I worry that in the time between now and then, they will re open the barely healed divisions of the referendum, using the same tools of immigration fears and border controls, ECHR preventing us from securing the borders, Labour willing to cede sovereignty to ECHR, etc. to get enough support to...

I don't see a pathway either, but I can see challenges to the laws and conventions put in place to try and prevent that from ever being a possibility. If those safe guards are removed, then we are one big step closer to it becoming possible.

In all those degrees of nasty murderous, leaders/regimes, you will find that the victims of their crimes were first described as a problem group of people, weakening the country, and then often had laws changed to allow them to be treated differently from other people. Linekers tweet described...

The Bill the Government is proposing will fail because it contravenes Human rights conventions that we are signed up to, so why are they doing it? Two possible reasons I can think of; 1) They can make an argument for leaving these barriers to their proposed policy, and then either try again, or...

Labour propose investing money going after the criminal gangs that organise the crossings, rather than locking up the people they have transported, and processing claims in a more timely manner so that hotel bills are not running into millions per day. They do not state it, but I suspect they...

A higher percentage of claims are successful here than in France, I don't know the reasons for this. Maybe we have criteria easier to meet, or maybe applicants that are risking their lives to get here are generally more likely to be genuine, because you are not going to risk your life if you...

The Dublin agreement gives weight to an asylum seeker in the EU having that application go to a country where they have family connections, it also makes it clear that an asylum claimant cannot apply in multiple EU states. So yes, whilst we were in the agreement, it allowed some applicants to be...

Since then though, no need to choose, you can try in France or Germany for asylum, and if that fails, get to the UK and try again.

120,000 asylum claims in France last year, 72,000 in the UK. 3/4 of those applying in France will fail on average, and since leaving the EU, anyone that has a failed asylum claim in France, can try again in the UK if they can get here. Whilst we were in the EU, a failed asylum claim in another...

If the UK bars a group of people from recourse to the law, as is proposed, that is a massive step in that direction.

And remembered that someone recommended it on here ten years ago? Good memory I guess.

I have seen it a few times and have not developed a goose step yet. I would be a little concerned about someone choosing to watch it frequently, but that would be true of a lot of war movies. I suspect anti terror police have found "Zulu" in the DVD collection of far right nutters more than...

I am curious as to how you came to respond to a post from 10 yrs ago?

Flash Gordon always comes to mind with Topol, but then I do love that Movie.

I have been trained by Potter to appreciate the performance, regardless of the result. But De Zerbi has got me dreaming of giving up our Europa League qualification from winning the FA Cup, to 6th in the PL because we have CL Qualification by finishing 3rd in the PL, so winning all 3 keeps that...

Good call from Ale I reckon.

Doesn't seem the sort of value we would look for, that's about £100k per week.

Another idea could be to create large banners or flags featuring the team's logo, slogans, or images of key players, and distribute them throughout the stadium before the game. Fans could also bring in noise-making devices such as drums, vuvuzelas, or horns to add to the energy and excitement of...

He will get offers from clubs able to pay higher wages, and have greater chance of winning things, could happen, but unlikely.
