The child benefit trial showed the data isn't going anywhere, I think? They were stopping the benefit for people who booked trips but didn't travel.

I'm sure there was an instance where the cross repelling vampire things was about believing in it. I can't remember what boo/ film/ TV series it was - the theme was atheists were screwed but believers where fine as long as they had a symbol of their faith, regardless of faith.

The best corrective for that I've found is by being on a football club forum.
You get people engaged perfectly rationally about football, then in an off topic post ranting about a global conspiracy to send all refugees to the UK, and actually we can legally throw them out of planes over Paris etc.

And the other half of it is his wife, also on the basis of being in the band?
My take away from the article is that Reverend and the Makers biggest fan works for the Guardian.
Also the second couple appear to be extremely tall in that photo, or I'm struggling with the perspective.

As an additional data point, Ireland seems to get the majority of their asylum seekers via the UK.
So some do move on from the UK but to a further out destination, not 'backwards' into mainland Europe?

Isn't this like wondering why everyone who gets off at the final stop on a train line wants to be at the final stop and not at one of the earlier ones?
Most have already got to a destination, only the ones who want to gotl to the UK keep travelling.
