Fred snored so loud at his place
Nora put her pillow over his face
Fred fell silent ,even his breath
Nora's in the clink, over his death
Hoping her barrister can pull out an ace

Nora is pleading self defence
She is feeling rather tense

Fred snored so loud at his place
Nora put her pillow over his face
Fred fell silent ,even his breath
Nora's in the clink, over his death

I am not sure.. but I think he is trying to stop immigrants , in their masses, coming to his country..
I agree strongly on his thoughts about this problem.. and it is a problem ... Not only for them... but for many others..  I think our leader(s) are weak where this matter is concerned..

I'm not very knowledgeable where politics are involved.. I don't profess to know all the answers to all the worlds problems... 

Many of their systems rely on antiquated technology. It seems the previous attack exploited security weaknesses in Windows XP which was discontinued many many years ago and is riddled with vulnerabilities.

The problem was probably caused by outsourcing to the lowest bidder. The chances are that nobody has a clue how the system works and there is no decent documentation. The company that wrote the system handed it over, got paid, and those who actually wrote it are long gone. The bugs can't be corrected, nothing can be changed and the only option is to completely redevelop the system attempting to integrate it with other obsolete, undocumented, buggy systems.

When I started in IT each company had its own inhouse IT team that custom built and maintained systems  specific to the task. It still didn't entirely fix all the issues though. I worked in such a department in Ford in the 70's and early 80s before moving on to an IT company selling software for 10 years or so before becoming a self employed contractor. I took a contact with Ford after becoming disenchanted with better paying contracts in the city because of the abysmal experience of commuting by rail. They had outsourced their entire IT department but their core system was still pretty much the same as it had been back in the 70s/80s.

I recall many years ago when I was working for the American IT company that sold applications that ran on the main product which was a database. Apparently the way the Americans do accounting is different from the UK (and maybe Europe) Rather than keep the coding inhouse to make the necessary changes they decided to give the job to an Indian company who supplied coders to do the job.

To supposedly keep an eye on things a team of coders was shipped to the UK. The rumour was that they were sleeping on the office but I'm not sure how true that was. What was true was that they were getting paid per line of code. Nothing saleable resulted and it turned out that a high proportion of the "lines of code" they were paid for were actually comments added to the source code.

Migration 

Also taxation policy. We are getting close to or have exceeded the point where there are more claimants than taxpayers. In fact the budget hasn't balanced or shown a surplus for many years and nobody seems to care about it. 

Another worry is the balance of payments. In the years of Wilson and Heath, the government used to publish balance of payments results all the time, now it's never mentioned. We were very close to the edge even when our industry was the workshop of the world, now I suspect it's "Forget it".

Then we have foreign aid where we borrow money to give away to foreign dictators to buy German cars, Indonesian computers and and leather sofas. And similar potty schemes to dispose of unwanted strategic islands.

Fuel policy based on windmills is absurd. In short the British government is the biggest threat to us.

Required better guessing than I managed

Seems that the NHS should have a back-up system, like a telephone or something.

I suppose mutual benefit is a possibility but we have to look at history in context, where all the great nations of Europe were fighting over anything they could think of, and grabbing land in the new world and Africa was one of those things.
