And now briefing that they want to follow the Danish system… one of the toughest, apparently… to reduce the “pull” effect.
Denmark, proud member of EU.
Denmark, adherent to ECHR.
Denmark, that lets asylum seekers work.
🙄

1975 was my o-level year.
Music was good, but power cuts, 3-day week were recent memory; strikes were common, and the NF “bookshop” was in full flood in Bexleyheath.
Harold Wilson as PM, offering stability after two general elections in ‘74😀
Nah… I don’t think 1975 was all that good!

Which in the headline case failed because the lady concerned never boarded the flight.

Fundamental problem is that UK does not have any outbound passport checks.
(Unlike almost every other civilised country)
This leads to multiple problems resulting from not knowing who is in the country.

So he suggests saving £100,000,000.
UK State Pension spend is £140,000,000,000 p/a.
NHS is £188,000,000,000 p/a.

Kruger's saving is around 0.7% of that.
Barely a rounding error. Irrelevant.

I recall a figure 182 times larger being plastered on the side of buses 10 yrs ago. Kruger lacks ambition.

Dad was in the Army (infantry/artillery/tanks) from 39-47. France/Germany and India. Saw some stuff post D-Day he never spoke about.
He remembered quietly, wore his poppy (from 1 Nov), but never, never, ever went to any parades or marches.
He would be appalled at the current "Poppy Christmas".

And each of those lies was promulgated through Facebook advertising

Not just an Asian thing: close friends of mum and Dad were referred to as Uncle or Aunt when I was a kid (south-East England, going back several generations)

The image of the Churchill statue is not EXACTLY the same, but it shows the same bystanders, pictured walking along.
So EITHER the person who posted the second (racist) image had access to two consecutive images on the device from which both posts were made, OR was standing next to MG at the time 🤔

That’s the one. Drunk at the time, I believe.

Didn’t he say that if anyone asked a trader to fill in a form, said trader was to send that form to Downing Street?

If these “studies” don’t conform to OECD principles then surely they won’t be usable for any licence application in any civilised jurisdiction. (EMA, MHRA, Health Canada, TGA, MHW, ANVISA… looking at you!)

It’s a reference to a character in Martin Chuzzlewit written by Charles Dickens

Why bother with UK-written “interpretations”? They’re about as reliable as the English-language free-sheets on the Costa del Sol!
(And I include much of the rubbish written by UK.Gov in this.)
Go to the primary source on .europa.eu websites.

travel-europe.europa.eu/ees/to-whom-...

It also makes impossible any return to the EU
(BUT it might make it easier for UK citizens to claim asylum in the EU)

Do they actually mean “the Council of Europe”?

“Europe's oldest intergovernmental organisation, representing 46 member states”

Maybe UK should withdraw from all other international bodies? Starting with the UN?

It’s like the exclusion of UK from parts of the Galileo satnav system.
UK was utterly opposed to Third Countries having access to the high-resolution/military parts. Then screamed in pain when the same reasoning was applied to UK as a Third Country.
Decisions have consequences.

Nothing to do with CTA or GFA.
Cyprus is not in Schengen, so Cypriots go through passport controls, same as Irish passport holders, but are not subject to the same limitations (90/180, EES, ETAIS) as UK or Canadian passport holders.

Of course EU would have us back, so long as the Art 49 application and the following due diligence demonstrates commitment to the founding principles of the EU and the aquis.
With two significant political parties promising to withdraw UK from the ECHR, though, that commitment appears very shallow.
