Got to see plenty of this great country this year, investments are doing well so no money worries, gonna do more of Scotland and Lake District next year. Few little bits of work in the new year (keep the beer tokens topped up), turns out no one going into my trade (joinery/cabinet making) is proving quite the boon for me. Quoted someone double my usual day rate after telling them to piss off twice and the jobs now booked in, go figure? As far as I'm concerned, I'm warm, food in my belly, and everydays a holiday with nothing to worry about.......... Lake Bala earlier in the year:

Yep, you know there's nothing behind their arguments by the length of reply. #bloviation

No, you're an insufferable tw@t who peddles MSM talking points regardless of what's happening on the ground............. #shill

Yeah that's a fair point but was thinking translators and the like working for us in Afghanistan and Iraq who's families are getting butchered in the square once they are known to the Taliban.

For MSI, you're welcome btw. The echr was written in a time when there was no mass movement of people as there some 2.5bn people in the world. Where the echr is failing, like many institutions relating to Europe is it's over reach. The original intention was a loose framework of human rights to affect a lasting in peace in Europe, a united states of Europe as Churchill called it. All well and good. However now it's swamped legislating on social issues, like trans rights, gay rights, i.d issues as well as migration. It's critics as I previously mentioned draw attention to the 'living instrument' part of the convention which it's initial intention was to keep the convention relevant to today's world. Now though many see it for what it is, an institution highjacked by special interests and political activists. Many would say this convention is now compromised by essentially socially engineering the region through case law and policy. And like so many EU institutions, important country-changing decisions are getting made behind closed doors by a handful of judges who neither have to live with the consequences of these decisions nor be accountable to them. The echr is why you have Hamas higher-ups living in the UK on the tax payers dime and why it has frustrated every Home Sec since Blunketts time. It's why we can't deport anyone without spending, in some cases years dealing with unfathomable layers of bureaucracy and that includes hate preachers, murderers and rapists back to their country of origin, see article 3, the goto for every 3rd world scum bag. #agreattimetobealawyer

Still not answering me though are you? Is it the human rights / lockdown list you want me to address? You lived through lockdown didn't you? Articles, 2,3,5,8,9,10,11&14 all went out the window with lockdown. Remember your rights are inalienable until the govt says otherwise...............

Yes, I've made about a dozen on this thread, which ones are getting your panties in a bunch? It's more to save time on your endless strawman-ing that you're are known for instead of just answering a question, like the post 4 posts up from this one. It's text book MSI, I explain you don't understand what the term 'bait and switch' means which you clearly don't from the context you are using the term. But instead of answering that you want me to give you proof of something I never posed, you're deliberately misrepresenting hence, you're strawman-ing. #lessstrawmanmorepointsyouwantmetoanswer

Tell me which ones then?

ExpLAiN yOurSeLf? As I don't think you understand the meaning of the term Bait and switch: (in politics) In lawmaking, "caption bills" that propose minor changes in law with simplistic titles (the bait) are introduced to the legislature with the ultimate objective of substantially changing the wording (the switch) at a later date in order to try to smooth the passage of a controversial or major amendment. Rule changes are also proposed (the bait) to meet legal requirements for public notice and mandated public hearings, then different rules are proposed at a final meeting (the switch), thus bypassing the objective of public notice and public discussion on the actual rules voted upon. Bait and switch: (in retail sales) is a form of fraud used in retail sales but also employed in other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but then, when they visit the store, those customers discover that the advertised goods are not available and are pressured by salespeople to purchase similar but higher-priced ones ("switching"). Bait-and-switch techniques have a long and widespread history as a part of commercial culture. Many variations on the bait-and-switch appear, for example, in China's earliest book of stories about fraud, Zhang Yingyu's The Book of Swindles (c. 1617). I await your reply.........................

The only case for migration to the uk at present are: Women and kids from Ukraine. Allied collaborators from Afghanistan and Iraq. Qualified Doctors & surgeons. That would number in the 10,000's. Everything else is virtue signalling.

It's quite a skill old Sir flounce-alot (staffsknot) has; to write pages of it and still never answer the question. #abigfatnothingburger

And did you see how the majority of the above were rescinded during lockdown? #dreamer

It's rather quaint you think you have any human rights in light of lockdowns? As I said: #lessdramamorereading

Yeah, I keep forgetting they're all a net gain. The social housing phenomenon

To Your first point and not for the first time you're wrong (3rd paragraph in the article linked below): Earlier in the year, Rishi Sunak, was reported to be considering contesting the next election on a commitment to withdrawing from the ECHR if the European Court of Human Rights were to find his new immigration legislation incompatible with the Convention. Second point; moot/irrelevant, Americans not the ones beheading gay people & stabbing strangers in Ireland. The case for leaving the ECHR Read the article, the problems of the ECHR stem from the 'living instrument' nature of the court which leaves it wide open to being exploited and manipulated for social / political clout/gain. #lessdramamorereading

Yeah its simple, you walk away from the ECHR.

You're saying Irelands housing issues are caused by the 13,412 US Americans living in the ROI to 2022 and not the 141,600 immigrants that came to Ireland to April 2023 #hardcoping

The point being a democratically elected parliament in Ireland shutting down any debate regarding mass migration, blaming instead white misogyny. #gaslighting

FWIW if multiculturalism was a such a success in Ireland there would be no need to criminalise objections to it under the guise of rushed-through 'Hate speech' legislation currently going through the Irish parliament. As previously mentioned, the WEF/technocrat/hyper left-wing across the west are playing a very dangerous game. #powderkeg

Regardless of the differing view points, the politicians that are gas lighting the public that it's their fault kids in Ireland got stabbed, and cynical bs like not releasing a description of the Aberfan stabber whilst at large are playing a very dangerous game. Everyone can see what's going on and who's perpetrating the crimes. To continually blame the public for their failed policy is idiotic. And can see things getting 'kinetic' on our streets across the country a lot quicker if tptb don't change tack and face up to their total failure that is mass immigration. #thiscountryisalmostdone

I'm happy to strafe from the air as long as I'm getting paid a good hourly rate. No problem. #societalcollapsethencivilwar EDIT I'll do beach side for double bubble and free pizza but its got to be an elevated position with someone feeding the rounds.

aRE u oK Hun?

What was the quote from Charlie Munger, "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome". Matt Goodwin posted on twitter the other day that to Sept this year 143,990 foreign health and care workers bought 173,896 dependants with them. It can only be malice not incompetence on side of the govt.

Yep when I was in the Lake District in the summer, it was a sea of for sale boards, I guess the Airbnb/2nd home party has come to an end? #myheartbleedsforhugoandchloe

All the while importing another city the size of Brum each year they're in power whilst simultaneously locking up any discenting voices to this 'brave' new world. #diversityisourstrength
