To all those that welcome/encourage the small boat migrants.

You could have just said thanks for the info.

The incorrect information which mixes up real and nominal amounts. I would have thought as one of the country's top business people, this would be very easy for you to get your head around. Maybe you struggle with basic maths as much as you struggle with basic law.

The foreign aid budget has been cut in two stages. This has been extensively reported. First from 0.7% of GDP to 0.5% of GDP in 2021. And then from 0.5% of GDP to 0.3% of GDP in the last budget. Please show me any link where the government has increased the foreign aid budget.

2021 - 2025.
It has gone up by approx 4 billion.
All to pay for illegal immigrants.
I posted a link to the HCL earlier.

I’ve no interest in your argument other than the observation that you have a habit of asking people questions so that you can ignore the answer or dismiss it.

A quick glance at this. Suggests you haven’t understood:



Aid spending fell from £15.2 billion in 2019 to a low of £11.4 billion in 2021, before rising to £12.8 billion in 2022 and £15.3 billion in 2023. These recent rises have not led to an end to spending pressures: in 2023 28% of UK aid was spent in the UK on the costs of hosting refugees, up from 3% in 2016.

This is a quote from the briefing. It’s clearly no word salad as you call it.
 
It would be interesting to imagine an alternative economic reality. We should remember that originally we sent civil servants out to the West Indies and the Sub-Continent to ask these people to come here because there was a labour shortage. Especially in jobs that white British people no longer wanted to do. But say we had managed to maintain a pure white society. How would the economy have developed. Would it look very different.
 
This is only tangentially related. But when we were little kids and we asked where Mum was, Dad would say "she's run away with a black man". I've just been Googling and apparently it was very common. Does anyone else remember that?

Yep! In the days prior to my ever seeing a black person.

Yes was a very common saying, I was such a good looking child that if anyone asked where I was, they would say a black man has run away with him.
