Every small boat will set off with a 'passenger' on board. The French channel coast is very long, and the Police won't be patrolling very much of it.

"French Police will be allowed to intercept small boats at sea, provided they have not got any passengers aboard". So pretty much nothing will happen.

Talking of "proper" flags, our grandson's bedroom shows what a true flag obsession looks like;

Err, no. "expressed in few words; concise; terse"

Slightly over-dramatic headline perhaps ; https://www.leeds.ac.uk/news-society-politics/news/article/5856/uk-children-dying-through-poverty-data-shows "The report also shows that children living in the most disadvantaged areas are more likely to die in intensive care," “This report lays bare the stark and shameful reality that children in the UK are dying because of poverty.

One stupid manifesto pledge ditched; "The government has U-turned on its manifesto commitment to offer all workers the right to claim unfair dismissal from their first day in a job."

Putler refusing to compromise on the "Peace plan". I wonder when Trump will turn his ire on Zelensky again.

Not bad for a Leftie, eh ?

Ralph, have you ever in your life experienced living on welfare ? For most people it isn't the scrounger's utopia the Mail and Express like to portray.

There will always be grifters, it is the consequence of having a welfare safety net. There will always be 'employers' looking to game the system and shirk their responsibilities to their employees. This is a standard side effect of capitalism. Until somebody invents the perfect system, with %100 employment at rates that guarantee an acceptable minimum standard of living, these 2 statements will remain true.
