Possible that you have thought this through more than I have

My theory is that it’s much cheaper to create all the theatre around weapons (tests, signing treaties, adding massive fake expenditure to the budget, parading big bombs through red square etc) than it is to actually have the bombs. And in the ultimate test, it won’t matter whether they exist or not

Entirely plausible that nuclear weapons have never really existed post-1950s. It just makes sense for everyone to believe they exist…

Social housing is good! But there is nowhere near the capacity in LocalGov to build numbers needed. Social housing is not a complete answer: many families want larger, more flexible, housing they own. Again, The Green Party is blocking the only way out of this mess, which is build more bloody houses

There needs to be somewhere near 500,000 new homes built each year. Your first two points would not increase supply at all, your third would not meet the challenge.

Also madness. Green Party is pretending it is either/or. So in effect allowing neither.

Oh. They oppose that too, do they?

I agree! But we need more social housing AND more private housing. Shall we just check in on whether the Green Party supports the default “yes” for housing applications near well-connected train stations?

I’m sorry but that is nonsense. Blocking private-build houses wherever the Greens are in power, and then complaining on being _for affordable housing_ is deeply unserious.

I look forward to seeing the many, many examples of Green Party support for building new homes, from across the country.

How are you going to in horto sedet, when you don’t even have a horto to est in?

Classics friends may enjoy this. Some of the Latin pronunciation is a bit weird, but the essence is spot on! 😆

And how do you think that should come about?

Villagers vexed by mystery of the sauvignon blanc fly-tipper Picturesque villages in the Yorkshire Wolds have been blighted by bags full of bottles for months.

“Most of the bottles are Villa Maria, which costs £10.75 in the nearest supermarket and is said to pair well with seafood and tangy goat's cheese.“

Jesus this is devastating.

A passport isn’t just (or even mainly!) ID, it’s evidence of citizenship and your entitlement to live here without restriction. No other passport does that.

But the case in this article is about people who _live in the Uk_ thinking they can go on holiday without any evidence they are entitled to live here and then expect to be allowed in. Nah. That’s ridiculous.

In the vast majority of cases, this isn’t actually enforceable. There are going to be a small number of edge cases that will need to be sorted out (eg where someone has only recently become a Brit cit) by airlines and BF officers using discretion (which they can).

As another commentator said, this is a very common rule: Canada, Australia, US all require their citizens to enter with a valid national ppt.

You can’t say “I am Swedish, here is my Swedish ppt, I live in Wales” without some proof you are entitled to live here.

Because being Swedish or Danish doesn’t give you the right to live in the Uk?

The problem is not “people travelling here who don’t know they are Brits”. The problem is “people who are travelling here who know they are Brits and who expect to be allowed in without having evidence of it”

This is not the case. Border Force officers do not have a mega-database of everyone who lives anywhere in the world who is entitled to British citizenship.

I am still confused as to how any British national would ever have expected to enter the UK without a UK passport? If you enter with (say a Swedish passport) that is evidence of you being Swedish and wouldn’t give you the right to live/work here…

This is a stupid parents problem, not a Home Office problem (unusually).

UK Border Force is not going allow people to enter the UK just because they say they’re British. You have to evidence it, pretty fucking obviously.

I’m sorry but this is mental. You take British kids away on holiday and expect to be able to bring them back home on a different country’s passport?

Oh do fuck off

The area needs housing, just not here.

“It removes green space” even though that green space is not open to the public and the new development will include an open-access country park
