^Yep I know that, but the brain dead down here don't, Nicola says that all refugees are welcome, I think when these migrants have got settled in then they'll demand their nearest and dearest plus a couple of dozen hangers on should join them in this generous benefit free for all.

That is very magnanimous of Nicola but I insist she pays for those migrants out of your taxes instead of taking it from the Barnett formula money.

That makes a change, I can't remember agreeing with Angela Rayner on anything before but on this I do.
Bozo, be a prime minister or **** off and let someone else make the tough decisions.

Actually, my taxes go towards that anyway. Aberdeen City generates more tax revenue than it gets back in local authority funding. We're the worst funded council area in Scotland.

Saw that on the BBC news website yesterday - they put Pakistan and Bangladesh on the Red List and then seemingly dither about India for two weeks. In the meantime there's a stampede back to the UK by people visiting family in India, plus you add in the Eid holiday for Muslims, so there's no wonder that the new virus hotspots are in areas with large South Asian populations like Bolton and the South Side of Glasgow.

Well, Germany has put the UK back on the list of high risk zones and issued a travel warning, due to the Indian variant.

Meh!. According to Catfish the EU countries should avoid the UK like the plague anyway so there's nothing new in that news Skybird.
Come to the UK and get this new India virus variant now or wait a few weeks for it to go rampaging around the EU states, your choice.
When we ban you lot for having this new India virus variant you'll just see how stupidly ineffective all these ban measures are, the European Western politicians are as thick as planks.

The Indian Government are doing themselves no favours here.

Give it time old boy and Nicola will sort you all out for the better, meanwhile, in the land of milk and honey "Tory England" we have someone down here "Bozo Johnson" just as inept as your Nicola is, at least Nicki is a female who would come in handy every now and then whereas our Bozo is only useful if you're a bloody shirt lifter.
What a bleeding choice to pick from, what the **** has happened since Churchill's mob kicked the bucket.
