Our ragtag bunch will be taking Northampton UNCHALLENGED.
Mainly by sitting in an old man boozer and misjudging how long it takes to get to the ground so missing kick off |

Which is basically what Chelsea did with their hotel. They’ve also “sold” their women’s team to their own owners.
Basically clubs are doing a bunch of really shady stuff as a result of this change and like Pat said I can see it ending in disaster |

You’ll be looking at over a ton for hull on the trains, London without a rail card now is £58 off peak return. F*cking p*ds take prices |

Yup exactly that, also if you think of one thing in isolation it won’t seem much, add them up and it’s a fair chunk. Especially at £7.30 a pint (couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that) |

Climbing walls, darts and shooting ranges, the chapel paramilitary training center is being built.
I assume they'll turf them out into the gulags ready to scale the walls and slaughter the away fans.
WE MARCH ON (the enemy) |

Gotsmanov, or as On The March named him "Getimoff" was bloody awful |

I'm not sure where you've got your numbers from? But the current population increase in the UK stands at 7.3% and we're due to reach the projected peak of population growth in the UK in 2032.
If you look at the ONS stats and projections it looks like - due to the lower fertility rate of 1.41 and the fact the death rate will outstrip the birth rate by 2029 - that we start to enter a population decline irregardless of immigration being at the current level or not.
This isn't just us by the way, the entire EU is predicted to decline in population by around 1.2m people in that time frame.
Also the ONS projections look like somewhere in the region of 5-9.9m people will emigrate in the same period. |

1. 12;30 kick offs are an awful time for a game
2. For the first time since st Mary’s opened I was at the chapel end of the ground, it made me realise how bad away fans must think our support is now, you literally can’t hear the northam at all
3. The chapel by the away fans has potential massive improvement on the northam but still only a small amount of people there, hopefully that’ll change
4. For most of the game I had no idea where the goals were going to come from slightly concerning that it looks like we’ve yet to fix that
5. Fernandes was the game changer we need to do all we can to keep him |

From what I’ve heard I’m a bit more confident Fernandes will stay, obviously that can change but that’s what I’ve heard |

An ugly exclusive apparently we’ve got three loan signings coming in. Keeper, full back and one other, and one of them the club are particularly excited about |

I really hope someone asks a question about expanding the stadium, or a question about the pies.
Even better would be a 20min topic about the women's team that no one gives two sh*ts about |

I think you’re mistaking opinion with facts here. I’m not stating an opinion, in fact I’m intentionally not getting involved in that conversation. I’m just stating the facts as they’re written in the law.
I could also be wrong on the Aussie thing as it came from memory as I’m sure I read it somewhere. I also would be surprised if it was south Asian due to family links and expired visa too |

I'd put good money on the people getting those contracts being conservative party donors too (well possible labour now given they're in power). |

Given it seems possible that almost a third of the UK's population could be over the age of 65 by 2070, and the uk's reducing birth rate it's actually fairly imperative we have immigration to support the economy, pensions and thing like health care.
It's entirely feasible that without enough working age people paying into the pension pot, and with a population that needs more health care support and are less likely to be able to work that the country could be in for an extreme challenge.
In the short term you'd probably have to predict a contrition in the economy and negative growth (you only need to look at Japan to see our future there), in the longer term an end to state pensions and health care seems fairly probable |

They absolutely would have access to free health care at the point of use, as would any person in the country as it's the core principle of the NHS (and what makes so it great).
As for the other part it's pretty irrelevant in the eyes of the law, however you've arrived here your status is determined by that law.
There have been some amendments since 1951, most notably 1967 and 1974 (i think) but by and large it's the same everywhere in the world.
So the facts of the law are that a person who arrives on the shore - however they arrive - and stays somewhere - whereever they stay - is not legal or illegal until the claim is processed.
Someone who overstays a visa is immediately illegal.
Which i guess is the murky side of this survey, because people don't always understand the legalities and so in many ways the question is unfair. It's asking an easily misconstrued question "who many illegal immigrants are there in your estimation" which has a factual answer "the amount is down to those who've over stayed visas or remained after their application has been rejected".
Now most people won't think that, when asked they'll think "how many have arrived in the country via non traditional routes" so they've answered it to the best of their ability/knowledge (and with a degree of bias based on the current media framing).
Which makes the question/article pretty clickbait and unhelpful as it frames people as lacking knowledge, rather than framing the question as leading to get a headline |

If i remember rightly (and it's been a while since i've done anything international law related) almost every country on earth is signed up to the UN Charter that sets it out in law with the exception of North Korea, Russia, Afghanistan, Cuba, America and possibly Hungary.
Even Pakistan and Iraq signed up to it fairly recently i believe (though i think Pakistan was civil law as part of an agreement with India) |
