I wish you hadn't posted that. Its a shame the sentence caps are so low. I also would like to see these people executed and failing that life in prison but looks like a year or two inside is what they're heading for. One of the pictures showing a US psychopath had a pic of Trump in the background. That's at best pretty convenient for the Beeb.

I've bolded the second half of the sentence you conveniently missed off the first time you posted. May I repeat... "If you're relying on "but there are plans..." to state that the initial capacity of 200 per year is somehow "nonsense", then I admire your optimism." May I also repeat... "So what do you think the capacity is? What are your sources?" Looks like your 200 per year figure is nonsense. But, she would not give an assurance it would be able to take the 40,000 people the UK would like to send, merely saying it would be "thousands".www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68961058

I see Britain is happy to more risks than its big brother in allowing UK weapons to be used in Russia proper. I make no comment on whether that is reasonable or not but why not coordinate with the other powers (mainly the US) ? This sort of thing is why more and more knowledgeable people such as current and former senior British army officers are suggesting we we may need to get ready for mass conscription into the armed forces in the UK. " officers are suggesting we may need to get ready for mass conscription " ? . . . I will check theirs account for traces of russian rubles . . . How about Hamish de Bretton-Gordon interviewed for the Times radio. Is he also in on the rubles thing? youtu.be/mPFvwtAsnjs?t=1331

I find having to produce ID at polling booths very annoying. We've managed for all of my lifetime and beyond without them so why now do we suddenly think the same person is going to vote multiple times? What is wrong with our society?

but in the heat of the moment, how could you be sure the crime has already taken place inside home? 🤔 If something has been taken out without authorisation at home, I assume the person is already outside home unless they are lured back in for whatever reason. And would you be thinking about the subtleties of the law when you've got 2 thugs downstairs ?

Another well explained story here doesn't even make clear it was the burglars that were shot by the homeowner not the other way round. That is pretty important. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-68942085Reminds us we live in a country where two thugs can burgle your home at night and the only thing you can do in law is dial 999 for the police to arrive long after you've been burgled, beaten or tied up.

Meanwhile the "unbiased" UK gov funded and controlled state broadcaster does an explainer into why the Russians are displaying US/UK military kit they've captured. I don't recall them doing something similar when there were pictures coming out of Kyiv towards the start of the war showing all the Russian armour. I'm not denying there is quite a big difference given who invaded who but I'd rather read the unvarnished truth than the polished up one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-68934337Pretty sure they did ... probably featured tractors. That said there is a difference between captured foreign military equipment from countries you claim are fighting a proxy war against yourself and captured military equipment from a country everyone knows has invaded you ... thats the context of the report ... If the Ukr captured & displayed a load of Chinese stuff it might get more attention. They definitely covered the display of the russian tanks in central Kyiv but didn't do any kind of "explainer" regarding the thinking of the Kyiv government as to why the display was there

Go somewhere else with your russian rhetoric. Pretending to care about Ukrainians just to subordinate to russia. . . pathetic Oi k6 , get hip to the groove. Angry is not a Russian agent. He is simply a mirror site of the talking points of Youtube influencer Colonel Doubledown McWhackjob. A man who deleted all his Youtube posts from 2022 because they were so wildly wrong. But you can revel in the whole of his 2023 output. This link will provide you with everything you need to know and will provide you with a basic grounding in all of Angrys talking points. www.youtube.com/results?search_query=colonel+Douglas+macgregor+ukraineHave to admit that made me laugh. On a slightly more serious note, is it really true he deleted his posts from 2022?

Although I strongly advise against it since they will not be coming back and will probably have a horrible death in a muddy field somewhere, people who feel that Ukrainians should die instead of negotiating in a war they cannot win should be aware it is possible to volunteer to fight for Ukraine as an overseas national*. * - Which of course they will not do because they do not want to be blown to pieces by Russian Artillery and Thermobaric weapons, it is ok when someone else is dying and suffering of course.. Go somewhere else with your russian rhetoric. Pretending to care about Ukrainians just to subordinate to russia. . . pathetic You are clearly very passionate in your view. Maybe you have some personal reasons like I do. Have you thought about fighting there ? I think you can just go here and begin your journey ildu.com.ua/(and hopefully not end it).

Not sure I get it. UK could send a small number of migrants to Africa. That would put at risk anyone who comes here and thus make the UK unsafe. Their plight and the total lack of understanding of what the issue is amongst the liberal fraternity is at the heart of the problem. It did, until Ireland came up with the cunning plan to change the law to declare the UK safe ... surely you can see the irony. Well they are chain linked I suppose. We declare Rwanda safe and they declare us safe. I dunno sense of humour failure

"So what do you think the capacity is? What are your sources?" Doesnt matter as they will all be in Ireland anyway Unfortunately the Irish have discovered that an open border isnt as wonderful as they thought and that return to sender isnt an option without an EU returns agreement as the UK has to deal with the EU as a whole apparently. Perhaps there is something in the GFA/CTA ti supersede the EU One thing I've wondered is if there essentially is no border north/south how can anyone return anyone anywhere even if there is an agreement?
