You may test that assumption at your convinience.

I'm sorry, what?
Don't know why you're surprised; They outsource everything these days. Plus, you know, plausible deniability. "We had no idea what the actual conditions were, the people we paid to create concentration camps lied to us!".

Hey, at least now they can use the sunk cost fallacy to push their agenda..... Frankly allowing the asylum seekers to stay would likely have improved the economy over all, if they were smart about it.(potential new workers and consumers). Xenophobia is a hell of a drug.

And all this from a party lead by a guy who would have fallen victim to the "britain for the british" mentality less than a generation ago.

Depressingly, it probably shows what non-white British people have to do (or feel that they have to do) in order to be accepted as senior politicians in this country. A policy that a decade ago would merely be the brain-fart of the BNP, UKIP or any other fringe far-right party.

Dude, I've worked security in Kansas City for almost 6 months now. It is a ******* plague.
There's one grocery store that is so often picked clean that they literally only have 4 shopping carts left. Every other cart has been stolen. And they even walked away with the cart wheel unlock remote so they can bypass the locking wheels.

I and 2 other security people stopped a shoplifting attempt at a clothing store. They just grabbed handfuls and walked out to their car. We stopped them and their words were, "you can't stop us. We're gonna call and get you all fired and come back tomorrow".

And on the flip side, your job is probably toast anyway as soon as the store owners realize that sort of thing is happening and decide keeping security on payroll isn't worth the expense.

Probably more than a bit of Trumpian “the rules don’t apply to me” thinking on his part.

I voted LibDem in the PCC election. Thought it the best shot at unseating the Tory incumbent, and to me Labour is still as toxic as the Tories.

Prime minister about to call a general election on 4th July. Allegedly.

Edit: he called it.

When it leads to the Tories getting buried in a record-breaking landslide, feel free to steal our national holiday. Lord knows we don't have any excuse to keep celebrating it.
