes impossible any return to the EU
(BUT it might make it easier for UK citizens to claim asylum in the EU)

All EU members must sign up to the ECHR, because it is a legal obligation under the Treaty of Lisbon. So of course parties in England who don't want the UK to rejoin the EU would much prefer we left it.

Do they actually mean “the Council of Europe”?

“Europe's oldest intergovernmental organisation, representing 46 member states”

Maybe UK should withdraw from all other international bodies? Starting with the UN?

It’s like the exclusion of UK from parts of the Galileo satnav system.
UK was utterly opposed to Third Countries having access to the high-resolution/military parts. Then screamed in pain when the same reasoning was applied to UK as a Third Country.
Decisions have consequences.

Nothing to do with CTA or GFA.
Cyprus is not in Schengen, so Cypriots go through passport controls, same as Irish passport holders, but are not subject to the same limitations (90/180, EES, ETAIS) as UK or Canadian passport holders.

Of course EU would have us back, so long as the Art 49 application and the following due diligence demonstrates commitment to the founding principles of the EU and the aquis.
With two significant political parties promising to withdraw UK from the ECHR, though, that commitment appears very shallow.

If it looks like an economic migrant, and behaves like an economic migrant, then it probably is an economic migrant (both incoming and outgoing). Certain parties should be celebrating his departure as it fits their political agenda to expel all immigrants.

Why do they continue to lie, given the amount of public domain evidence that is available?
They really do believe that we are simple, uneducated, unintelligent peons fit only to do their bidding.

It won’t be a new de Gaulle blocking entry, it’ll be successive UK govts submitting and then withdrawing Art49 application.
The process of alignment will in any case have to drag on to unwind divergences that have been embedded (see chemical, agro/vet and pharmaceutical sectors for examples)

Indiana Jones and the robbed-out Medieval foundations that showed a really strong signal on the geophys but didn’t seem to link up with any other feature on site except the late 1950s land drain… (and had a Marathon wrapper at the bottom)

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

They must be the lanyard class, hated by Lord Glassman

Is he implying something about the British migrants in parts of Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca?

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists."

The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!
