In my ideal world there’d be little or no pay differentials with the highest rate of pay going to jobs that nobody wants to do. And nobody should earn more than twice as much as anyone else and the only way to earn more is to work longer hours. Imagine a total reset. We all start out with the understanding that there are no jobs that’ll make you a millionaire simply by choosing a certain trade or profession and instead the choice becomes what you want to do and what you’re capable of doing. Of course we can’t all be football players or F1 drivers, so we just let ability take care of that. Let’s face it, if they weren’t paid multimillion-pound salaries, would we only see crap football players or rubbish drivers? I doubt it! The argument that their careers are short lived would now be meaningless because someone like Lewis Hamilton could earn just as much by driving a bin wagon when he’s past his best. Bill 😊

Finally, the Gov have got their Rwanda Bill into law. But, at great expense, what will it actually achieve ? The Tories argue that it will be "a deterent" to making the Channel crossing, but if the risk of drowning in the Channel doesn't represent a deterent, how the hell will possible deportation to Rwanda act as a deterent ? As for Lab/Libs, they've no intention of reducing immigration, they can't wait to throw the doors open to the world, and invite their diverse voters in. The obvious solution from the start was to take the "rescued" migrants back to Calais instead of taxing them to Dover, as Richard Tice argues. So if you want an end to this farce - vote for Reform. 😠

use a hercules troop transport full, parachutes provided, don't even have to land. open the back door and kick em out. Parachute will provide a nice temporary shelter when the land. four flights a day soon make a dent in the numbers give the pilots some in flight training as well as some of the troops to prevent any takeover attempt.

The French could end this tomorrow, if they properly policed their shores, they've had £millions off us up to now. The only way to stop this is to physically stop them crossing.😠

I think it would definitely deter people but as you say, just intercepting them and taking them back to France would have been simpler and just as effective. Where we seem to go wrong in this country is that rather than just look at what works elsewhere, we waste time trying to come up with something different. Then on top of this, we have politicians who try their best scupper any plan by objecting to anything the opposition to put party suggests. Bill 😊

I think your logic’s a bit screwed up there Obs. It doesn’t matter how many drones they had or how cheap they were because they proved to be just cannon fodder and missile practice for the air force. Long range water pistols would have probably been more effective. If the jets can shoot them all down with just bullets then it’s probably going to cost Iran more. As for the 30 or so cruise missiles, well they’re not cheap but again the jets took them all down just as easily as our aircraft did with the German V1 flying bombs. An expensive and futile waste by Iran. I suppose Iran could always send them a bill for the target practice. 😊 What Iran seem to have plenty of is the medium range missiles similar to what they supply to Hamas and others. I don’t know what they cost, but they won’t exactly be cheap, possibly the same as the very much smaller missiles that Iron Dome uses. And if that’s the case, there’s probably no point or economic advantage for Iran but it does make for a good firework show. The only thing that did get through was the long-range ballistic missiles and they’re definitely not going to be cheap to keep firing off. It’s not quite so easy to shoot these down but by all accounts they haven’t quite yet got it right and the majority of them failed to even reach Israel. As holes go, the one near the runway was a mega expensive one for Iran. Bill 😊

April sees is celebrating 25 years of Warrington Worldwide online - Where did that time go? It has been quite a journey and I suspect the forum will be 25 years old in another year or two. Big thank you to those of you who are still around and have been part of our journey. Shame social media came along as it certainly impacted the forum - although for finding stuff out from the past this still knocks spots off social media - hence we have kept it going. More about our 25 years in the link below and some congratulations messages from those we have worked with over the years! Celebrating 25 years of Warrington Worldwide and messages of Congratulation

WE reach between 10,000 to 20,000 readers a day on the main site - so the gospel reaches far and wide - sadly few are interested in forums these days Seven active members from what I can see currently
