Nobody should want conscription.

immigrants aren't the problem, illegal immigrants are, but every body wants to fudge that very important detail for their own agendas

You can’t help forget about legal immigrants when every single day illegal immigrants evade this country

I know two people on benefits.

One is aged 43 and gets just under Ł400 per MONTH on Universal Credit. He has to provide proof each month he is looking for work.

The other one is aged 28 and on some kind of disability benefits but goes running every day and I always see him laughing so I don't know what his disability is that stops him looking for work. I'm told by a friend of another friend he's on Ł375 PER WEEK and doesn't have to look for work.

Not sure why he needs more money than the other guy but nothing adds up.

Not all disabilities are visible. Not sure why him laughing is considered out of the ordinary.
It’s people’s entitlement to know everything about someone in situations like this.
Unless it concerns you, it’s best to keep it out of your business.

The thing is this is nothing really new for Labour - I've been a "jobseeker" precisely once in my life for around 5-6 months (leaving Uni in early 20's, jobless and with a kid on the way lol) but I was just-so-lucky-enough that the timeframe coincided with the pre-2009 Labour govt.'s "New Deal" scheme. It was absolutely fkn horrible. An absolute shambles. I was absolutely ecstatic to get out of there and into any work (which at the time was weekend cashier at the bookies - boy did I not expect that to eventually be 10 years of my life ). Anyway my point really - I think some would take this as "evidence" that these things "encourage" people to get into work, but I only did "New Deal" for 3-4 weeks before I got out, and I was already slipping badly into hopelessness/frustration/not a good mental state. I consider myself lucky that I only got a "glimpse" of that world. If I'd been there for months? I reckon each passing week would have made it less likely that I'd be suitable for work, not more.

is he going to send young people to War?



PM Starmer

[Note Russia has already stated

And yet Russia is using foreign troops. I don't think that puts them in a good position to call the shots.

Yes North Korean
pushed up the front line.


I assume it's Trump who views Russia
as the Big Nation.
That's why they can call the shots
He even stated today as "Good Things"
as what Putin said...............

I think this is less about numbers, and more because of the potential for escalation if they "accidentally" kill a load of British troops.
