And it's utterly disgusting. And disqualifying in my eyes.

"The era of permanent protection is over"
Is this Labour government really saying it was wrong in principle to let these refugees of the last 75 years to stay, settle and become British - and they believe that should NEVER happen again in principle or practice?

I follow a whole bunch of American political commentators on here and not a single one has mentioned Trump announcing overnight that he is suing the BBC.
It’s nothing. They know it’s just a distraction. He won’t win and if he does, it won’t come close to the billions he wants. Carry on.

I wanted to take the pup to Worcester tomorrow morning on the train, however, after the weather today there will be a) no trains running and b) no part of Worcester that won't be under water, so I will change my plans.....

Already half an inch / 13mm has fallen overnight and we probably have the better part of 18 hours of rain to fall 😳

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Heads up, Midlands folk: The weather tomorrow here is going to be very bad. Very strong winds to go with this.
We’ve already had over 40mm of rain in the last week and this could double it.
