I think Jenrick may be the worst of the Reform lot. Rewarding VAWG is just the lowest of the low. rum.The guy who attacked the woman heckler at the Reform conference has been identified and denies hitting her with his crutch stating he was just waving it around, as you do

They do seem happy to welcome the absolute worst of the worst from the Tory party. The Neanderthal oaf Gullis was unable to get a proper job so is now one of theirs I see. Kemi was absolutely right about these people being no great loss.
It’s not only navel vessels they intercept it’s also fishing and storage vessels even though they’re not specifically a threat
This will only intensify support for Tommo’s lot
Yes, if they intercept a fishing vessel they are doing it for regulatory enforcement. The coastguard doesnt task the RNLI to stop boats illegally fishing in our waters.
They’re intercepted for simply being in the water.
Ridiculous thing to do during a cost of living crisis.Anyway, what does everyone think of the tourist tax? Mayors are to be given the power to impose a tax on overnight stays, which can vary from % of a total stay to £X/night/person (including Brits)
England's mayors to be given power to introduce tourist tax
Hospitality leaders warn the uncapped levy would risk jobs and push prices up for families holidaying in England.www.bbc.co.uk
But of course, they're going to keep on doing the tax hikes...
They want people to do staycations then penalise you for the joy of you staying. I don’t get it. I understand tax people who visit from outside the UK but even then that should have a limit to amount and days.
About the RNLI and the dinghies- I’m a bit confused. Are the RNLI doing rescue missions because the vessels are damaged in some way or it’s off course or is it because the vessel is pretty much just a dinghy and they aren’t suitable in the harsh waters of the sea?
Yes . Allegedly UK diplomats have already said it’s "largely symbolic"with "no material impact on the UK's wider relationship with Israel on trade or security".
We need a full arms embargo.The partial from 24 still allows the flow of weapons with Elbit still manufacturing away on our land too. The weapons that were meant for “Romania” ended up in Israel somehow.
What about UK nations who live in illegal settlements?
Feel free to call me a conspiracy theorist, but what if economic war had already been started?He says he's *confident* they will be! .. this government is edging us to WW3
The objective isn't a successful war, but an endless one like Assange said. The money keeps flowing, to the arms manufacturers and 101 random contractors, while the rest of us pay the price anyway. Less spending on schools, infrastructure and healthcare.
What if a reduction in our standard of living could be achieved without firing bullets directly?
I'm currently reading The Road to Wigan Pier. Orwell has this line where he describes the funeral of the King and asks, “what has happened to the English people?” The best of us were slaughtered during the war.
Overcrowding in homes. Underfed children was the norm. It’s crushing poverty that keeps people occupied because it is so mentally exhausting.
The war is already in our energy bills, at the petrol pump, and our inflation rate.
Doesn’t seem like there was a danger to life in this instance so why were they deployed?…Also volunteers have been advised not to wear their uniforms in public (for safety reasons )surely if there’s an ongoing threat the government should be stepping up with their own trained staff instead of risking civilian volunteers?
Attachments
No, people should just stop harassing these volunteers and go and educate themselves on international maritime law and the oath RNLI crew members have to take.
There's actually a thread about UK migrant boat crossings: https://tattle.life/threads/english-channel-migrant-crossing-16.53366/
It feels like every few pages on this one, someone posts about asylum seekers and channel crossings then we have pages and pages of the same arguments.

I don't fundamentally have a problem with a tourist tax. I think it makes sense to tax visitors to an area rather than constantly hitting the residents with tax rises.
That’s not realistic with how public feeling has changed, we’re seeing people attacked from all sides for simply being themselves.
I was replying to another poster
Public feeling hasn’t changed though, it’s just a small minority of bleeps who are attacking the RNLI. Their donations have increased since all of this started.
