At well over a million per asylum seekers it just shows the sheer frothing insanity of the far right in this country No clue how to deal with the problem so let's throw 150 million down the toilet in gesture politics to placate the rabid right wing media meanwhile the Gammons are on here cheering as the government pisses more money up the nearest wall. Are people in this country really that stupid?

@eriihf I would call the Rwanda policy far right the Policing bill stopping protests far right the voter suppression bill far right. At what stage has any government gone down this insane path?

@crabby7668 the uk has always imported a lot of unskilled labour the macroeconomic picture completely changed under Osbourne an Cameron leading to the decade of stagnation you can pull as many individual examples out as you like but here are the underlying figures Blair / Brown +25% real wage growth including the mining mum wage smaller class sizes better public sector pay Cameron / May Johnson -3% real wage growth -5% in the public sector

@crabby7668 don't blame Blair for this Tory shtshw In the Blair / Brown era wages rose and services improved In the decade since the Tories promoted Austerity Shrinking services at the same time they instituted policies that created an expanding low wage economy fueled with cheap EU labour The whole effect is a stagnant economy and. Services on the brink of collapse So the migrants aren't the problem the greedy fkin tories lining thier rich mates pockets are. Read Capital Order how Austerity paves the way for fascism We've been here before in the 30's

@crabby7668 the macroeconomic picture completely changed under Osbourne and Cameron who baked in stagnation in 2010 the economy was turning round after the 2008 crash from 2010 to 2019 debt rose from 62% to 92% corporation tax went from 28 to 19% and Osbourne was all in on gig work

@crabby7668 The key macroeconomic events that have death spiraled our economy are Austerity, Brexit, abandonment of Green policies All these events have reduced gdp by over 100 billion Austerity - to truly understand the damage done you need read detailed academic papers on various ecenomic and social effects Green policies - the bill for their abandonment to uk consumers is well over 100 billion Brexit - 30% fall in the pound and investment falling off a cliff since 2016 with over 200 billion pound bill and a spiraling contraction of exports and extreme labour shortages destined to drag the economy ever downwards Non of this has fk all to do with migrant labour

@crabby7668 1st off I'm retired I worked in IT all my life back in 2019 before the current crisis wind became the cheapest on the OffGem market Second Austerity pulled 4% of gdp out of the economy degrading services at the same time as introducing increased low wage labour due to tax and social policies Third nothing in my sphere shut down during covid only hospitality and travel where affected our business boomed remote decentralised working took off a short factory break To be honest your out of your time your arguing from decades before the world has moved on

@crabby7668 your having a laugh aren't you? Wind and solar dropped by 95% in cost over the last decade it was never subsidised in the way your making out it was given a guarantee contract price just like Nuclear and its current forward contract price is below 2019 gas generation price. The Tories don't invest in anything they even got rid of the gas storage facilities As for interminably you can get rid of the gas peaker plants once enough electric cars buses and lorries are connected up using V2G tech and you can create endless amounts of hydrogen with spare renewable capacity
