For God's sake at least make Stokes captain instead of Petersen who is probably the worst candidate for captain out of the entire 11

The various antiques shows on tv regularly feature family heirlooms - personal items of value brought into the UK by people fleeing oppression / programes. Imagine the horror of those precious items being snatched from you to "pay" for the "protection" of asylum.

Imagine if Jewish refugees fleeing from the prospect of death camps had been asked to give up items of jewelry they had brought with them to pay for the asylum process.

Some LP supporter told me it is the same as Labour's sister party's policy in Denmark as if that was a convincing argument

People who arrive illegally and fail in their asylum claims can and should be deported now. If you're going to argue Mahmood's case at least know a bit about what you are talking about. Begining to suspect you are a LP bot.

Christ mate you are really losing the plot. Refugees arrive in this country often by "illegal" means as there are no alternative routes, they claim asylum, if they are successful they are given leave to remain. Mahmood wants to make that conditional for 20 years and be able to deport them.

Not a convincing argument tbh. I worked with young refugees for years and those proposals are no way to treat people. Imo the LP are playing into Reforms hands.

Used to be a labour activist. Door knocking every Saturday for years took a fair degree of stick - but couldn't do it for what passes for the LP now

Usually tend to agree with you but you've lost me on this one. If you don't care that Yaxley Lennon thinks this is the way to go then reflect that this will drive more progressive voters to LibDems and Greens. Plus it's f******g abhorrent

Absolutely. The Greens and the LibDems will soak up the progressive vote. Major risk of letting Reform into government. Labour really need to shore up the progressive wing. Unfortunately the party seems to have been captured by the right who think they can outflank Reform.

How counter productive can you get. People should be given the opportunity to settle, make a life for themselves and contribute to society. Many would be assets to the country and repay whatever cost might be incurred many times over.

Not sure if agree all his songs has simple messages. Angel from Montgomery and Storm windows for example. But I'd agree he was a wonderfully empathetic song writer. Sadly gone too soon.

Nostalgia is a disingenuous emotion. Look at photographs of social conditions from the 70s. It was pretty grim for many people.
