our rules have been some of the tightest on the planet since 2010, if not *the* tightest*, and far in excess of other tight nations in almost every visa criteria you can think of. conflating number of visas issued as evidence of easiness while ignoring rules applied to *individuals*, is very silly

I hope this spreads. As an old person with nearly 50 years of industry knowledge, I'm sick of management trying to ram AI down our throats, which convinces new hires that they don't need to learn how to do anything and by God, they are not learning how to do anything. I will be in my glory.

Monica Coglan was cross-examined for 13 hours by Archer’s lawyers in the libel trial. She was frequently in tears as her entire life and character was attacked. She died in a car crash before Archer was found guilty of perjury in that trial. Before it was found she’d told the truth all along.

Isabel Oakeshott is such a rotter. "The British state is no longer working in the interests of the British people. We are being forced to pay for policies that demonstrably endanger the public... divert billions from declining public services" That's Brexit right there, thanks to your mates, Issy
Series of hateful xenophobic lying tweets by Isabel Oakeshott this morning on X-Twitter 

I UNDERSTAND that three more boat loads of migrants are on their way to the UK - thanks to @thenowherephoto for monitoring. No wonder! We are now treating the new arrivals like international VIPs

The @RNLI -a very fine charity - is now acting as a tool of the state. The transfer of illegal immigrants from France to Britain is a state sponsored operation. It has nothing to do with saving lives at sea. By getting involved, the RNLI is aiding and abetting the invasion of our country.

The British state is no longer working in the interests of the British people. We are being forced to pay for policies that demonstrably endanger the public, are creating a national security emergency, and divert billions from declining public services. This simply cannot go on.
