So come on, pick Boris's successor.

She tried dressing up in her Thatcher outfit the other day

Probably wears it in the bedroom.
I hope I don't upset anyone here, but we could do far far worse by not having another Maggie Thatcher.
 
So presumably he thinks he's doing us a favour by working with the traffickers and illegals.
Personally, I think both Boris and Micron should wander off somewhere a few thousand miles away.
Its like criminalisation of drugs. Make immigration illegal and you'll feed the criminal market.

Illegal immigration is, by definition, illegal and the criminal market - traffickers - are certainly involved.
 
The leadership rules are overly complicated and encourage deals to be done, why not one election, first past the post, mp’s only.

Blup

Yeah, we can do far worse...the Liz Truss tribute act to Maggie is close to catching PM4(PM) and might be the contender to subdue Richy Rish!.
The thought of her becoming Primeminister is bloody hilarious. If she makes Andrea Leadsom Chancellor it will be a satirists dream - and the country's nightmare.

But when there's no legal route, criminals will exploit the market. Napster, file sharing, drugs, anywhere there's a demand for something that can't be met through legal means, criminals make money.

The recent suggestion to create immigration centers in France is a good one.
 
The whole culture is collapsing these bozos don't know anything or do anything. Immigration is just part of the destruction of all nations and turning the entire planet into the "freedom" of being ants and living off plastic and ground up grasshoppers. It's like with building materials, GRP and plastic, it's all the same thing.
The West is sinking.
Strength and power if it exists would be in Eastern Europe and slavic nations, they should bring as many of them in as possible.
It's being set up for a Truss vs Sunak where Sunak loses. Truss has an acceptable face and can bring in all the destruction that "they" want whilst smiling and not alarming anyone.
I vote for Boris, at least he was mad enough to sometimes say something useful.

If you knew what she did with oil and privatisation money there is a fair chance that you wouldn't think that. There are other factors as well.

It would be fair to say that her actions resulted in the demise of a lot of UK manufacture also the associated business ideas that were prevalent at the time concerning making or importing. It would also be fair to her to say this is a rather complex area and something probably had to be done however it did more for the money area of things than it did for the general public - lots of those just lost jobs. The city did rather well.

One thing I think she did do correctly - jack up interest rates when the banks hit troubled water due to losses in other countries. TBH I don't think that can be done to the same extent now due to the enormous amount of money in property. Not just houses, property in general.

It was certainly effective in driving young homeowners into poverty and homelessness by pushing mortgage rates beyond affordability.

What a simplistic view. What do you think low rates have done to property prices. There is another factor as well. The returns on property investments. Money has been pouring into it for a long time, pension funds and investors. That makes it a very tricky area to fix and results in financial easing and low emergency base rates. The base rate is supposed to control inflation - there isn't much scope for that sort of use now. We currently also have problems that can not be controlled that way.

New builds are rather profitable area even on houses even though those are now cheaper to build. That ignores land prices. Different area. different problems.

Japan was the first to use easing. Why - inflated property and share prices causing a crash. They still haven't really recovered. Just where are we heading?
 
What a simplistic view.
but accurate

do you favour sudden, violent and large changes to interest rates?

do you think they have a helpful effect on the nation's citizens, its industry or its financial system?

what do you think happened in the Thatcher years to a young couple who had recently taken out a mortgage on their first home, carefully calculated on their ability to afford and pay? When interest rates rose above 17%?

what do you think happened to a business with modest bank borrowings?

what do you think happened to a business with substantial debt?
 
But when there's no legal route
Is there no legal route for would be immigrants to apply for entry into Britain from their home country or even from a third country?
Many have done this in the past.

The cost of processing them figures where ever it's done also the difficulties due to a mix of what are some mix of conventions and laws that are recognised internationally.. I am not sure if they are actually laws. The state of the planet in a number of areas make it even more difficult.

An answer would be to create jobs and end conflicts in the areas these people come from. Fat chance. Jobs is an interesting one - they will take them from some where else. Probably have greening consequences as living standards improve. LOL |We are all stuffed.
