    There were 3,287,404 visas granted in the year ending June 2023, how many of those to you think returned to their home country on time?

    Depends on the visa category. Some visas can be extended whilst in the UK or some allow switching

    Shouldn't be - they are supposed to be part of the system that protects the country.

    Agreed but I do think the home office are caught between a rock and a hard place. 

     

    They either try and deport people which kicks up a storm before it's the wrong type of person which is where you get Human rights lawyers, charities, protestors or the general public to stop flights. 

     

    Or you get the other half of the public complaining that the home office don't deport, grant everyone Asylum, give free houses and unlimited money to people etc. Etc 

     

    And whichever government has their turn to try and improve things, they will face the same issues and chances are won't do the needful

    I'm not so bothered about the church being naive, it's what they do after all, but what on earth were the Home Office doing overriding their previous judgements about the guy because someone from a group of people known to be naively trusting says he should be allowed to stay!

    That will be partly down to media and social pressure groups

    OK, if you say so, but I still wonder. Given the situation, which I am aware you won't acknowledge, I still think they are being taken for a ride by a minority of certain individuals there are some who, for whatever reason think 'Allah is great', and use a twisted interpretation of the Koran to justify their inhumane behaviour.

    I do acknowledge it. But as you rightly say, a minority of individuals. And now that the church is exposed for having a say in the overall matter, I would bet that the home office issue new guidelines or instruct their staff to hold any church backings with less weight. 

     

    And I appreciate that anyone of the Christian convert asylum seekers might be laughing at us but bear in mind if their Muslim brothers found that they confirmed their belief that Jesus is God, it would not be well received.

    I was not 'aiming' it anywhere, but now you mention it - was the church not a little naive?

    Not at all. 

     

    It anyone went to the church with an interest in Christianity they will obviously help and teach. 

     

    The church aren't the home office, so it would be even more scandalous if they asked people's immigration status before helping them

    They are too goody goody they are prepared to forgive anybody.       🤬

    Yeah stupid Christians preaching/practicing forgiveness, how dare they?

     

    It's disgusting. They should be joining mobs like the rest of us.

    The test isn't an hour. Mine lasted just over 30 minutes. 

    I passed by the way. 

     

    From google 

    The practical driving test includes an eyesight check, safety questions and about 40 minutes of driving which involves a section of independent driving. You can prepare yourself by reading the information below.

     

    About the practical test for cars | nidirect https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/about-practical-test-cars

     

     

    So it's longer than half an hour then?

    Yes. 

     

    Think you are overreacting a bit tbh, from memory you got a minor for really trivial things. It's hardly get one minor for running a dog over. 

    Indeed..

    The number of minors hasn't changed since the 90s and the test is an hour. 

     

    The changes to the tests include hazard perception and identifying essential parts under the bonnet.

    Not sure what you mean.

    Did you want me to stop reminding people that I was banned from SF for telling the truth during Covid ?

    Yes

    Why would you want me to be quiet about that ?

    Because no one other than you gives a ***t

    Or did you want me to stop pointing out to people that there were less damaging and oppressive alternatives to suppressing the whole of society, and/or reminding people just how much  twisted truth was put our way during the madness ?

    Why would you want me to be quiet about that ?

    Because it doesn't change anything, whats happened has happened and if there's another virus sweeping the nation, the government won't be coming to you or this forum for advice. So stop p*****g in wind.

    To which I would reply there is an industry ensuring (quite rightly) that we never forget about the holocaust to try and ensure it is not repeated. In the same way we should also never forget what they did to us (for a virus 99% of people were surviving and with an average age of death in the early 80s.....).

     

    And if you want to create your own COVID Survivors Remembrance Group go right ahead

    This has been an argument in principle, up to now.

    My wife tells me we have just been fined £120 (£60 each parent) for taking our child out of school for two weeks to South Korea, AUS and NZ.

    Particularly bearing in mind they shut the schools for seven months during Covid* it is a good job my wife has agreed to pay it because it would stick in my throat to pay the soddin' hypocrites anything. I would almost rather go to jail, ****s.

    Incidentally, our boy has had 99% or better attendance for his whole school career, is well above average in all subjects (except art....), and every week does extra work (generally maths) with me, in addition he did extra homework whilst actually on the holiday. 

    IT STINKS.

     

    *  Did they get fined for that ? Err no. Let's also remember that we were paying our taxes for our kid to be educated for those seven months but had to end up doing it ourselves. We should tell them to take the fine out of the tax rebate we never got.....

    COVID Bingo!

    Probably of interest, and certainly relevant to this discussion, is the one on the Covid Thread about Starmer's rather cynical support for "Gloria's Law"

     

     

    PS Why do so many laws have to be named after a person these days ? Modern society virtue signalling ?

    COVID in a non COVID thread.

     

    BING......
