Question Time

Agenda alert - you could argue with this firefighter that 30mph, 40mph, 50mph all have the same impact unless........... they attend an emergency shout using sirens and blue lights then limits can be disregarded when circumstances allow - such a non-argument

I don't understand. Did you miss his point? On-call firefighters don't have blue lights when driving to the fire station.

It's unlikely to cost more lives than lower speeds will save.

The haunted pencil is on it tonight. Let’s see what bullshit he comes out with!

Chaos, perfectly summed up.

He is using that plum in mouth accent to gaslight the audience - they don't seem to be buying it plus like them all he is very averse to being counter questioned.

Apparently Mogg thinks people come across for the standard of living, obviously so rich to not understand what middle England is going through.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Mogg still describing Braverman's letter as a resignation letter.
She was sacked.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

**** telling us where our money is going.

love how people from Bridgewater in Somerset are so worried about small boats - just echecked on a map and I cannot see they have a Channel coast........... do they maybe come up on the Severn Bore?

I don't think that's really a relevant position. It does make a difference to towns not on the south coast.

The town of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire is near the Wash and has almost run out of hotels as the council (county, I think) has dictated that they take in asylum seekers.

when the question is Stop The Boats you are wrong. What you describe is the distribution of migrants when they get here and that is not about the boats thats about inept and inactive government. When you buy the Stop The Boats as the nub of the issue then you buy their distraction from their own ineptitude.
Look at the stats and ask why is it - coincidentally - that from the date 2 years ago when we severed all ties with the EU and so had no access to any returns agreements coz Frosty the Showman and Johnson were inept liars that the numbers rocketed? Do you not think that maybe traffickers were telling migrants "give us your cash and once you hit the beach you are sorted. They just cut off ALL their chances to deport you."

Everyone’s taxes are being consumed by the issue so location is irrelevant.

The illegal border crossing data for the EU more than doubled between 2020 and 2022 as well, so it points to a broader rise irrespective of any government shortcomings.

Moggies face. Looks like he’s found a shit in his sandwich

and this coinciding with us leaving the EU is just that - a coincidence?

I would think that if the EU sees a big rise in illegal crossings over a certain period, then the number of people ultimately attempting to reach the UK after first illegally crossing over the EU would increase as well.

Would certainly expect there to be a big correlation. Plus the various lockdowns in operation in 2020 would have impacted the data.

So far we have paid Rwanda around £140m. Even presuming the scheme will ever work (it won’t) Rwanda has around capacity to house around a 100 people and process 500 people a year. The scheme is an expensive farce and, as you put it, ‘consuming our taxes’ for the square root of fuck all.

Rwanda is also on the brink of a full scale conflict with the DRC which will further bollocks the scheme if it boils over.

Sunak is a moronic ****.

An astonishing line-up tonight:

junior minister for science/technology
shadow employment minister
manufacturer of ethical clothing
Oakeshott, presumably appearing on behalf of the Reform Party!
