Just vibe code a solution, and then when that goes wrong vibe code the solution to that. Should keep you in work for decades.

Firstly, there’s a basic issue with semantics: there’s no such thing as an illegal immigrant. You have migrants, who use established immigration pathways to legally enter a country (for example, nurses who get recruited from Singapore to work the the NHS). You also have asylum seekers, the majority of whom have no legal mechanism to enter the country (as until their asylum claim is accepted, they have no right to enter the country) and so who enter the UK through an illegal route (such as crossing the channel on a small boat via a people smuggler).

When I last looked at the statistics, there’s a 2/3rds majority in favour of people legally migrating into the country and asylum seekers form a smaller proportion.

The biggest issue with the system as it stands is the delay in processing asylum applications and appeals which has dragged on to take more than a year, the entire length of which time we’re obliged to house and feed them. Should a claim be successful, they become a legal migrant to the UK and earn an indefinite right to remain. If its unsuccessful they’re returned either to their country of origin or the last safe country they left before entering the UK.

Legal migration is a vital part of our economy, without them we would have not enough nurses, farm workers, care home workers, street sweepers, and all the other jobs that British citizens now no longer are able or willing to do.

Asylum receiving is our legal and moral obligation but the system has been horribly under funded and managed and allowed to become the flash point issue we’re now seeing.

Obviously there’s going to be some among both the legal migrant community and the asylum seekers who are exploiting the system, there are those who are criminals and paedophiles but we can’t use those as an excuse to say “we’re closed” despite what an increasingly large proportion of the country (fueled by bad actors and populist demagogues) believe.

That’s what my best mate Andrew Wakefield says, have you thought about donating to one of his charitable trusts?

I’ll give you one Canadian dollar for each Loon call you can find in a film not set somewhere that Loonies are endemic.

Causation =/= Correlation

Even the researchers acknowledge this is merely a measure of a degree of correlation between paracetamol use and NDDs, it makes no claim that use of paracetamol itself is the driving cause. Something which is entirely misrepresented in the article from the Mail.

About time, should have done this before the winter fuel allowance fiasco.

There’s now no way to stop or reverse the inevitable collapse of the comfortable way of life we have right now. This isn’t a fight for survival or for the planet, it’s to perpetuate the system we enjoy at the moment.

The only way remaining to minimise the damage to our way of life is with some huge geo-engineering projects. Like scattering reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect some sunlight away or releasing some novel chemical into the oceans to fix carbon dioxide and lock it away.

The risks of experimenting like this has always outweighed the benefits (like the guys who thought they could kill a hurricane and instead magnified it and sent it back inland resulting in the deaths of multiple people). But now it’s too late to worry about things like that because the inevitable impacts of climate change including wild fires, habitat destruction, biodiversity collapse, extreme weather events are all here now while most of the world is still arguing about whether it even exists or not.

Again, I disagree that RFK is a moron. He’s a highly educated with a BA from Harvard and a master of law. He’s from extraordinary privilege from possibly the most influential and powerful family in modern American history (excluding perhaps the Trumps now). He was a highly successful environmental lawyer who intimately understands politics, economics and psychology.

He cynically uses that power, influence and education to manipulate people, exploit their fears and make himself richer and more powerful.

He’s a sociopath and an amoral cunt but he’s not a moron.

Is it possible for the judge to find against both sides?

He understands exactly what he’s doing. Calling people like RFK stupid gives them too much credit.

Anywhere else in the world has an incident where children get murdered in school and they do something. Largely, what they do serves to make children safer.

In America you do literally nothing

I’ve never played skyrim. Am I a bad person?

Long story short, concrete needs a specific type of sand and there’s a finite amount of it and much of that is locked away in protected areas, agriculture or deep, deep under the ocean.

Gangs are looting what’s accessible, destroying entire ecosystems in the process and selling it on the black market to brokers who effectively launder it with legally acquired stocks and pass it on to the construction industry.
