To be honest, it's shameful that we can't process these people in a short period of time and then kick their chancer asses out of the country. It's a total failure of a government, who have refused to staff the immigration service properly or enforce proper discipline on any staff that refuse to do their job. Whatever your politics, nobody should have to wait years for a decision. In the meantime, we have to address their reason's for them coming. Access to welfare, healthcare and housing needs to be tightened up

It was always an idiotic, unworkable and hideously expensive "plan", and I don't for a moment think that there was ever any intention of implementing it - or stopping/reducing legal or illegal immigration. What it was, however, was a very convenient way to create distraction headlines on demand. Boris flies to Kyiv to derail peace talks and prolong the war - distraction. Excess deaths that may be a consequence of dodgy vaccines - distraction. They think we're stupid - and for the most part, they're right.

I went out looking for fish but found two tick nymphs instead .The river when I almost fell in it was low and so clear you could only just see it was water only the streamer weed moving gave it away. Owner of field cannot afford to get field cut as the price has doubled so it's head high across the field .I guess even red diesel is expensive (eh cod ?) I cant wait to see all these electric tractors one man band farmers cannot afford .I guess putting them out of business indirectly is better than the Netherlands way they simply fold because of the price of brand new versions instead of keeping their old fergies and internationals going hopefully such things are given a miss in the frenzy to obey the WEF

I am quite lucky (or unlucky) I have a couple of hundred yards of bank about 200 yards away and another 600 about half a mile away and another mile 2 miles away .There's also the pond I used to bailiff but I am not going to fork out a £100 just to fish that my ages past outings of going fishing scores of miles away by public transport beyond my pocket and to strenuous to make any sense . The unlucky bit is despite free fishing there's **** all to catch ! What the cormerants and crayfish miss the EA remove no doubt because the fluff chuckers insist the non fluff chucking scum get their filthy common fish out of their river . The rivers massively declined even since 1985 when we moved here the EA couldn't run a pissup in a barrel the once crystal clear stretch with its shoals of chub and dace at gostrey meadows and the maltings is a cloudy silting up disgrace even the eastern Europeans " no speaky English" in the close season eat fest are rare
