What's so Great about Britain?

[Pat ex]

Go ahead, give us all a grammar lesson then. Then **** off. You’re on my ignore list.

So you'll never learn about when to use an upper case 'G', and when a lower case 'g' is required.
But for others benefit, an upper case 'G' is used to refer to a governing party, e.g. the Tories, or Labour, etc.
A lower case 'g' is used to refer to the government in general, e.g. the UK government, or the French government.

So Mottie's assumption that any of us that dare to disagree with the current party in power (the current Government) must habitually hate the government in general, was a nonsensical assumption.
And by extension, we must be eternally grateful to the Tory government for allowing us the freedom to disagree with their policies.

It's a myth that's been busted over and over again.

A extreme exaggeration really. Fact is that any of these types of migrants will see economic benefit for the simple reason that we have a higher standard of living. The fact that that the ones who can stay all live entirely on the state is incorrect. Those that escape and and disappear. Interesting one when they try to get a job and pay tax etc. Oh they all live on hand outs from drug lords etc - oh grow up. A few turn up now and again. Say pot growers in houses that use an amazing amount of electricity. Years ago there were more that found work in some areas - sweat shops effectively and often pretty awful conditions. It's difficult for these people to get into the system.

The real problem now is the gov not processing them fast enough. That isn't really new. The rates have been deteriorating also deportations. The other problem of a sort is that there is only one way for them to get here

Another fact - objectors appear to want the gov to say we don't accept refugees of any type. I have my doubts if they will actually do that. I also wonder how many plane loads Rwanda will actually take.

Forgot to add - arrival rates increase when ever there are wars etc. Go take a look at it over a significant period of time. A number of countries are now in a mess so yet more may try and come here.

...And, after all that, can you not think of anything Great about Britain - just one?

Welcome back Patty, did you have a nice holiday ? Mottie is trying to explain to you that we should all be grateful that in Great Britain, we can be critics of government, Tories, Police, courts etc.. and not disappear.

I'll add Innocent until proven guilty, beyond reasonable doubt and independence of the courts from the prosecutor. Doesn't work like that in many other countries including France.

My mate has a place in Sardinia. He says there are some cracking women out there - up to their mid thirties. They then seem to disappear and the next time you see them they are all wrinkled and hairy. His theory is that they go up to the mountains to grow old and then come back down when they are suitably ugly……
