Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Ah, just found out.

Apparently, next Remembrance Day, when the current PM lays a reef, veterans will turn their backs.

Given that event is broadcast on all channels around the world, will cause total embarrassment for the PM as it’s never occurred before.

I didn't watch the parade. I take it this didn't happen?

All what you said + Hotels, Benefits, Council Houses etc

I reckon the main attraction the UK has on poorer places are that people are wrongly led to believe by the gangs that we're all rich here. Just look at the Vitamise migrants that sadly suffocated to death in a lorry. Many of them borrowed and paid £100K for the journey. How many months/years did they think they'd have to work for on minimum wage to earn that back?

They certainly didn't pay £100K to live off benefits in a council house!

First thing that springs to mind is that £100k is allot of money in Vietnam. Who are they borrowing it off, family and friends ? If yes then I would borrow it of them and then piss off and disappear in Vietnam or Cambodia. Live like a king.

To me, none of it makes sense, there must be another reason they risking their lives. I have often wondered are they being drug mules maybe. Either swallowing it or dumping it in sealed waterproof bags just before they hit the cost or are intercepted. Gangs UK side then recover the parcels later.

Again, no idea what the motivation is, doesn’t make sense.

But there are drug gangs in all countries they pass through before they get to the UK.

I didn’t watch it either. No idea. More than likely not.

Actually, you are probably right.

Can’t remember his name but I was reading an article about a multi millionaire who supplies accommodation to migrants in the UK. He has a team who help them get housing and other benefits. He has multiple contracts with local and central government in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Eire.

Maybe he is the one who has something todo with the gangs ?

I know for certain, following interviews with Vietnamese people after the fatal incident, that many of them believe we're living like kings here in the UK. What I don't understand is how anyone with access to the internet can pay that sort of money without thoroughly researching the situation before embarking on a journey.

Well, I can’t speak for all of them but a quick internet search brings up what looks like a number of escort sites with lots of Vietnamese profiles operating around central London, Heathrow and Gatwick.

30 minutes £200 - overnight £1500

Not saying any of them are illegal migrants but they look rather young or maybe I’m just getting old.

Hopefully they are being looked after properly and it’s there career choice.

Military personnel with children in private schools considering quitting the forces over VAT rise. The things you need to think of before raising VAT.

To be fair, she was warned about that by the current/previous head of the armed forces. But the current one made the argument in a very politically polite manner.

Whats more worrying is that a recent survey of 3,500 16 to 19 year olds suggested that joining the UK armed forces was either last or not on their list of career options. They preferred IT, Finance, AI, Automation or Gaming.

The UK armed forces size has decreased by 32% between 2000 and 2024. And its dropped by 4,600 personnel between 2023 and 2024. Estimates suggest it will drop by a further 7,300 between 2024 and 2025 even taking into account new intake.
