Well BadEnoch attacked hard when she claimed Labour had taxed to pay benefits. Clearly the Tories care more about their assets than 450,000 kids they put into poverty. It was a well aimed and in many ways clever budget.

Still, it seems the Tories are still child catchers.

If staff feel intimidation, then it is reasonable for them to not enter such properties.

Of course this may result in some people being tarred by the brush of the flagshaggers and being refused service. Perhaps the flagshaggers should hear in mind the collateral damage of their action.

As I see it the ‘plan’ has a hidden benefit. It seems to remove any arguments against processing asylum applications in France which may be enough to stop the boats.

A bit extreme, though making them donate kidneys did come to mind.

As with the storm troopers, it will be their bosses that go on trial.

Absolutely. The numbers indicate the real size of the Asylum issue. That’s without getting into the fake arguments given traction by the far right and repeated by the mass media. Get all the poverty stricken including the asylum seekers into work. There are plenty of vacancies.

Which have become safe after six months, making a mockery of the measure, I think it creates conditions to misuse visas to claimants IN FRANCE and then review them again after six months. Only one negative - what about tracing them at which the Home Office has proved totally incompetent?

So now the US has an expensive fool in charge.
