Reform

[cryrst]

Local councils have literally no say in that.

Blimey danh are you on blob 🤬

 

[ASCPFC]

Also be funny when they realise they have no funding whatsoever and nearly every council is balls deep in debt.

I doubt they'll promise 🤞 no council tax rises.

 

[cryrst]

Not with my tiny acorn it doesn't.

Same but I got a lot to push it in with.
Like putting a drawing pin in with a club hammer 😁😁😁

It’s the £22 Billion black hole.
Although 10 billion went to train drivers straight away. Although teachers and junior doctors want a slice so prepare for more tax rises and service cuts.

Lack of funding and Debt created by who? Not reform

Nope. The last 15 years of governments.

If they're Reform councils it'll be too dangerous to have any immigrants at all, anywhere near them. There'll have to be some kind of exclusion zone: like the 48th Parallel or something.
Despite the obvious danger of the far right/ hotel burners, imagine all those diverse people being offended by Reform's fascist rhetoric. They'll need thousands more police to knock at doors of the racist general public! Doesn't even bear thinking about.

Just living in the real world, my friend. (Although still not sure last Saturday was real…)

It's a black hole for thee, but not for me. Which is the opposite of Corbyn's policy.

Yes correct so you believe it will be funny to watch while our local councils struggle with debt and under funding. Maybe this is the reason Reform are making monumental gains.

I hear you bud. Wow and atm I’m a bit after the Lord Mayors show. Hope we can reproduce that in two weeks.

Put a large Council Tax rate on religious institutions. And charge them tax on their profits like everyone else.

It is the reason. But they’re in cuckoo land thinking they have the solutions.

What she will be is an asylum seeker who now has leave to remain and a work permit. They used to call it stamp 4. I didn't quote pounds did I? Not impossible but in Ireland that's the dole in Euro. Despite anything that is said, once you get leave to remain you get all the benefits. She's on an Adult Education course in a further education college - one connected to my organisation. Which is probably why she sat talking to me. She knew my face.
Asylum seekers in the first instance get similar to what you state. Food, accommodation and an allowance - 38 I think. Yet, the issue is no one is refused. No one is deported. Then it's a matter of waiting around maybe 18 months to get full leave to remain and Bob's your uncle.
They generally stay in the free accommodation and work. A double piss take on the homeless Irish.

So we are talking about Ireland and someone who isn’t now an asylum seeker and, for whatever reason, is entitled to benefits. Getting herself educated before setting out on a career makes sense to me. Doesn’t it to you?

I cannot comment on how things work in Ireland other than to state the obvious that it isn’t the same as England.

I think you will find that it was Shakespeare.

How's a Labour government working out for you?

If I'd asked, I'd have probably found she came from England. You're missing the point. What entitlement should anyone have to totally free stuff other than the bare minimum? Why is no one refused? No one is deported - even with crimes. Barely anyone comes from anywhere anything is really happening. Not similar to the UK because you say so? I think people will see the obvious parallels. Perhaps that was my point?

They can’t be any worse (not that I voted for them mind)

The potholes round where I am in Northants are twinned with the Grand Canyon
