What would "Dads Army" do and deal with the Migrants by the tunnel

dj Anyone noticed how ill Teresa May looks these days?

I think she lost a lot of weight having been diagnosed with diabetes; sometimes losing weight fairly quickly can make people look what DA used to call 'drawn'.

She didn't look well when she was in France, she must be stressed and wuite exhausted, but she did take a holiday shortly after the house closed

The refugee crisis is taking its toll.

Silly me jingle, I see that now sorry , I don't object to it as long as it's the woman's choice, I am concerned some men with brains below their waist will think if a woman chooses not to travel in a woman's only area she is begging for it. I think Corbyn just put it forward as a suggestion after being asked about the rise in attacks on women

I'd have thought it was obvious, but apparently not!

in one

Ana has got it one.

Anniebach I was on the wrong thread. Can you please read that post in the context of the 'Corbyn latest idea' thread.

Thank you Ana. Am having a lovely time with my two young hooligans little darlings.

I think jingl meant to post on the 'How Stupid is Corbyn getting' thread.

In joke perhaps?

Jingle, I am sorry, I don't know what you mean

Gave me the best laugh I've had all day though!
Hope you're enjoying your break!

Blimey Ana! Quick off the mark or what!

I DO NOT HONK! I THINK!!!

[flippin' I-pad!]

Honk?

AnniEbach It's sad that we still need those things, and probably always will. But I do think this latest suggestion would start to put women back into the weaker sex category. And then, how long before women are back under men's thumbs? Not good, I honk.

Roseq, I think you know that vampire has her own problems with officialdom as told frequently on different threads. She is unlikely to mean all in officialdom. I certainly did not take her to mean those in my family who work for the council. I think you are probably quite safe.

vq and stb
or are you just talking generally about those in officialdom?

I hope not all (speaking as an ex-civil servant)

They're not paid to have feelings or empathy. They're paid to hit targets or else. As the 'or else' is held over them they sometimes end up making decisions that are cruel

If you dont mind me asking vampirequeen, do you know that specifically about visa/asylum/refugee/migrant situations, or are you just talking generally about those in officialdom?

There's always a 'jobsworth' and petty officialdom seems to abound with them.

They're not paid to have feelings or empathy. They're paid to hit targets or else. As the 'or else' is held over them they sometimes end up making decisions that are cruel.

The Canadian lady and her husband are easy to deal with. They don't hide where they are and have been up front about their reasons for coming to live in the UK. Send her back to Canada and you have another box ticked and another target achieved.

Only just caught up with this - I have said before on other threads that Commonwealth citizens are being unfairly treated re visas - I believe due to new rules. No doubt someone could find a link.
This has had a knock-on effect because now British people wishing to obtain other than temporary holiday visas in countries such as Australia are having to go through a tortuous process and are more likely to be denied a visa or residency.

One wonders just what sort of brains these bureaucrats have (certainly robotic and without a jot of feeling or empathy).

Ye Gods

I made just '1' post only on this thread at. 00.45 monday

Anniebach Tues 16.59. POGS Not like you to avoid a straight answer.
Anniebach Tues 20.58. I asked 'her' 3 minutes after POGS posted
Anniebach Tues 21.17. Mixed POGS up with Jane 10. I apologise to Jane 10

Thank you Anniebach. Not sure what for, certainly not an apology .

As you were so persistent I made the post at 00.45 Monday as daughter and husband not home from hospital until 11.30pm and couldn't sleep. Didn't post much or not at all, not sure , Tuesday due to related health issues, hence posted at another ridiculous time of day wednesday as I can't sleep. Happy?

Yes, it's the cruelty of forcing this woman to leave her husband in hospital we should be angry about, surely the rules could be eased to allow her to be with her husband as he is treated for cancer , the women is a member of the commonwealth , wish the queen would step in in this , she goes on and on about the importance of the commonwealth. Dear God this couple need each other , it really is brutal
