The Independent
That wll cost as much as 4 years at Eton and may mean conditions in prison willl get worse.
Seems mad to me

I find it espeiall uosetting to see how asylum seekers are treated.I have come to dislike many British attitudes and ignorances
Yes, same here in Australia, though I think the tide is slowly turning, attitudes are hard to shift.
People love a scapegoat.And the British are not all pure Anglo-Saons
No that’s true, and we Australians are even less so 🙂 Yes, scapegoats seem to be common.
I feel sad about how the Government and the press are so horrible about people who are in big trouble.Jesus was crucified.He may not be God but was very wise
Yes, sadly we seem to just keep crucifying.
