Trump speaks..

[Alex]

I read 1000 immigrants due to fly to US from Afghanistan have had their flights/visas cancelled.  The first 1,000 of a planned 10,000.  He hasn't wasted any time has he. !

Trouble is that they might be able to divert to the UK where, as we all know, all waifs and strays can milk the system ad infinitum because they are strangely beneficial to our economy, allegedly🤷🏻�♂️🤷🏻�♂️🤷🏻�♂️

Trouble is,  the more Trump bans,  the more will arrive here,  unless Starmer acts quickly,  and I can't see that happening,  can you? 

[Cassandra]

I would also add President Trump had had 4 years to decide his actions and select his team   

Drill baby drill !!!   Gawd I wish we had him.

So did Starmer, but there's no perception without contrast

He certainly won't waste time wondering 'Shall I .. should I?

There will be no Woulda.. Shoulda.. Coulda...  Good for him..

I wonder if Starmer  knows about this... Probably not..

[JBR]

Much as I have never been keen on Trump,  from Cass's post there are several things I admire,  like -

1. Bring back the death penalty.  (That surely will be a deterrent to some).
2. Securing their borders.
3. Only 2 sexes recognised - male and female.
4. Protecting their citizens from terrorist attacks.

Can't ever see Starmer doing any of that,  he wouldn't know where to start.

Apologies.  I have been absent from this thread for a while.

I fully agree with all of the above, especially no. 1 looking at what is happening now in our country. 
That animal with the mass of black hair should be hanged for the Southport murders.  The consequences to his multiple murder of children may be announced soon, possibly even today.

I fully expect him to be given a safe home in a prison for a few weeks, followed by a full disguise and make-over along with a new name and identity and a nice place to live.

... and a living allowance..

Many of those Afgans waiting to go to USA helped the USA troops
as interpreters etc and were promised a safe haven from the Taliban.
Many had clearance after vetting to go to USA.

[klondike]

True enough. I was thinking along those lines myself but we don't have the information here on who this particular group might be. If it's 10,000 it must include a lot that were relatives of the interpreters if that is indeed who they are. I'd also suggest that they seem to have avoided the dire fate that they are trying to escape for a very long time.

It puzzles me too .
But I was always weak at maths 🙁

[Alex]

So far so good  "  President Trump has signed an executive order allowing deportation of foreign students who express support for Hamas or Hezbollah "

Can we do that too, please?

[Mups]

Can we do that too, please?

No.
