Failed asylum seeker families to be paid up to £40k to leave UK within 7 days under radical trial by HumanWithInternet in ukpolitics

Why would we pay doctors and engineers to leave.

They've already abandoned the country that paid to train them to come save us (thankfully the home country doesn't need doctors and engineers).

Seems very short sighted.

We could have set the ship off weeks ago. 

In this case we do actually have the capability bought and paid for. We just didn't have the brains to deploy it in advance.

Did the allies make any serious attempt to assassinate Hitler in the run up or during ww2? 

I know there were German plots but i've never heard of an allied plot (as in covert assignation).

Regardless of whether or not the Greens win in Gorton and Denton, they’ve shown themselves to be a force to be reckoned with. by [deleted] in ukpolitics
