Pardon me for my ignorance but I thought it was big business that relied on mass immigration to provide cheap labour for the shareholders and Bob.

the ignorance is from the peasant Labour voting masses, who are too dumb to realise that this is exactly the case - yet still they keep voting Lab and thus screwing their own chances even further

May I take this opportunity to introduce you to Mr Bibby, a forum legend who holds similar views?

I wonder, Martina, if you are likening these 'peasant Labour voting masses' (your term - #42 - not mine) to those of Plato's cave, chained to a wall and only seeing illusions of the truth - or is that you?

like I said in the other thread, there's other parties to vote for, or at least continue to vote Labour whilst vocally opposing mass immmigtation, yet the sheep do neither!

A bit of a high expectation there, BD. I mean, I doubt that anyone who really 'couldn't give a monkys' [sic] has been bothered to start a political party in the first place but, even if someone were to escape torpidity in order to do so, he or she would surely struggle to recruit similarly-minded apathetic individuals, and couldn't really expect serial lethargists to summon up the energy to visit a ballot box.

Writing in my capacity as senior serial lethargist I do normally manage to get to the polling station to cast my vote but didn't bother in the Police commissioner or last European elections. In the former I had and do still have no idea what the job entails other than the odd press release from the egotist elected. In the latter all stuff through my letter box or on the telly told me not to vote for rather putting a case for themselves, couple that with the totally useless MEPs that we had then and have now I would abstain again.

Spoil your ballot paper! Turn up and show dissent for the system, that way the electoral commentators have proof that people disapprove of PCCs and the EU (MEPs).

yep it's a joke, just look how Keizia Dugdale has now realised that being on 'I'm a Celebrity' is just nowadays the natural progression for a politician

Yup. I've just heard Robert Mugabe is up for it now.

the Robbie situation is a farce, I mean they're all cheering on the new guy Manangwa, yet he's no different to Mugabe, maybe from another tribe that's all - what a joke -

I've got a horrible this is going to end up as a blacked up rerun of that Arab Spring, and we all remember how that turned out.

My, this thread has taken a few twists and turns, but I'm totally confused now. Could someone please explain why (ex-) President Mugabe has been paying the UK's Universal Credit: no wonder Zimbabwe's economy's in such a mess, but it's a grand gesture nonetheless.

I don't think he has been paying, rather he has acted to put his country on a jolly good new path towards something or other (despite being elderly and with a wife and sons to support) in less time than it takes for a UC claim to be processed.

Well I do hope that this Emmerson Mnangagwa fellow will honour the obligations his predecessor committed to, or Hammond's budgetary plans will certainly go awry.

To quote Douglas Adams: “The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
What foresight! Substitute 'Universe' for 'Universal Credit' and you'll appreciate his genius even more.
