You're not a refugee when you come off train, plane, boat, dinghy, lorry etc., you're an asylum seeker. Very different thing. According to the Government, 53% of asylum claims are granted, giving refugee status to asylum seekers - https://www.gov.uk/government/public...-protection-to

Asylum seekers do not have the right to work normally unless their applications for refugee status takes longer than a year. Instead, if needed housing and subsistence can be provided under section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (or section 4 for cases under appeal)

Are they not the one and the same, a sort of Old Etonian Ministry Of Truth?

The "Can You Trust The Tories" theme continues apace. The Tory Party: a party that is now institutionally dishonest.

The lies are so numerous by Johnson, Peter Oborne, a conservative Brexit supporter and former chief political commentator of The Daily Telegraph, has organised a website to track all of the PM's lies:

The lies, falsehoods and misrepresentations of Boris Johnson and his government.

Hours of endless fun.

This goes a lot further than Brexit. The moral core, such as it was, of our political system is being ripped out by the Tories.Twitter says that the Tories have misled the public [during an Election campaign] but the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab couldn't care less:

Twitter says Conservatives misled public, minister says voters 'don't give a toss'

and here is Gove celebrating lying to the public:

Then the term "Once here" wouldn't apply, unless it applies everybody once they've get off the train etc.
This is the whole passage.
No mention of having assessed them first.


Almost sounds like they're going to send cruise ships to Libya, Turkey etc to pick them up.

Re: Election 2019 - Week 3
 

No doubt they will also count as "working hours", thereby reducing the effective working week at a stroke. Also increasing business costs, without the claimed increase in productivity, that is supposed to pay for it all.

Re: Election 2019 - Week 3
 

Somebody needs to work mate, to pay for all the benefits most of this forum seem to be claiming ! Seems there's a lot of hypocrisy on here from those not in work (sometimes with justifiable reasons) having a go those working and paying taxes to support them. Protect the workers, they're your safety net.

Re: Election 2019 - Week 3
 

Well, I am glad you have worked out that public services actually have to be paid for from income. What I don't understand is how Corbyn thinks he can pay for that sackful of Christmas goodies he says he will give us if he wins the election (heaven forbid).

He sticks to his story that he will milk the rich, without addressing the impact of his policies, which will drive most of them away. What will Corbyn do then, poor thing?

Oh, yes, he will just print the money (so McDonnell says). IMF, here we come if we get a Labour Government. Then you will really see what austerity looks like. Remember Greece?

Re: Election 2019 - Week 3
 

Ditto Boris, he's got own magic money forest along with his crop of lies. He's promising spending not seen since the 1970s, plus tax cuts ! It's not obvious crap from a habitual liar. Why aren't you calling out him in the same way?

Well I can congratulate you on being able to read but apart from that, your post adds no value.

The Conservatives aren't the ones who have a credibility problem when it comes to managing the economy. Labour seem to want to have their cake and eat it. Drive out the investors and high earners but still spend the money that will no longer be available. These policies will be truly ruinous and the benefits from commencing on this programme will be short lived. Eventually, it will all grind to a halt, and guess what - more austerity.

Re: Election 2019 - Week 3
 

Increasing business costs is not a good idea by any stretch of the imagination. Leads to increases in inflation, and decreases competitiveness. How is increasing wage costs by such a large amount a good thing? The bare minimum that would happen is that profits and therefore the tax paid, goes down.

Labour claim that their proposals for shorter working week for the same annual salary, will be self-funded by increases in productivity.

Re: Election 2019 - Week 3
 

Theres tons of data out there that a 30-32 hour working week is almost as effective as a 37 hour week.

Increasing wage costs results in income tax and NI going up so your flawed notion that less profits = less tax doesn't hold up. An actual human being resident in the UK (99 per cent of the time) is going to spend that money, and pay VAT in the process. Benefits go down with employment up.

Companies profits on the other hand - dividends and tax havens.
