Technically brilliant, Ralph was blighted by the twin perils of alcoholism & gambling.

Tim Stanley, in what now appears to be a weekly slot on one or other BBC flagship politics programme, reels off a huge amount of absolute, provable nonsense about immigration.
And he does so completely unchallenged. Enough now. ~AA

This society lauded a police officer who lied and cheated and ruined lives. At last, a reckoning | George Monbiot

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year.
Mainly people escaping Balkan wars.
Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers.
Had you been taken in?
I wouldn’t blame you.
