"President Joe Biden on Wednesday called close US ally Japan “xenophobic” at a Washington, D.C., fundraiser, just weeks after lauding the US-Japan alliance at a state dinner. The president made the remark while arguing that Japan, along with Russia and China, would perform better economically if the countries embraced immigration more. “You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” Biden said, according to reporters traveling with the president at a fundraiser with Asian American and Pacific Islander supporters. “The reason – look, think about it. Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia?” “Because they’re xenophobic,” he said. “They don’t want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong.”"

"What matters is the number of extra (unplanned-for) people coming into a country, not how they got there. By using a formal, official immigration process, immigrants, in known numbers can be accommodated by the long term planning process. Just rocking up (and demanding benefits ahead of the existing aboriginal population) just fucks things up for everybody else."

"It’s bollocks to blame the UK. Project Ireland has been policy for years ‘ The aim of Project Ireland 2040 is to construct an improved Ireland for all of us. By 2040, there will be approximately one million additional people living here in Ireland. ’ Where are one million extra people likely to be arriving from? Why are they planning to increase the population by 20% of non Irish ethnicities? They currently have 73,000 immigrants. They intend to increase the numbers by 927,000 people over the next 17 years. Undocumented arrivals are a drop in the ocean compared to the scale of immigration the Irish plan to receive. It’s a load of bollocks. The Irish people who weren’t asked about Project Ireland 2040 in the first place have protested increasingly about immigrants since an Algerian thought it was desirable to stab a 7 year old girl and her mother in Dublin a few months ago. Handy to blame the UK, so they can backtrack or at least claim innocence now"

"Ireland is considering making further cuts to support and benefits for Ukrainian refugees, as it struggles to house rising numbers of migrants arriving in the country. Ministers will discuss immigration in Dublin on Thursday afternoon, a day after Rishi Sunak and Simon Harris, the Irish Prime Minister, clashed over claims that asylum seekers were crossing the border from Northern Ireland to escape the Rwanda plan"

"*sighs This is that BBC text “The Russian authorities want the public to think that the war in Ukraine and World War Two have a common denominator: Russia as the victim, under attack from enemies abroad. In reality, the two wars are very different. In 1941 Germany invaded Russia. In 2022 Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.” What is popular in Russia at the moment is merely a reflection of the current Kremlin interest. If you don’t get this, there really is no point talking about this with you. Meanwhile reports of the Kremlin using banned chemical weapons on the front emerging today."

You seem to have changed the subject Pickle. Most of us are quite keen to hear how you first came across this Ukrainian performer.

No longer interested in sharing the Kremlin propaganda around Ukraine receiving military support from the US and the civilised world? What happened SBT2? I hope it was a rather severe bump on the head.

Well done Twundle. But it’s time to come to terms with it - people don’t normally give you much credit for getting the day of the week right. Can you read an analogue watch face?
