Well I'm not sure being shoved in a hotel and given a pittance each week is the land of milk and honey you think it is, but even if those coming over in boats are getting lavished with many pounds, that doesn't really change the above. The numbers of these boats has increased since brexit. When in the EU we were protected by that law in Germany, which we no longer are, and it's been discovered a lot of the smugglers are working out of their, knowing full well as a third country the German law didn't come into play when trying to smuggle people here. So sorting this will have an affect as the Germans can prosecute these gangs working out of Germany. Maybe they'll find other ways but it's closing a door, making it harder for them to smuggle people. I mean the answer to all this is offer safe routes to these people so they don't have to be smuggled in boats and to pull our finger out our arses and process them so we can either send them back or let them integrate into society. There doesn't seem to be much desire from any party to provide safe routes but Labour are processing more and sending more back than the tories were. So all being well, the step up in process applications coupled with the change of law in Germany, we will start to see the number of boats and the numbers in hotels decrease over the next year. Oh and the UK ranks 17th in Europe or Asylum seekers per 10000 population, so we aren't massively more targeted then the rest of the continent.

Yvette Cooper has just agreed a deal with Germany to tighten up their smuggling gangs law. Previously their laws only made someone a criminal of you were smuggling people into another EU country. So Brexit has directly made it easier for smuggling gangs to operate from Germany and bring them to the UK.

Whether I'm right or wrong.......

Now officially called Frank Lampard's Coventry City.

Glad he's gone but waiting to let him manage the difficult Chelsea game instead of sacking him before the international break is crazy. Only ways it's forgivable is if we have someone else lined up.

This is a lie. You're often extremely rude to people and have called numerous people including myself cruel names or made horrible comments. You're extremely condescending to anyone who disagrees with you too. No idea if you'll read this as your post is a while ago, but thought it was worth saying. Whilst the moderation on this board can be a little rogue at times, please understand you are not a pleasant person to engage with on here. I'm not sure what you put that got deleted this time, but based on your posting history, it's likely to be justified.

Kane never pulls out the squad, he's the complete opposite what we a few years back when most big 6 players would pull out of every friendly. But he should occasionally pull out, he needs to rest every now and then, his body will thank him for it. Don't think anyone would call him lazy. One of his big faults is playing through injury and tiredness, when there's option available and he's actually damaging the teams performance. Sometimes part of the patriotic element of representing your country is taking yourself out the equation if you aren't fit.

Only half decent ones are the Flipz ones and that's because they are smothered in salted caramel or white fudge or something.

Kane is off the mark with his comments. It's shame to see players pulling out, especially fringe players like Branthwaite and Colwill who would have had more of a chance of starting. But Kane's insistence that players should push through to play for their country regardless off physical state is why he's been crap in recent tournaments. He's run himself into the ground. You don't need to have a declared injury to need a rest. As a sportsman and someone with very clever people at his club advising him you'd think he'd know that. If Saka for example feels like if he plays these two games he's likely to get injured due to tired muscles then he's very sensible to pull out. If Kane wants to continue to play every minute available then that's his decision but it won't do him much good because he'll either get injured or as we've seen be below par physically and put in below par displays.

Every game should have a number of tickets available on general sales as standard. How are you meant to get new fans through the door if everyone has to either get a season ticket or pay at least £60ish for an adult and child membership before purchasing a ticket? Took my nephew for the first time a few years back and thankfully he loves it, but if he hadn't, my sister paid the £60 odd for her membership and his, plus the ticket prices, that's a lot to pay out and then never use the membership again. Give new fans a chance to build an relationship with the club before asking them to pay up to be a member. Once they know that it might be a regular occurrence they much more likely to stump up for a membership.

All from Kristensen letting the ball bounce rather than deal with it. And Amad isn't even looking at the ball when he gets it, just casually blackheels it to Fernandes.

Water isn't wet

Lane discipline on roundabouts is terrible, especially people going straight on. They treat them like they are F1 cars trying to hit the apex of a corner, but leaving themselves at the furthest possible point when they get to their exit and having to cut across lanes.

Takes a lot to admit to be shit at driving, so well done

Tbf she's only 43, so i don't think she'd fall into a category of older driver just yet Taking the line you mention is correct on a smaller single lane roundabout i guess but not a multi lane one like this. You can't be cutting across lanes to exit. I would say you want to be hugging the island for the first section, between exits 1 and 2, but as you pass exit 2 you need to spiral outwards in preparation to leave at exit 3. The lanes clearly show that too. It's perfectly reasonable for someone else to join the roundabout, from what was our exit 1 road to leave at the same exit as us, in the outside lane thinking the person in the inside lane in carrying on round to the right, to be then cut up by the person exiting from the inside lane. You're essentially changing lanes without checking, which you will have be taught not to do regardless of when you passed your test. And all said and done, the lanes are very clearly marked here, and you have to adapt the changing rules and road markings over time, not just stick to how it used to be or how you learned. I do agree on some roads having horrendous markings, the one at Kegworth is awful, but I still know that unless it's a two lane exit from two lane roundabout, i shouldn't have a lane to my left as I'm exiting.

My other half lives south of Derby and since going over there regularly over the past 18 months plus, I'm convinced nobody in Derby, including her, knows how to drive round a roundabout. This one isn't far from her house, so we often use it. Coming from Warwick Avenue turning right, she takes the red route, hugging the inside of the roundabout before shooting off at her exit. Everyone there does it, you can see the red car below doing it. The correct route is clearly marked, follow the lane round as it spirals to outside of the island, which is the blue route. She insists she's driving it correctly despite what the road markings says. Everyone else in Derby seems to think it too, on multiple different roundabouts around the place. Everyone hugs the inside lane and shots off at their exit cutting across the outside lane. It's a death trap.

A hundred Labour activists handing out leaflets is an outrage, whilst Farage spending UK donations or Musk throwing millions dollars prizes at people who registers to vote and vote Trump is apparently fine. From what I heard earlier the Labour lot weren't sent over by the party and went of their own accord. They have been put up by democrat activists over there, no hotels have been paid for. I'm pretty sure what Farage has done with that money is borderline illegal and breaks some kind if electoral rules both sides of the Atlantic and what Musk is doing is definitely illegal, you can't offer people money to vote a certain way.

Probably one for the unpopular opinion thread, but I've enjoyed Rosie Jones on this series and she's been funny. Perfect team too of her and Jack Dee. Her almost relentless enthusiasm coupled with Jack's grumpy cant be arsed personna.
