Just wait until the government are forced by the high court to stop using those slum hotels to house these people. I'll ask another question, where do you think they will be housed next? Also could someone tell me why some towns/cities are full of illegal immigrants and others have few or none? Wait till the come to live in your area! I live in a sleepy village in Suffolk but still do a lot of work in the Staffordshire Moorlands, guess what, you would be hard pressed to find an illegal immigrant, go into Stoke on Dope and there's hotels full of them, the cynic in me suggests the more affluent areas dont and won't have them, whys that?

Absolutely, and we are seeing one downside of Brexit with the loss of immigrant labour prepared to harvest crops that natives aren't prepared to. I've worked with Eastern Europeans on some of those jobs, and their work ethic puts us to shame.

Though ignoring that 94% of UK immigrants are authorised, and out of the rest many are seeking asylum and sanctuary in the UK from wars and persecutions elsewhere - immigration as a whole to the UK can be predicted to happen. The last government and this one have encouraged about 1 million immigrants a year. With that number there will be those that come along for the ride when they are not meant to. I guess that is predictable. The predictions are that with the UKs flat to falling birth rates we 'need' immigrants to sustain the system as our home grown population falls - governments will keep authorising a lot of immigrants to feed the system for good while yet.

Indeed it was, but the problem is that it's a very fine line between realism and warnings of impending problems against being labelled Racist/Xenophobic. This country has long been a melting pot of races and religions, and I believe that in the past, immigrants tried to integrate and become members of the wider community. With the greater numbers coming in, and encountering a less tolerant attitude ( coupled with the Professional Complainers being offended on behalf of various nationalities ) I believe it's leading to more and more enclaves of various Ethnic groups being formed. There is the danger of what we might call " native " ( blimey, we're a mixture French, Scandinavian, what have you, with a German/Greek Royal Family ) residents being overwhelmed. Listen to Enoch Powell's speeches, they were warnings, not calls to arms. Sadly, some of the more ardent and vocal opponents of immigration are not the most shining examples of humanity, shall we say.

I guess that with 60 or 70 years of TV we can pick and chose which clip to focus on and say "look they knew", and likewise there will be many clips that we can pick and chose from to show "look they had no clue". This of course has accelerated with the number of clips and posts on the internet - somewhere someone will be a genius for predictions, but 99% will be seen as idiots. So with hindsight we can be very selective. A couple or 3 examples: Nostradamus the French fortune teller has his verse interpreted after an event with all saying "look he knew"... and a few years later the same verse is looked at in hindsight again and applied to a different event. Same words but different events. Could also look to politics the 'massive' benefits of Brexit or the doom and gloom of Brexit - one side knew, the other didn't, one side can say "told you so" whichever way the future pans out in the next 5 years, but about half the population will be wrong with the view they had at the time. The Simpsons! Often after the event hailed as a genius show for the predictions that have happened in reality.

Ok, to celebrate my new truck, here in chronological order are my pick ups. We are missing a turbo red hilux between the other red one and the navarra, but you can’t have everything. Yellow P100 97/98 ish as a starting point.

Don't talk to me like I'm some sort of cnut, I asked a question, that being, was the current crisis of illegal immigration predicted years ago.

OK if you don't like or understand "argument " a discussion might be better. Put together what you mean rather than soundbites, then no one will come at it from an incorrect assumption on what you mean otherwise we get tangential posts.

Why are we talking about hindsight? Surely the two links I've posted are from years ago, before the current issue with illegal immigrants?

Been meaning to get a chronological line up of the trucks at some point. P100 hilux hilux navarra land rover ranger ranger ranger ranger. i’ll work on it this weekend.

Everything is predictable in hindsight.

Everything is predictable a ways off. When the clouds darken we expect rain. The issue is not lack of foresight, it's lack of will to change behavior today. Same principal applies to individuals and the collective. Recent history is replete with great examples of this "sin of sloth". Take the second Trump election. The establishment had all the good evidence their woke direction was leading to failure at the box, but they ran the woke candidate all the same. Another glaring example is Ukraine. The conclusion was set in stone at the start. All it took was a quick look at the known figures, military capacity, manpower, resources etc and an honest appraisal of the geopolitical alliances. Yet another example, Covid. Yet another example, Tories. Yet another example, Labour. Yet another example, green energy.

4 banger, the V6 would not be eligible for VAT recuperation etc. France etc… 205 horses though, so plenty enough for 2 plus tonne machines on an Ifor.

I didn't post for an argument, lets have a look at it fron back in the day. Let me make it blatantly clear, I couldn’t stick this woman but was she wrong about this? 15K reactions · 6.7K shares | Was thatcher correct? Should our... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Was thatcher correct?

I use software from Otiss/Pear Technology. It's about £360/year. Helpful support staff. I would do some practice surveys first and get the hang of using it. There are a lot of options re what you record. Then there is the facility to download as pdf files or Excel. I find the Excel a bit of a pain as not too familiar with setting out. Also with such a large acreage, you will have to see what sizes to divide the site up for your online maps. It's a very big site for beginning out on, so definitely do a few practices in a park or small woodland.

If you pass your PTI you might be in a for a bit of a shock when you start doing surveys, its a bit like passing your driving test then getting into a car on your own and straight onto a busy motorway. The question is what are you doing surveys for? If it is risk surveys then alll you fundamentally need is a dot to show where the tree is and maybe a splodge to show where groups are. Millions of chap ways of doing that. If you're doing development surveys , anything short of CAD mappig with accurate protrayal of posiiton, 4 way crown spread and root protecton areas will be worse than useless. For a start, the client will usually send you a CAD site plan to use and to add your data to. There is an interpla between how cheap your maps are, how good they are, how easy to use in the field, how easy in teh office, and how helpful they are to clients. You coud steal OS mapping from the internet, print it out, take it on a clipboard and mark trees with a pen. At the other end of the spectrum you can buy or use CAD OS or topo survey drawings, put them on a GPS device, plot accurately in the field with facilites to record heights diameters etc, take these to office and download and present in reports and export modified CAD to client. The latter is best and most expensive but also most effcient and most useful to client, but the initial set-up costs only pay dividends after several uses. I use PT Mapper, QCAD and Pocket GIS and I am probably at the equivalent of £1 a report by now.

Did you spill my pint?

The portrait room at Mick’s chateau-bistro has one of him in the best spot, facing the entrance door. Then a chronological succession of new trucks, each accompanied by their finance agreements (or cash receipts) in gilded frames. A small one of Igor sits between two suits of armour and a sunshadowed rectangle of empty space rests quietly where the wife took hers down to see if he’d notice. She took it down in 2017.

I suppose. After the second line I knew a three was out of the equation, so its just any word that uses different letters.

Soundbite 1am post, why not assemble an argument instead?

That’s a weird 3rd guess
