What do you think is bad about the India deal?
Plenty of things to blame Starmer for, I can’t see how the India or the initial US fall into that catagory. |

Where do you draw the line of beyond all guilt?
How do you decide what crimes are either side of the line?
What does that mean for those below that line? Let them off?
Look at America, capital punishment can take decades and millions to have in place. It’s not the cheap option some seem to think it is. |

I’m would have no issue in this scumbag being killed by the state.
What I do have an issue with is the result of doing so would see innocent people killed and guilty people getting off.
That’s why we shouldn’t do it. |

It’s more than a political plaything. It’s a culture wars wedge designed to stir the anger of those who can only see things through the prism of immigration.
Lee Anderson literal campaign strategy was based on such things.
The politics of hate. |

Taken out of context, yes.
In context it's the same agreement we have with around 50 other countries to avoid double taxation - they pay their tax in their home country (as our workers would in the reverse.
Also the costs to Indian companies to second workers over means numbers are likely to be limited. And there's a three year limit.
There are stacks of positives from that deal, yet the above has become the focus. Sadly. |

I'm really pleased that we're standing our ground on food standards.
It's only the start but as you say, it's a pretty decent one.
On this occasion it's not been hijacked like the Indian deal did by the media. Stiil so disappoined by how many got suckered in by the way it was presented. |

It's only really in Trump's favour in that it dails back some of the stupidly imposed tarrifs.
The India deal was commeted on here at length, especially the ridiculous way it was reported in the right wing press. |

There was a wonderful, emotional story on the radio earlier.
Bloke said his dad was involved in D day but would never talk about it. When it came time to do a clear out, he found a load his dad’s medals so said to him ‘Dad, you must have been a hero?’
His dad replied ‘I’m no hero, all the hero’s are still in France’ |

Yep. Also the cost to move a worker over means they probably won’t be cheaper to employ anyway.
And it’s the lies that slow everything down.
It’s hard to have a discussion when you have waste time establishing the facts first. [Post edited 7 May 21:18]

One of the primary issues is low birth rate.
We’ve an aging population and people aren’t having enough kids to do the things we need.
Immigrants are filling that gap. |

I’ve read that too.
Twitter being prime example. It was a cesspit before Musk took over. I don’t have the words for it now. [Post edited 7 May 18:04]

And it’s now based on negativity.
We’ve now got the details and know what we’re talking about:
- Indian companies can second workers temporarily to the uk and not pay NI for that period to prevent double taxation
- this kind of agreement we already have with around 50 countries
- the trade agreement will generate billions of pounds for our economy
- it’s the biggest agreement since Brexit
- people will see costs fall on some significant products
- British businesses will benefit from increased imports
Yet this has morphed into ‘Indians are taking our jobs’ |

There are three million female players registered with the FA.
29 are trans.
Or 0.00001%
Surely this topic doesn’t need to be as hot as it is? I agree with the ruling and the FA announcement but blimey, should it deserve the air time it gets? |

It’s another example of how the Tories are screwed.
They’ve no attack lines as things still often come back to them. |
