A Political Thread pt. 2

[Gavin]

The last bit is always the point

The misinformation around asylum seekers is so frustrating.

The term illegal immigrant is batted around by politicians and commentators, but it is not illegal to entry the UK via boat.

If you enter via a boat and claim asylum you are not illegal. You are only illegal if your asylum claim is rejected and you remain within the UK.

 

[Becca]

There is also a stark difference between asylum seekers and economic migrants.

Elon Musk taking legal action over Twitter account that tracks his private jet

Twitter's owner says an account tracking his private jet has put his son's safety at risk.

So he's now trying to take legal action over someone posting publicly available information. So much for free speech. This guy is such a hypocritical bell end.

Tax rates to rise for higher earners in Scotland

The higher rate of income tax will go up from 41p to 42p in the pound and the top rate from 46p to 47p.

www.bbc.co.uk

Will there be many high(er) rate earners left in Scotland after this?

It's definitely the fat fu@#ers in the ticket office's fault. Train companies making a profit, substandard train service compared to other countries, packed over crowded trains, probably set the pay scales for his train driving mates.

Sack 'em all off. Driverless trains, barriers and ticket machines in stations is all you need. They can go work for the NHS they have vacancies.

Still not sure if this is a joke or real...

Honestly think it's real. His fan base will literally buy **** from him if he stuck a trump sticker on it. He crowd funds for legal fees, he sells them **** hats. Why not some shitty cards too?

He's getting desperate to keep the cash cow going.

I recon his "advisors" have a bet going on for who can get him to do Trump top Trumps where they rate their family members. Donald Trump of course is a 10 on all stats. After that, Trump Top Dumps? Wouldn't put it past his lunatic base.

Brixton Academy: What happened in the crush?

Social media videos and eyewitness accounts show a crush, the venue doors breached and violent clashes.

www.bbc.co.uk

Not exactly sure what happened here. Did they oversell tickets or were a bunch of people simply trying to force their way in for free? Either way, it's a disgrace. TBH don't really see what the police could have done here other than riot tactics and why would anyone be that desperate to get into a gig, especially if it turns out they didn't buy a ticket?

I am sure it'll come out in any subsequent report/investigation in the matter.

Personally, it's why I will never choose standing only at any sporting/musical event. Just risks crushing like we saw in the video footage and especially after reading the Hillsborough report. Just risks Too many people in too confined a space and no where to go.
