We have an obligation in law to spend a minimum of 0.5% of GNI on foreign aid, and a target spend of 0.7% to satisfy international agreement via the UN. It isn't a choice, its an obligation. This was made law in 2015, not last month when Labour took over.
I am sure the false quote attributed to Kahn about him introducing "shakira" law to London was about his politics. The hips don't lie.
There was a video with false subtitles of Kahn supposedly saying he would build 46,000 new homes for young Muslims, and provide free education and training for...
I heard someone on the radio make a nice distinction as to where our problems lie, she said, the problem is not the people in the dinghies, it's the people in the yachts.
I am going to switch sides here for a moment, and suggest that people that are fleeing persecution, or war, may have some mental health problems, so giving asylum to genuine refugees of this kind, might be detrimental to the UK.
And now I shall switch back, and say, let's show these people some...
What is your agenda? You seem desperate to convince us that the UK is a dangerous place to live, and that somehow it would be much safer without immigration. Why?
I don't know when you left, but I bet there was more violence here then than today, and if immigration is higher than when you left...
If you scroll down and click on the tab labelled "London Violence", you mean?
And it isn't all today's news.
Murder rate in UK v Aus is higher, but it seems aussie blokes kill their wives and kids much more than we do.
I wasn't referencing any article. You can argue some aspects of immigration are negative, but not its overall impact on economy growth, in that area it is beneficial. Its just a fact.
Because the positive effect was not enough to fully overcome the economic difficulties Covid and Brexit placed on us.
The riots have caused some foreign students planning on enrolling in UK universities to think again, so thanks for that added little hit to the economy, Farageists.
About time we had 4 wins on the trot.
About time Van Hecke scores a Goal.
About time we score more from corners than we concede.
About time we don't sell POTS in the summer window.
A large portio of the cost of Housing asylum seekers comes out of the Foreign aid budget, at least it did under Tories. So if all you care about is the UK, spending money in the UK rather than overseas, is economically beneficial.
Fairly nice demonstration that you probably are gripping a beer bottle whilst posting, no relevance to the post quoted.
As for the make up of the UK population 25% might be right, it's supposedly 30% in Australia, if immigration is so detrimental, it must be really shit out there.
