"Of course I’m biased, as - given the chance - I’d vote for Biden’s corpse rather than Trump, "

You don't even need to be biased to make that choice !! But fair enough, you admitted it ☺️

Of course I ‘admitted’ it…I have an inbuilt bias against immorality and wrongdoing, but as you say, one ‘doesn’t need to be biased to make that choice’.

Trump has just done a YouTube video on Bryson DeChambeau's YouTube channel. A man of the people, putting his money where his mouth is following the national debate over who's the better golfer. Giving money to charity based on the score too.
Will be watching it tomorrow, make golf great again!

First time for everything, RS.
Maradona, OJ Simpson and Joey Barton were pretty handy at their sports too. Doesn’t stop them being total tw@ts.

I'm quite certain "are Nige" would love a round, as long as he's not paying (269Kb png photo of a beer mug loading from neither my PC nor a URL)

How much are council taxes going to be going up? 3 weeks in, 5500 prisoners released. 90 000 Asylum amnesty coming. Closing Bibby/camps/hotels and all being divided up onto council shoulders?
There are no social houses and B&B's being over used.
Being banded about , that the population will have to house them?

What next, fines for spare bedrooms? The tax cons haven't even kicked in yet. Corbyns magic money tree, is going to look like a garden weed at this rate.

Jeez! If you're going to post facts, at least get them right.

3 weeks in, 5500 prisoners released. WRONG ! There are currently around 700 available places in cells and they will be gone, very rapidly. Currently, inmates jailed for less serious crimes, who have shown good behaviour get released early after completing 50% of their sentence. We need either far less crime or far more lenient sentences or lots of new prison cells. Less crime won't happen overnight, if at all so that's off the table. Lenient sentencing isn't the answer as that would see prisoners released even earlier. However, something has to be done. The new government has decided to reduce the early release date to 40% of time served from September. No prisoners have not been released earlier than they would have been under Sunak in the 3 weeks Labour has been in power. Around that number will be from (not in) September in order to avoid a complete breakdown of the prison service. The state of which they have just inherited. Who will be released early? The reduction in time served will not apply to those who committed serious violent offences with sentences of four years or more. IMO, anybody with the slightest common sense can see the need to release some prisoners early or we'll end up with prison riots and prison officers, as well as some inmates, injured or even killed. I would hope one of those officers would not be you or one of your close colleagues.
I am 100% certain that, had they decided to do nothing and the riots had occurred, you would have been at their throats asking why they hadn't taken some kind of action to prevent the riots... You seem to want to have your cake and eat it. You can't

90 000 Asylum amnesty coming. No, they're not. If you read what they are going to do then you'd find out that they intend to handle the backlog of hundreds of thousands of asylum claims left them by the Tories. A backlog which is the main cause of asylum seekers being put in hotels etc and 100% the fault of the Conservatives for closing down all the offshore offices where asylum seekers traditionally could make their claim. Thosed closed offices were in Africa and Asia. The Conservatives also ditched all treaties with the EU. Ehat Labour has said is that they will FAST TRACK TO PROCESS CLAIMS. Some will be successful. Some won't. There will be no 90000 carte blanche "welcome to the UK". That's how Asylum claims work or should do. Claim made, investigation taking maybe 3 months or so (or does the Law state 2 months?) and then it's either you get your papers or you're off. There's an in between stage where asylum is denied but they are allowed to stay until such time as their country of origin is deemed by the UK government to be safe. That's how it works. That is true whatever party forms HMG. Unless of course HMG (Blue Tory version) cuts off all possibility of making a claim so folk see the small boat route as the only option... and which party was responsible for the current crisis? I'll tell you, it's the one that just lost a shed load of seats at the election, not the one currently in power..

Please keep to facts or I, and probably others, would much rather that you returned to the Red Dog board having had your asylum request, finally, refused

Being banded about , that the population will have to house them? Which reliable source within HMG did you get that from?

So, in short, re prisons, you are WRONG, re asylum seekers you are WRONG and there's no reliable source for your claim that ordinary folk will be forced to house asylum seekers.

This is about the standard amount of correctness in your many rants. You are WRONG, WRONGER and the WRONGEST. I'm quite happy to debate but only when you can back up your claims with facts from a trustworthy, credible source and most of the sources you quote are neither trustworthy nor credible.
