Im glad you let Dave Robinson rant for 10 minutes and Id like to express my absolute solidary with everything he said! British political discourse is insane distracting cesspit, having someone with a respectable moral compass would help a great deal to alleviate the stresses that have been imposed upon modern brits by the removal of all sensible boundaries and rules.

Being born in the UK does not convey UK citizenship. This is not the US which is rather unique in this convention. At least the country hosting Ms Begum is smart enough to know that Refugees belong in Refugee camps with no interaction with the indigenous population. Rwanda is now so safe we pretend we might send as many as a 10 Refugee applicants there for assessment. Rwandan refugee Cnuti Gatwa, has not gone home. Like most other Refugees, being a Refugee was for him simply a sub category of Immigrant. Breaching no international laws we could and should take all of our current "Refugees" to Refugee Camps on the outlying formerly inhabited islands around our mainland, to remain until they agree it is safe to go home.
Agreed, but there is a problem. Robin Island may have worked in the past, but how long nowadays would it be before left-leaning charities would start funding boats and helicopters to pick them up? Unless a secure fortress were built, which would have to be generously staffed!
@@AnnFBug We have no difficulty "intercepting" boats. We just don't prosecute them. There is nothing difficult about any of this. There is just a lack of political will.

However, Arlene Foster is an eloquent voice for her movement and it has been interesting to hear what she has to say on recent developments.
What is the 'rules based order'? Where I can read what it says? All politicians talk about it, but I can't recall any of them having mentioned where the literature to it can be viewed.
The rules based order is the system where manufacturing jobs were sent to low wage countries, but the price on the manufactured goods was not reduced. The former workers in western countries were often forced into despair, drugs, street crime and homeless encampments. Those are the rules and that's the order.
Another part of the rules based order was the European Union, supplemented by the WEF and the UN. These entities create huge jamborees for the professional classes: new laws, more regulations, edicts and directives. These in turn create hundreds of jobs for lawyers and consultants. This toxic brew often outlawed the industrial jobs of the working classes, or made them uneconomic. Brave new world.
We can't spend more on defence as the money is ring-fenced for our fifth-rate, Soviet style health service and for propping up voluntary out-of-work beneficiaries.
I remember some 10 years ago the MoD justifying cuts in people and artillery because the "New" type of war was conducted by computer not infantry. So much for foresight!
For the record, both ladies look like they love a meal deal. And that’s not necessarily a good thing. We need to leave the processed food out of our diet. We are overloading the nhs with sickness and the root cause is bad diets which equals bad health. The Welsh are right to clamp down. However we need to give more money to our organic farmers and endorse farmers markets.
Processed food? Bread and butter filled with meat, fish, egg or cheese and salad? Followed by a pot of chopped up fruit, and a drink? Perhaps you’d replace the bread with a couple of sachets of flour and yeast? Otherwise it seems you can easily select a meal deal with very little processed cheese!

No one ever mentions it because were the West to insist on enforcing it, that would mean a return to the pre 2014 borders, and they can't afford to be that rigid

@@alanlines9673 @alanlines9673 So why didn't the French and Germans make sure they were implemented?

Why didn't the US end the US DOD supported bio-labs and the money laundering that was endemic, and included Hunter? And why did Merkel state, recently, that the Minsk Agreements were only to give NATO time to build up their military within Ukraine?
The spectator is the exact reason why the UK is failing. In one moment the Spectator complains the UK has no money for defense, the very next moment the Spectator advocates leaving the EU, which has made us poorer! How can educated people make such basic errors
Arlene and Co. were told that the Unionists could go ahead and vote for a crazy Brexit, but you can't touch or interfere with the Good Friday Agreement as a Result. What was their first Target when Brexit failed their Goals?? The Good Friday Agreement. British Journalists need to hold them to account.
@George Browne yet why should unionist have to be treated as second class citizens in uk because eu want interfere in uk right to pass goods within uk . When uk rules are stricter than eu . Explain why this acceptable? . Using Ireland and Good Friday agreement to hit uk over head is wrong .

@@danmitchell1955 Simply because Brexit wasn't compatible to the Good Friday Agreement. It was impossible to implement on two different Islands. Unionists were made aware of these problems before Brexit.
@George Browne that nonsense if British and Irish wanted to not enforce a boarder they could . European Union really does not have any power to force them . Other than taking them to court and fines which you can ignore . And I know how eu works I had sit thru and study whole module of mechanics of European law .

England is a neighbouring Island off Mainland Europe, who chose without talks to Ireland before Brexit, to go it alone. This is their problem today.
@ George Browne and why does Britain have to talk to Ireland about it own decision making ? And European Union does not care about Ireland or Good Friday agreement neither does USA or Biden . Eu just trying weaponise something that did not need to be used . Both British and Irish government agree to no hard boarder with Ireland and Northern Ireland that is basic fact .

This is fact we give more rights then basic rights eu suggests our food standards are higher yet you make up bull that all sudden it risk that just cheap and petty. If uk in fact changed any of standards I would be one of first to agree that would justify a rethink however at present this is not the case .
How much of any heavy gun and its necessary ammunition CAN be made in UK? Both in terms of pounds and pence and the actual hardwear/softwear. If less than 90% of either then little Sunak needs to at least immediately mandate a fundamental change if not providing all the money necessary to rebuild at this time. Kate Forbes - lets see and hear what else she may support, or not. I am not impressed with her record in Holyrood.
Anyone remember, buy one, get one free? I think that was tescos, when a surplus equated to something positive. Is Kate wearing pearls? Baroness Thatcher (rip) said a woman in pearls never failed, so it must be true.
Tobias, lays the blame for high inflation in the UK on the war in Ukraine. Kate, as an economist should know that debasing the currency results in inflation 100% of the time it is done. We have been printing money since 2008 with a massive rush to print money to deal with one of the mildest pandemic in human history. Perhaps Kate believes in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) otherwise known as Magic Money Tree (MMT).
@@AnnFBug The first guy. I know it's not a beauty pageant but if you're going bald and you keep what hair you got quite long and full it just brings more attention to the baldness. It draws less attention to just close cut what's left and grow old gracefully 😎
This atheist says hooray! for the last speaker. On RUclips there is a video clip of Australian Health Secretary Professor Brendan Murphy ( expert nephrologist) giggling and telling a Senate committee he would have to take the question 'what is a woman' on notice. 😳
I agree with your statement in general terms: problem is that those who ban his imaginary friend even as a metaphorical values guide, simply allow others’ imaginary and infinitely more dangerous, friends to move into the vacuum. Without laboring the point, all the ‘isms’ that tore the world apart from the late 19 century and appallingly through the first half of the twentieth and onwards… as well as those various cults including the recent destructive mengellian variations of one that at its best is autocratic and frankly bonkers, and the ‘wee frees’ start to look good by comparison in that context.
Arlene Foster, the face and voice of NI bigotry. Nationalist armed struggle only served to entrench the Unionist cause. But peace, power-sharing, demography, history, geography and culture all point to reunification of the island of Ireland. So all this DUP posturing is rearranging the deckchairs...
David Robertson really does enjoy being the victim. Also his argument about the media being obsessed about sex is ridiculous, there's a very good reason there is higher scrutiny of the church when it comes to sex and sexual abuse, and its certainly not because gay marriage is legal
You entirely missed his point. He didn't accuse the medai of being obsessed abou sex. He accused the media of asking questions of Kate Forbes relating to her religiius views rather tha her policies, when the other contender, whose religious hypocrisy is tangible,.gets off without criticism because it suits the agenda of the Holyrood bubble.
The sexual abuse was the Catholic Church, not the Free Church of Scotland. Please get your Churches sorted out in your mind before posting. And that's not why the media gets itself in a tangle every time a religious organisation expresses expresses its doctrines about sex. The question of homosexuality has split the various churches in the UK since the late 1980s.
Whether Shamima Begum was 'trafficked' or not is immaterial. She was a British citizen with a British passport and it is against international law to take away a person's citizenship when she has no access to the citizenship of another country and thereby making her stateless. She should have her citizenship restored, allowed to return to the UK, and if the CPS thinks she may have committed a crime then she should be tried and, if found guilty, punished. If not, she has the right to get on with her life as does everyone else.
As long as she doesn't live next to you though. Pity the people's lives that were snuffed out that she was involved with will never get that same right to life. If it was a member of your family I doubt you'd be so charitable. She's had her appeal and we shouldn't fund any more attempts as I'm sure our legal system wouldn't be so forthcoming either. She made her life as a terrorist as did hundreds of others we don't want back either which would have happened had she won.
Though I’d argue that it matters most that a minor was trafficked. We don’t think our young people are old enough to drink alcohol until 18 and smoke the same, what about have a baby? Yet we think it’s perfectly okay and legit for a minor to decide to throw her life away at the lie of a better life elsewhere and on top of that trafficked go to IS and disobey her husband when he tells her to sew a suicide vest? Are these women of extreme Islam victims of oppression or not? The government has got this wrong and Sajid will be sorry he made such a ludicrous decision.
I disagree with banning the meal deal, but humans were meant to prepare and cook their own food. There's pride in that and it tastes better. Restore your honour and pride.
The £2.5 Billion annual hotel bill for illegal immigrants would go a long way for defence.

He accused the media of asking questions of Kate Forbes relating to her religiius views rather tha her policies, when the other contender, whose religious hypocrisy is tangible,.gets off without criticism because it suits the agenda of the Holyrood bubble.
The sexual abuse was the Catholic Church, not the Free Church of Scotland. Please get your Churches sorted out in your mind before posting. And that's not why the media gets itself in a tangle every time a religious organisation expresses expresses its doctrines about sex. The question of homosexuality has split the various churches in the UK since the late 1980s.
You completely missed his point Dave.
David is confusing sex with human rights
Whether Shamima Begum was 'trafficked' or not is immaterial. She was a British citizen with a British passport and it is against international law to take away a person's citizenship when she has no access to the citizenship of another country and thereby making her stateless. She should have her citizenship restored, allowed to return to the UK, and if the CPS thinks she may have committed a crime then she should be tried and, if found guilty, punished. If not, she has the right to get on with her life as does everyone else.
She can stay where she is, with the rest of the failed terrorists.
International law = who cares
As long as she doesn't live next to you though. Pity the people's lives that were snuffed out that she was involved with will never get that same right to life. If it was a member of your family I doubt you'd be so charitable. She's had her appeal and we shouldn't fund any more attempts as I'm sure our legal system wouldn't be so forthcoming either. She made her life as a terrorist as did hundreds of others we don't want back either which would have happened had she won.
Hear hear
Though I’d argue that it matters most that a minor was trafficked. We don’t think our young people are old enough to drink alcohol until 18 and smoke the same, what about have a baby? Yet we think it’s perfectly okay and legit for a minor to decide to throw her life away at the lie of a better life elsewhere and on top of that trafficked go to IS and disobey her husband when he tells her to sew a suicide vest? Are these women of extreme Islam victims of oppression or not? The government has got this wrong and Sajid will be sorry he made such a ludicrous decision.
I disagree with banning the meal deal, but humans were meant to prepare and cook their own food. There's pride in that and it tastes better. Restore your honour and pride.
I agree with you. Hours and hours of work though.. this is an issue for some in re: to more home cooking.
