  1. I have no idea of what the deportation process is but surely every one of them has been fingerprinted and photographed. If they attempt to re-enter the country or, more likely, are then found to be back here thanks to the free-pay card we've just give them to buy a seat back on the next boat, then lock them up and immediately deport. No review, no appeals. Just fuck them back off. I read yesterday of an Afghan who won asylum only to go back there on holiday. Fuck me, if that's not an immediate revoke and deport, then you can understand people's need to protest etc etc. That being said, there remains the humanitarian in me that supports genuine asylum seekers who do wish to earn a right to live here and seeing right-wing activists riling protests in the name of nationalism or patriotism gets me going to the opposite reason. Those genuines have left some shit holes of places facing god knows what horrors. It's just that they're probably in a minority of immigrants being tarnished with the brush of those coming here intent to steal living. I genuinely feel torn between sympathy for those who flee for a safe and better life, and the need to shoot invaders who have no intention of putting into the country*. *None of the above is meant to inflame or incite any kind of violence.
  2. I use hot water, cider vinegar and a drop of W-U-L. Stir together in a shallow glass dish like a individual cheesecake/creme-brulee pot about half-full. The important thing to do is stretch clingfilm over the top and poke half a dozen holes in it. Flies climb in and somehow don't know how to crawl back out of the same hole. I get at least 50 of the buggers a week during the summer with this. I did the same at work a couple of years ago and the cleaner now does it wherever she goes too. I read somewhere that we bring them in on the fruit we buy from the supermarkets. They lay the eggs and stay dormant until they get into the warmth and then hatch as the fruit ripens.
  3. Judicious use of wording IMO. Nothing there says anything other than DD. Have to chalk this one up like you said, I suppose. But def shady way to do business.
  4. Contact Halifax and see if you can register a 'chargeback' if paid on debit card. I'm sure they'll either refund you or tell you exactly why Urban could take money using a dead card's details...
