Bazza, if you refer to the latest figures from The Office of National Statistics for the year ending June 2023 you will find that 672000 more people legally entered the UK than left it during that year.
What you described as a huge influx of asylum seekers ( I assume you refer to boat people ? ) is minuscule in comparison.
Out of interest, are you of the opinion that immigration to the UK is a problem generally or is your concern restricted solely to asylum seekers ? I ask because should it be legal immigrants you are worried about then the current Government don’t appear to be too bothered. Indeed, if they were then perhaps they would have done something to limit the 672000 who came legally ? |

Not content with him making a complete doughnut of himself on Thursday the Tories put him up to represent them on this Sunday’s 09.00 political programme. Christ on a bike, if he is the best that they have to offer it really isn’t difficult to see why they are 20 odd points behind in the polls is it? |

That’s the problem though dirk doone they can’t think, witness the empty suit Tory MP on BBC Question Time this past Thursday.
The woman who chairs the event had to explain to him that Rwanda and The Democratic Republic of Congo were in fact two separate countries.
Worryingly, or though perhaps not surprisingly, the clown was introduced as the current Government minister responsible for policing. |

Thread | Don’t let your backside hit the door on your way out Russell Martin.
at 22:19 23 Apr 2024
I posted on April 2 after the Ipswich defeat that Sports Republic should roll the dice and sack him with Steve Cooper as his replacement.
Had they done so we would still be in the automatic promotion race. They didn’t, and it’s now plain to see that the players have given up on him and his ridiculous, ineffective, tippy tappy possession based nonsense.
Even if by some absolute fluke we win the playoffs I don’t want him to remain in charge.With his style of play, no plan B and ludicrous use of substitutes we would end up with less points than Derby when they last played in The Premiership. |

Don’t make a worry of it kentsouthampton. You see, in Russell Martin’s world goals are just an inconvenience, wasting time when players should be concentrating on improving their tippy tappy, backward and sideways passing. |

Ever heard of smoke and mirrors kingslandstand01 ?
Whilst you are wittering on about a relative small number of people know as “boat people” hundreds of thousands of people are coming into the country legally. Presumably you have no problem with them having housing or do you think that they bring their houses with them ?
I’m reminded of the old adage “ Never let the facts get in the way of a good story”. |

Thanks for the explanation LondonSaint76.
Throughout life I’ve always born in mind the expression “ follow the money” and this weekend’s football has done nothing to suggest the expression is without substance.
Nottingham Forest have three appeals for a penalty and as far as I’m aware none were looked at by V A R. Any coincidence that they are playing against one of the established supposedly big clubs who are in the process of building a new ground ? Relegation for Everton would almost certainly put them into administration and possibly even out of business.
Later in the day Coventry have the deciding “ goal” disallowed with seconds remaining. Much more profitable for the F A and T V companies to sell an all Manchester Cup Final to places like Asia is it not ? After all, I doubt most people there have ever heard of Coventry or that they even have a football team.
The types of incidents mentioned above happen ever more readily nowadays hence it’s my opinion that the possibility of corruption has become evermore likely. |

With Russell Martin in charge it really doesn’t matter who we play in the playoffs.
Having lost in the F A Cup against Liverpool Schoolboys and Cardiff Juveniles in the Championship he will manage to find a way to engineer a defeat over two legs should either Norwich or West Brom decide to play without a goal keeper. |

Don’t forget the midweek home defeat to Hull when the idiot put out a forward line of Edosie, Armstrong and Marra against one of the most physical teams in the league resulting in a 2-1 loss. |

Every sympathy with you Southamptonfan together with all the others who travelled to Cardiff and have also supported the team around the country this season.
Small consolation though it may be but I very much suspect that buying Wembley tickets is not going to trouble your bank balance this season.
Russell Martin’s tippy tappy sideways and backwards football isn’t the recipe for playoff success and as has been proved all season long, he has no plan B. Hopefully he will be off to Brighton in the close season. |

No, they would probably send a marketing questionnaire reminding you that if you were fortunate enough not to die then don’t forget that you qualify for a burger and chips and a couple of drinks at the bargain price of £120. |

Thread | Utterly pathetic management as automatic promotion thrown away.
at 17:29 20 Apr 2024
Despite 62% possession whilst playing tippy tappy, sideways and backwards football we managed to lose today to a Cardiff team decimated by injuries, without their two best strikers and fielding a bunch of school kids.
Once again our idiot manager couldn’t get his players to defend a lead and made reactive rather than proactive substitutions. He’s done the same all season long and has learned nothing.
When are the owners going to realise that Russell Martin is part of the problem rather than the solution? Having said that I don’t hold out much hope given that for their part this week they have managed to upset a large proportion of season ticket holders with a ridiculous plan to install safe standing next season. |

“ The fact that he played for Japan in the World Cup means nothing”. That would be in the Japanese team that won their Group in 2022 by beating not only Germany but also Spain would it Nick ? |

This would this be the same Nick who thought that Yoshida wasn’t good enough for us even though he played for Japan in the World Cup? Asking for a friend. |
