Self evidently untrue. If you're standing in a room that's filling with water you don't need to know why it's filling up, only that it is and you need to get out.

Fact: The percentage number of claims accepted increased by 1400% in 30 years (and peaked in 2022 with an increase of 1900%)

Here's another fact: More immigrants settled in his country in the three years between 2020 and 2023 than in the one thousand years prior to 1950.

Can you provide the data for the one thousand years prior to 1950, please?
I'd like to compare and test your claim.

After the Norman Conquest of 1066, Normans made up a fair percentage of the UK population.
Then after the Viking Invasion, Vikings made up about 6% of the population.
Then during the 18 century Industrial Revolution there was massive immigration from Ireland and Europe.
Then there was massive immigration from Eastern Europe during the World Wars.
Then there was massive immigration from the colonies following the shortage of labour after the wars.

So if you have any genuine data regarding immigration from 950 AD to 1950, I'd like to see it.
You did, afterall, claim it was a 'fact'.

I have to ask. Why Charles Dickens? I thought it was a joke the first time.

It's often quoted, from Charles Dickens' Alice in Wonderland, as an illustration of the nonsensical nature of arbitrariness.
By the Queen of Hearts logic, all accused would suffer the punishment, before they were found guilty or innocent.
It reminds me of the arbitrariness of whatever fate many people wish on asylum seekers.
Whereas the RLNI approach to rescue everyone in distress irrespective of their status, is the only right and proper approach.
The verdict, on asylum applications, can be 'decided' in safety and security.



p.s. I hope that wasn't too long a post.
Have I nailed my colours to the mast?

Did you vote Conservative in 2019?

That was Blair’s tune for his election campaign if I remember correctly?

Looked what a scum bag he ended up being. War crimes….

I don't know why you'd ask me for 'data', like I'd performed an experiment that nobody else could attempt, when it would take you no more than an hour to research it yourself.

No more than 10,000 Normans settled here after the Conquest, in C11, maybe doubling by the end of the century. They comprised about 1% of the population - this is what you call 'a fair percentage', showing the need for you to do some research rather make stuff up. A few tens of thousands of Jews, traders came after, then the Flemish Weavers and consequent immigrants. The Huguenots and German Protestants, 100k, much later the Irish fleeing the famine and the pre-War Jewish exodus. There is no way the total immigration 950 - 1950 was more then 3.5m, and I'd say nearer to 2m.

That was a very good length!

But I had always thought Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland.

Did Charles Dickens also write a version.

That's the only thing which has been confusing me!

The Dickens version wasn't as popular, due to the depressing descriptions of Alice being led astray by the White Rabbit, who together with the Dormouse kidnaps Alice and forces her participate in a robbery.

I've just found it at Waterstones but there aren't any reviews.

I had no idea!
