I⌠agree with Wes Streeting?
9000+ jobs to go?
Starmer got his explanation spot on.
"Layers of bureaucracy ".
Hopefully the money saved will be used well
It blows my mind that anyone thinks we should keep foreign rapists in the country

What seems like common sense on the surface is actually more complicated in practice. Australia follows this approach, and New Zealand often ends up on the receiving end (>15,000 prisoners in the last 10 years) for everything to fraud to traffic offences.
NZ and Australia have a common travel area, somewhat like the EU, but with fewer rights. Under current policies, anyone with an NZ passport who commits a crime in Australia can be deported back to NZ. The issue is that many of these individuals have no real ties to NZâthey may have been born there while their mother was on holiday (There a literally examples of this) but have lived their entire lives in Australia. Yet, they are now being sent âhomeâ to a country they donât know. This creates a situation where NZ is forced to take in people who, in every meaningful way, are Australian.30 or 40 years since being a kid. Ties to Australian gangs. A product of the failures of the Australian system.
There are many people in the UK that were born abroad (nearly 20%), but for many in every meaningful way they are British. They perhaps only speak English, they only know the country they were born in from stories from their parents. Perhaps only visited Jamaica, Germany or India on holiday. Imagine if those countries start reciprocating. Imagine if Ireland or the rest of Europe started deporting anyone with a British passport back to the UK if they commit a crime ? Its becomes a tit for tat similar to what we are seeing with Trump with tariffs.
Alternatively how would you feel, if your family member was attacked. The offender is deported. Only problem is in their country the offence is not considered a crime. Perhaps age of consent is a young teenager. Perhaps its part of their religion or culture that we would find offence. They could get deported an serve no time. In some cases they could even be celebrated. Would that be justice ?
WTF is nuance you woke DEI transgender elite?
Anything that isnât drip-fed to me by my Xitter feed is just far-left extremist bullshit!
The problem is that nuance requires thought.
Thatâs some woke DEI transgender elite far-left extremist bullshit
In the UK, foreign criminals with a sentence over 12 months are deported by default. I think it was introduced by the Blair government.
There is a hell of a lot of airtime and handwringing given to the idea of foreign rapists, but very little given to our indigenous sexual offenders.
The people of Toxteth were whipped into a riotous frenzy when an asylum seeker approached a schoolgirl, but are generally silent on young girls being sexually harassed by people who were born here.
Grooming gangs in this country are overwhelmingly white and native, but for some reason itâs the Asian one Tommy Robinson gets angry about.
Itâs almost as if the sexual offence is secondary to the dislike of foreigners.
Didnât his actions collapse a couple of these trials too? If he gave a shit about the crimes and the victims, he wouldnât have done that.
Yes. He collapsed those trials because he is either thick as fuck, or because it suited his agenda for those gangs to evade justice.
Simple solution.
Regardless of creed & colour, castrate the filthy despicable fiends
Are they entitled to a trial and fair process before you mutilate them, or are we going on rumour and heresay?
After being found guilty at a fair trial of course.
And not to mention that several of his mates were convicted nonces
Not those ones! We donât care about those!
Are they?
Who are the âexpertsâ that say that mental health is over diagnosed?
Maybe if they looked at poverty and lack of opportunity?
Iâm not supportive of either. I am not here to defend the Tories or attack Labour I am trying to be realistic which is something that you are incapable of, because you are so defensive and refuse to question your Party.
You are happy to blame the US for the financial crisis and excuse Labour and then ignore that the pandemic was a result of a foreign source.
Did the Tories make deals that benefited them with people associated with them regarding PPE, etc, during Covid? Yeah they did. The evidence is there. I am not denying it or defending it and I certainly donât agree with it.
You can look through your rose tinted glasses all you like, but Blair/Browns New Labour reliance on the Financial Sector and acceptance of it was partially to blame for the crisis.
If New Labour, were truly Labour they would have ironed out the unregulated Financial sector but because it was making the Country wealthy they let it be.
10 years they had to clamp down on the Financial Sector. 10 years!!! They bailed out the banks, let cunts like Sir Fred Goodwin keep his pension, a ÂŁ16.9m pension pot after almost bankrupting one of the richest banks in the world. How can that be, because it is only Tories that get rich via the Government.
Again from the Guardian. Please read it before responding.
A quote from the article:
âSir Fred is a product of Britainâs winner-takes-all culture that Labour never attempted to civilise.â
And another:
Brown had never protested about the bonus culture until he was outflanked by the Tories. He had never suggested raising the top tax rate to 45% until Obama won on that ticket. The people were always miles ahead of Labour: for years polls have shown that some 75% consistently feel the gap between rich and poor is far too wide. But Labour was âintensely relaxed about people getting filthy richâ, revelling in the bubble that is now over. Even if some have yet to get that message.
I am giving you articles/quotes from the LW Guardian. Stop trying to justify what has happened in the past.
Governments make mistakes, may handle situations incorrectly and in hindsight it is easy to pull them up. But please donât be so ignorant and suggest to me that Labour have done nothing wrong whilst in Government or in Opposition.
I reiterate, I am not here to blame/criticise Labour or defend/excuse the Tories. I could not give a fuck as to who is in Government if it resulted in a better Britain, better living standards for its people.
Unfortunately, there are too many people - including yourself - who are wasting energy on the past and placing blame, than focusing on the future and being positive.
