Isegrim 8862 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 “World leading”? The rhetoric is as appalling but fitting a fascist narrative. There are books about it starting with Klemperer’s ‘Lingua tertii imperii’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30216 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The Rwanda thing is another area where Cooper will annihilate them on their lack of delivery as opposed to the policy itself. Which is depressing but understandable, given the costs and how ineffective they’ve been at implementing it. Tbf it’s probably the way to go atm (which is equally depressing) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, Stanley Johnson is set to receive a knighthood from his son while we're at it. Nothing remotely wrong about this, is there? I've just come to the conclusion all Bruces are cunts (not you ozzies). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, of course that’s the reason to highlight the cost. The Tories want to play it like this, with their fascist rhetoric and the notion the opposition would reverse every single thing they propose. But they’re so fucking hopeless that this is yet another PR disaster waiting to happen when it’s laid bare 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17537 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 "World leading". Dubious ethics aside, there's often a good reason other countries haven't introduced policies like this. Iirc Denmark have dabbled but have given up on grounds of practicality. So far the Rwanda policy has cost us £160 million. As nobody has been sent there, and realistically that can't happen until 2024, that's an infinite amount of money per person deported. Using economic terms I use in my day job, that doesn't appear to be cost-effective. But let's say they succeed in their aims. The capacity of the program is currently 200. So that's £800,000 per person, with the deportaion of less than 5% of the current backlog. I don't know what the government's willingness to pay threshold is for this policy, but we could fund a fuck ton of life-saving treatments with that amount of money, literally save childrens' lives. Meanwhile Braverman claims this is a deterrent, whilst at the same time painting Rwanda as as some kind of African utopia. Pure cognitive dissonance from the cunts again. Come on Labour, this is ludicrous. If you're not willing to tackle this head on, you may as well give up. Just campaign againstit stating the tories are more interested in sending asylum seekers to paradise than saving the lives of sick children. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26588 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 My place describes the sick pay scheme as 'world class' and it's the only place I've been which has felt the need to do this and is also one of the worst sick pay schemes I've had where I've worked. It's not that bad, but they'll take it off you for 6 - 12 months if you've ever had to use it. 'World class' (FAO NUFC, don't go after any players described as 'world class'. It's a trap.)

Renton 17537 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I know a lot of people aren't supportive of HS2, but what a farce this is turning out ot be. They're delaying building it, even though this will cost more, even before you factor in the delayed benefits, presumably to hand the costs to Labour. London to Manchester, if it ever gets built, will be complete some time in the 2040s. More than 30 years to build a railway. London Leeds and the NE, permanently scrappped, so we get no benefit at all. Yet it was the Eastern leg which made the most sense financially. As a country, we just can't handle infrastructure developments any more. We even need the French and Chinese to build our power stations. Fucking pathetic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
