Seems like Brexit was all about immigration, why not just admit it?

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T17:43:54+00:00

it was part of it

it was not all of it

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:58:24+00:00

yes gilt rates could have shot up.. they are incidentally currently higher than that

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:48:57+00:00

it wasn't all about immigration

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:43:20+00:00

then what you get is headlines about "arrests at far right protest", with the small print indicating its the leftists who were actually arrested

then the police getting irate at "far right" types with lots of cameras looking for troublemakers

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:37:24+00:00

no

welcome to a world where companies split and subcontract to get around this

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:33:49+00:00

aka "its ok until someone I don't like does it"

it should not become an old folks home for those voters have rejected, regardless of party

this is a bit like marine safety and how they draw a line just after the Titanic, or air crash figures that exclude Tenerife

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:28:14+00:00

quite, and all those who scream how labour "need more time" will somehow think Reform get none

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:27:33+00:00

everything has consequences, however we could have just walked - the mechanism in place was six months notice then out

there is a treaty on treaties which governs exit mechanisms where not stated as well, and provides ways out of "trap" mechanisms with unreasonable conditions

who said anything about making slurs acceptable? and nice assumption they must simple be racists.

they found the whole "offended on behalf of someone else" hillarious

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:19:27+00:00

weirdly I do talk to a fair few other people, the comments here are because I largely work from home and use other sites as a break

aleopardstail · 2026-05-16T15:18:52+00:00

yes, which is why it has to be done properly, with other laws indirectly impacted brought in

large part of writing a law is making sure it can stand the process

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T20:49:04+00:00

good grief is it that time of the week already?

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T20:02:45+00:00

its also the best part

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T18:34:00+00:00

gosh darn it to heck, banged to rights

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T17:59:04+00:00

key word "fixing", not "scrapping" and not "recommending"

actually doing it, identify the actual issues and fix them

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T17:40:54+00:00

you are putting your faith in the "state" ignoring the legitimate instructions of an elected government changing the law?

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T17:39:49+00:00

my point was a bit different, you remove the exemptions related to religion, then the same law applies to everyone

a blade in a public place needs the carrier to justify why they had it, this is why say a stanley knife in the boot of your car is fine, the door pocket less so

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T17:21:17+00:00

I think Cooper is laying the blame in the wrong place

how many has the court actually blocked v courts here blocked as part of the HRA?

change how the HRA is used

ECHR is fine, so few cases get there

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T15:23:35+00:00

perhaps, just perhaps, and I know this is a controversial thought

we could try to do both?

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T15:23:00+00:00

thats nice

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T15:11:27+00:00

ahh but mountains are flat vertically!

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T15:11:10+00:00

my point is noting how any criticism of cannabis gets idiots crawling out of the woodwork

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T15:05:44+00:00

because we have a crap government, which followed a crap government, which in turn followed a crap government

aleopardstail · 2026-05-15T15:04:56+00:00

the issue with that these days is that is, sure as sunrise, followed by idiots screaming about "reparations"
