Mailwatch(ed) Forum

He is a full shade whiter for the Kippish leaflet. Obviously.

It must be due to the summer recess, or non-entity backbenchers have been instructed, but my MP seems to be doing a round of “flower festivals and dog shows”, to try and get a bit of “positive” coverage. Although its her day to day level of usefulness anyway

Sometimes you read something and you think, "Nailed it."

Tell me again about the rigorous checks you did on the Bibby before putting asylum seekers on it...

I suspect the rigorous checks extended as far as someone kicking the side and saying “yeah, seems alright”.

And cue the government saying "Look, we evacuated the barge!" as "proof" of their compassion.

Mmmm. Add in talk of TB and the rapid rise of Covid 'Eris'...

Civil servant: Home Secretary, I’m afraid if the barge remains untenable we’ll have to move the proposed residents elsewhere.

Braverman: I see. Yes, I can see we will have to move lots of asylum seekers to another, temporary site. Gather them all in one convenient, hard to escape place.

CS: But Home Secretary, that could put them at high risk of attack, or disease outbreak…

Braverman: <looks dreamily off into the middle distance> Yes. All in one remote place with simple portakabins, far away from scrutiny. Or to put it another way, concentrate them, somehow. In some sort of camp.

Yes, that has a nice ring to it.

I believe Friday Bridge is still standing...

Eight months on, and I still wish painful harm on this utter fucking wankstain. He keeps popping up on the news brainfarting about “a fair and final offer”. I want to punch his chubby shiny face to a bloody pulp.

On the forum I alluded to earlier, that remark would have got you in trouble according to rule 7.4 - "A contribution must not [...] promote violence"

(even though Barclay deserves it)

How the hell the ones that are discriminatory are deemed okay then...

As we discussed at the time, we are fortunate that Mailwatch has no such prissy rules.

At least they’ve managed to stop one boat

A Facebook friend has observed that the government is attempting to deal with migrants crossing the channel in dangerous boats . . . by putting them on a dangerous boat.

With the news of the lives of six more souls at sea today, the Brains Trust that is the Daily Mail commentariat are out in full force - and I'd remind you, the comments there are now moderated:


"Time to scrap Maritime Law..." dear God, can they walk and chew gum at the same time?

We have to accept that the initial reaction of many of our fellow countrymen will have been, "It's not a lot, but it's a start."

A point made to me by a member of the border security forces when a hapless asylum seeker was killed by a train in the Channel Tunnel...

I once met someone who worked for Border Force who dealt with deportations. It could have been the same person that you met, but his views were strikingly similar...

This was a woman. A very unpleasant woman...

Ah.
