Argumentative - largely about politics. Impatient with fantasy politics.

Getting old - not there yet but more familiar with the NHS than I was a decade ago

I reckon maybe those pressing starmer on this miscalculated - by pressing so hard & so publicly, they pushed him to a position where it becomes a matter of principle not to look like he gave in to pressure
Certainly #labour will never give in to anything that the #snp can take credit for - the two parties are in mortal combat in scotland
Those poor families are colateral damage in an arm wrestle I reckon

The NAO estimate of the the cost of sending each migrant to #rwanda was £182,000
I make that equal to over 4 years holding a far right rioter in a uk prison - and I rather doubt any will be detained for that length of time
That is - in addition to any costs in country - and Rwanda proved competent at milking the UK ....
I think I prefer the ankle tags

I bow to your superior knowledge - but we have an issue with full prisons in the UK - and keeping someone there costs us £40k so better these assholes are tagged and made to clean up the crap....

You do realise it was Starmer who ran the CPS that prosecuted the 2011 Riots?
There is no doubt in my mind all those identified as committing damage this time will be prosecuted - and quite rapidly....

The determination of criminality is not based on the (self-assessed) position on the political spectrum of the putative criminal
If it is lefties turning cars over, throwing bricks at the police, setting fire to libraries and threatening Mosques..... then they should be punished...
