So. If I, innocently swimming off the coast of Kent, find another person in distress, and drag them to the shore, perform CPR and water them and keep them warm, I can be prosecuted? Unless they are a UK citizen. In which case I am a hero? I'd be in the tabloids either way.
It is nonsense
More likely if you were in a yacht in the channel and came across a dinghy full of asylum seekers and you rescued them, as per the International Law of the Sea, and then turned them in to the police in Dover, you would have a lot of explaining to do, it may involve a night in the cells until a solicitor could get you out. You would definately get arrested as you will ahve broken the law.
An unseaworthy dinghy crammed with asylum seekers adheres to the International Law of the Sea??
It doesn't matter what you are being rescued from, people have been rescued from rowing boats, surfboards, liferafts.
I often wonder whether any boris fanboys on PB will actually rescue any asylum seekers, or just condemn them to drown. I think us normal conscientious people deserve an answer to that question. (I won't mention names)
We should do as Australia does. Rescue and deport them instantly.
Only that will stop the drownings.
We should bring in our fair share of asylum seekers from safe and legal routes, not via a Darwinian "if you don't die getting here first" process.
Problem is you can’t deport them immediately if they have no papers and they have the right to claim asylum.
But you could rent space in a Danish processing facility and send them offshore until their case is heard.

Your last sentence does not need a response from the vast majority of us who would rescue anyone at sea at anytime and anyplace
Indeed my son in laws father, as chief engineer on a trans Atlantic ship, took charge of a major rescue of crew from a sinking ship in mid Atlantic
Prediction - there will be violence tonight, that’s obvious
The combo of an England final, Wembley, plus a year of plague and lockdown, makes it inevitable. I can hear chants and singing in Camden already. People want to partayyy
However, if England win the violence will be glossed over. Expect terms like ‘boyish horseplay’, ‘a few arrests’, ‘high spirits’, and so forth. If England lose, there might be a couple of stabbings, there will definitely be an orgy of Guardian think-pieces about ‘the ugly side of Englishness’.
You have a very peculiar interest in football violence. It really is not big and it is not clever, and it really doesn't need to be glorified. Call it what it is, unacceptable criminality.
As a teenager in the dangerous world of 1970s stadium attendeeship, I only twice found myself enveloped by football hooliganism. At a West Brom v Birmingham City First Division game at St. Andrews in 1976 we were challenged by a Bluenose to show our scarves which were hidden in our coat pockets. One friend, an Evertonian showed his scarf and we were allowed on our way. Later that same season at the Hereford United v Blackpool Division 2 game at Edgar Street I found myself chased through the cattle market by hundred of tangerine wearing yobbos, hurling bricks and bottles. As I turned into the safety of Commercial Street, I understood that this was all too dangerous, and although I didn't realise it at the time, my long history of wokery began.
lol. I'm just stating a fact. This is not a "peculiar interest in football violence"
Weirdly, I may have been in the exact same stramash as you! Hereford V Blackpool
Do you remember the day Wolves came to town, and smashed it up?
I kept well clear of the Wolves match that same season. Legend has it that High Town was brutalised.
2 - Any recommendations for a decent film as a alternative to this effing football game? Debate (here and elsewhere) seems to be contempt/confrontation-driven. No longer interested.

I'm not particularly interested in football but football violence is an interesting subject.
From a sociologist's point of view it is fascinating but it is not to be glorified.
Gary Imlach was amusing last night on the TdF highlights. Commenting on the phenomenal story of Mark Cavendish* who has equalled the great Eddie Merckx's record of 34 stage wins in the Tour de France, Imlach said it had gone under the radar in the UK, relative to the football coverage. He wasn't complaining about that, or surprised about it, but added that:
At least we haven't had to witness the Prime Minister dressed up in cycling gear.
Indeed.
* Always assuming and hoping of course that Cavendish isn't fuelled by naughty sauce.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. Cavendish will be remembered worldwide by the cycling community for at least a century to come, probably much longer. Even if England win tomorrow, only the English, Scots, Welsh and Irish will remember it, because of the constant media drone we’ll all be subjected to, à la 1966.
Assuming he’s not on the sauce, Cavendish will be remembered as a great sportsman. Assuming the English win tonight, their achievement will not be remembered primarily as a sporting achievement, but as another step on the road to the dissolution of the Union.
What rubbish, the fact England got all the way to the final while Scotland and Wales got knocked out in the early stages might boost English nationalism a bit, especially if England win, as it would show England would be a strong nation even on its own but I doubt it would make any difference to Scottish independence. If you are a Scottish Nationalist you hated England and its sporting teams before the tournament and still do and if you are a Scottish Unionist you happily supported Scotland and will wish England well tonight too.
However I am looking forward to the British Lions tour and Olympics later this month when as Scots or English we can once again support the same team
The problem with you FUDHY is that you understand neo-Unionism (and are an invaluable source of information on that movement), but you are utterly clueless about all other important blocs:
1. traditional Unionism of the sort that has kept the Union clinging on this last half century, ie the SLab/SLD/civic-Scotland axis
2. the Scottish independence movement
3. and most importantly, ordinary Scots
The 55% of Scots who voted No in 2014 are not that bothered either way whether England win or lose tonight but will politely wish them well.
It is only the 45% of Scots who voted Yes like you who absolutely despise the England team and are praying for an Italy win, as demonstrated by the headline in the National
My own guess would be that the Scottish population falls roughly into thirds.
-One third still thinks of itself as either primarily or secondarily British, is broadly friendly and will wish us (the English) well -One third thinks of itself as only Scottish and, whilst not actively hostile, regards England as its main rival and will support anyone but England in anything -The final third hates us
My father belonged to that first third you name: proudly British, pro-monarchy (one of his proudest possessions was a press photo of him showing HMQ round his workplace), did his bit during the war. He couldn’t stand any English sports team or individual sportsperson. The air was blue when an England football or rugby team took the field. He also detested what Margaret Thatcher did to the civil service and NHS (despite voting for Malcolm Rifkind as his MP). Folk are funny.
A lot of die-hard Unionists will be supporting Italy tonight. A lot of Scottish sovereignty supporters will want to see an English victory.
Typical of the pathetic attitude that they actually believe a third of Scottish people hate the English. So blinkered and ignorant of reality in their little jingistic bubbles.
I've lived here in my little Buchan village for 5 months now. I haven't exactly hidden myself under a stone and have heard literally one single anti-English comment, and even that as much anti-woman as English.
There are nobbers wherever you go. But whatever visceral hatred of me there is for not being born here, I haven't seen or heard it. Unlike the abuse that was so ingrained into the "parochial bigotry" of my former small North Yorkshire town against anyone who wasn't born and raised there.
Without wanting to reopen this morning's quite funny "attacks" on me (bless), there is a definite compare and contrast between my new country who has a pro-migration policy and my old country now making it illegal to rescue a drowning migrant child.
You seem to be a big fan of extrapolating individual experience into a diatribe against an entire national culture - that's what gets peoples' back up, as you treat your conclusion as proven fact not opinion.
I've never seen or heard any such abuse in my town in 30+ yearts, but I did see one incident when I was in Leicester for 4 years - should I decide Leicester is a more bigoted place from that? Certainly not.
No, I treat my anecdotes as anecdotes, as I'm sure yours are.
My point stands. England is passing a law to make it illegal to assist migrants. To stop the lifeboats pulling drowning kids out of the water. Do I think that England is a more bigoted country towards migration than pro-migration Scotland? Doesn't the policy make that reality?
My son has just joined the RNLI and if you think they are going to let anyone drown then you are totally out of order and de facto attacking the RNLI service
My son will put his life on line to save life at sea and your political hatred disgusts me
Wowsers. I am not attacking your son you buffoon. I am attacking the law which makes his saving certain lives at sea a criminal offence.
It doesn’t. The government has said that isn’t the intention. The wording will get cleaned up.
By the opposition. Once the government have virtue signalled to their base that they are sympathetic to the endless "let them drown" comments that always get posted when the Nigel goes out on his dinghy.
You and I both know how bills gets drafted. This isn't a whoopsie.
Usually sloppily because they rely on committee to clean them up.
A general rule that I have found very useful in life is “never ascribe to malice what can satisfactorily be explained by incompetence”

Yes that's the first thing we should do. Have an offshore location in Mauritius or somewhere like that where they'll be processed and immediately send them there. Don't let them spend any time in the UK.
I'd like to set outside the actual immigrants for a moment, and consider the real criminals in this: the people who take money from the immigrants, then put them into unsuitable craft, often uncrewed, for journeys that kill many of them.
We need to really tackle the people smugglers, and that needs international action as their actions are international. Yet not much appears to be being done.
Personally, I'd like to cut the b******d's balls off, then throw them into the waters where they have committed so many innocents.
Nationally, we can strike at the modern slavers who take advantage of so many immigrants. A lifetime of indentured servitude washing cars or working in male brothels should be a suitable sentence for them...
And yet when the Home Office/police try to arrest 2 of them lots of Scot Nationalstd gather around and make it impossible
These guys were people smugglers? Please tell me more.
1 - Why is this export of apples to India suddenly a big issue wrt to Trade Deals. Can anyone explain why they were banned before? Poland and others have been exporting 10s of thousands of tons a year.
Presentational pratfall?

So. If I, innocently swimming off the coast of Kent, find another person in distress, and drag them to the shore, perform CPR and water them and keep them warm, I can be prosecuted? Unless they are a UK citizen. In which case I am a hero? I'd be in the tabloids either way.
It is nonsense
More likely if you were in a yacht in the channel and came across a dinghy full of asylum seekers and you rescued them, as per the International Law of the Sea, and then turned them in to the police in Dover, you would have a lot of explaining to do, it may involve a night in the cells until a solicitor could get you out. You would definately get arrested as you will ahve broken the law.
An unseaworthy dinghy crammed with asylum seekers adheres to the International Law of the Sea??
It doesn't matter what you are being rescued from, people have been rescued from rowing boats, surfboards, liferafts.
I often wonder whether any boris fanboys on PB will actually rescue any asylum seekers, or just condemn them to drown. I think us normal conscientious people deserve an answer to that question. (I won't mention names)
Your last sentence does not need a response from the vast majority of us who would rescue anyone at sea at anytime and anyplace
Indeed my son in laws father, as chief engineer on a trans Atlantic ship, took charge of a major rescue of crew from a sinking ship in mid Atlantic
I applaud both you and your relative, thank God some boris fanboys have a conscience.
I'd like to set outside the actual immigrants for a moment, and consider the real criminals in this: the people who take money from the immigrants, then put them into unsuitable craft, often uncrewed, for journeys that kill many of them.
We need to really tackle the people smugglers, and that needs international action as their actions are international. Yet not much appears to be being done.
Personally, I'd like to cut the b******d's balls off, then throw them into the waters where they have committed so many innocents.
Nationally, we can strike at the modern slavers who take advantage of so many immigrants. A lifetime of indentured servitude washing cars or working in male brothels should be a suitable sentence for them...
And yet when the Home Office/police try to arrest 2 of them lots of Scot Nationalstd gather around and make it impossible
Ha Ha , they don't let your SS helpers get away with turfing out immigrants as easily in Scotland. No doubt tehy will be treble handed next time they come though. Good old Tory lies.

i thought these were asylum seekers not modern slavers
Of course they were , Charles lying blatantly in support of his heroes.
How about we allow the asylum seekers in to start picking our fruit in the fields, at least in the short term, until their cases can be heard. I'm sure the farmers would appreciate that as well.

But Charles saw an article which I’m sure will back up his unquestioning devotion to Priti and the Tories.

TUD it will be in the ETON weekly, shocked by those scurrilous Scots and the insurrection.

I hate football precisely because of the kinds of people it attracts.
People use exactly that argument in an attempt to discredit left-wing politics on the basis that some people who claim to be left-wing are horrible antisemites.
Not true whatsoever.
The issue over left-wing horrible antisemites came to the fore when the Labour party chose to elect as its leader one of those horrible antisemites. And when horrible antisemites took key positions in the leadership of the party throughout.
The horrible antisemites had been there throughout, and some still are, but the issue isn't at the fore anymore now that Labour isn't led by a horrible antisemite.
2 - Any recommendations for a decent film as a alternative to this effing football game? Debate (here and elsewhere) seems to be contempt/confrontation-driven. No longer interested.
Could just do like my local where the normal residents have just decided not to let the police in...if they can;t get in they can't prove anything and they can fuck off

Roger, as an advertising chap should understand. A constant refrain of my career in marketing was PUT IT IN THE PICTURES not the words......
Actually quite scary
That will save lives.
Not rescuing people, smuggling them.

Funny how that works.
