There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Never mind Ed Koch more like Fiorello La Guardia.

Curtis sliwa wasn't he a vigilante gang member in the 80's

Poor old Ed koch must be turning in his grave.

Arf! Good time to have shares in Butterkist.

You read my mind.

Coming to a Mini-mart near YOU.

It won't stop the boats and it won't stop the illegals finding ways to work.

The time has come to draw the line and seriously implement a two-pronged attack on the clear cause of the problem:

1. No immigration of any sort for 12 - 18 months. Just wait in the queue like everybody else.
2. Get rid of any illegals the instant they're identified. Cut off all communication channels for them until they're out of the country.

The only exceptions to this are state fuck-ups where the authorities have, in a weapons-grade strop, deliberately dragged their heels over situations arising directly from things like Brexit & Windrush which they should be forced to correct with nobody deported for such reasons (unless they're criminals/wrong'uns).

Apologies all, my post should have read defunding the police an nationalising grocery shops.

They'll likely be an exodus now, similar to the one in California.

Faux, angry middle aged men?

You need to add women to that sentence.

And it’s in our lifetimes that the country has been allowed, encouraged even, to go to pot, hence that anger. Particularly as legitimate concerns expressed for years have been shouted down and ignored, and now when the situation is untenable those same concerns are all of a sudden legitimate things that need tackling according to our political classes. The same political classes that shut down those concerns for the best part of three decades.

If it was apathetic middle aged men and women, then that really would be time to turn the lights off.

Billy, nope the BBC can’t help themselves you’re right.

They’re like a particularly ‘Right on’ HR department running a public funded broadcasting company. If anyone wanted to look at the crux of what the fucking hell has gone wrong in the last 30 years, then the BBC would be a great starting point.

this is what Rachel from account’s doesn’t seem to understand.
its the people not working (and getting a 4% rise in benefits) that need to be targeted. You can’t just keep taxing working people.

i wonder how many more people will leave the U.K. because of this?

The government is a PR disaster at the moment.

New York have a new Mayor. They have voted in a communist Muslim who is quite clearly mad. His proposals include a rent freeze, free bus travel, defending the police and rationalising grocery shops. He also wants to tax the rich (who will flee) to extremes in order to fund his ideas.

To me gammon is a racist slur given it's a pejorative term expressly targeted as white citizens with a right wing political persuasion.

Care to apologise for your racist slur, Sven?

Care to censor that poster for his use of a racist slur, Mods?

The BBC just can't stop themselves can they.
Been caught red handed deliberately 'doctoring' footage of Trump to make it look like he as ordering his followers to march and create mayhem at the Capitol. 
Refund the shitshow, shouldn't have to be forced to pay for such a stinking corrupt organisation.

I'd like Reform to cancel all spending and close the fucking shit down.
