Like the decision to not bother signing a striker in the summer?

Nathan Jones would be one hell of a gamble, especially considering he couldn’t even hack it at Stoke.

This. I hope I’m proven wrong but I can’t see any manager making our forwards good enough. Che and Armstrong are Championship strikers, Walcott would struggle in the Championship and the French kid is nowhere near ready.

I expect Semmens will get the bullet as well which probably accounts for the delay in making a change. Use the break for the World Cup for a complete refresh.

Fuck me, we can’t even win a fight in our own home end.

As expected really. The sort of shit defending you expect from a bunch of kids. Missed the usual sitters. I expect Ralph will be sacked this week but I can’t see this lot staying up regardless of who’s manager unless we get a couple of decent strikers in the window.

There are legal routes but it is harder for people coming from other countries like Afghanistan, that’s why they resort to taking the risks they do. Like those who come from Ukraine, they probably have good reasons why they didn’t want to stop in France (language, relatives, friends etc). Dr Peter William Walsh, Senior Researcher at the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, said: “The data show the vastly different experiences that refugees from different countries have reaching the UK. Most Afghan refugees cannot access the UK resettlement schemes, and there is no way to apply to them. That explains why a substantial number of Afghans are coming through the asylum system despite the prospect of long waiting times and recent policies designed to deter asylum seekers. By contrast, where there have been legal routes to seek protection in the UK as in the Ukraine and Hong Kong cases, people have been keen to take them up.”

There are other factors of course, which is why we need the Conservatives fucking things up with their mini-budgets, like a whole in the head. If the Tories decisions made no difference why is Truss out of no 10 and Sunak banging on about mistakes?

Albania is not at war so those are economic migrants so should be sent home (unless they are fleeing persecution for some other reason). The Homes for Ukraine scheme means Ukrainians come here, through other safe countries, by other means. I thought it was quite obvious but if you need anything else explaining I will be here later. HTH

How come rates jumped up after this then?

Unless they are Ukrainian.

Blimey, you really are as thick as mince. I have never commented on who is legal or illegal, just saying that refugees don't stop being refugees just because they didn't stay in the first safe place - as you say so yourself, the Ukrainians didn't stop in their first safe country which was probably Poland. There are legal routes but it's easier for people coming from some countries than others. Not all countries have the same scheme as Ukrainians.

"tends to be the remit" - in other words not all refugees stop at the first safe place - the Ukrainian refugees currently here being one example.

Just pointing out the fact that refugees who don't stop at the first safe place are not by default economic migrants. I thought it was quite an easy point to understand. Clearly not for everyone.

Wether they come by little boat, big boat or train doesn't change the fact that they didn't stop at the first safe destination, which according to you means they are economic migrants. Do keep up.

So the Ukrainians currently saying here because of the war are economic migrants and should be sent back?

What, like this one: https://therejoineuparty.com ? Twat

There is always going to grey areas whatever the rules. The natural position is obviously open to interpretation but makes sense to stop players trying to block a shot with their arm and getting away with it because they were so close. What doesn't make sense is how Mike Dean still works as a ref. Is there no-one overseeing the standards of refs nowadays, or is he just mates with the right people?

Thank fuck for that.

Not good enough for us though according to the geniuses on here.

Your obsession is a bit weird though mate. It's like deep down you are just as woke as Sadoldgit but unlike him you are scared to express your true self in case you ruin your sad hard-man image. I think deep down you actually love him but because you have to keep taking the piss out or cervixes and taking the knee for the sake of your image you take your frustrations out on him. If you don't like his threads just don't post on them.

Saying Johnson just had a piece of cake is like saying Jimmy Saville was a bit touchy feely. No surprise our resident fuck-wit came out with it. I actually think the best thing for Labour would be to let this shit show carry on for two more years. Things are going to get a lot worse and whoever is in power will have to make some really difficult unpopular decisions. At least whoever gets in power in 2024 might have a chance of things turning around before 2029. Get into office now and they will just have a tidal wave of shit to deal with, Brexit hasn't even been properly sorted out yet.

How the hell can the justify anything other than a GE? The Tory party is a complete mess, whoever they put in charge won't have any sort of mandate.
