Just regarding the backlog in relation to Irish passports, a family friend locally had a sibling die sudden in the UK and was unable to get to their funeral due to not having got their passport renewal back in time even though they had applied for it weeks beforehand. Having been in the UK recently, the airlines will not let you travel w/o a passport even though there was no passport check on the UK side, funnily enough on returning to Ireland all arrivals from the UK had to pass thru a passport check and immigration control including myself. It seems they are stricter on this side of the pond.
I renewed my own recently, I paid extra for the express service which usually takes 14 days, I had to wait nearly 4 weeks to receive it. Consequently I believe new passport admin have been recruited to deal with the surge and there is some kind of online application in the offing.

Apologies for being a pedant, but... "The Pond" refers to the Atlantic Ocean. "This side of the Pond" refers to being either one one side, the New World, or the other, in Europe.

I don't know what is the equivalent expression regarding the Irish Sea, but the way you're using it gives the wrong idea.

We use the pond for the Atlantic as well in general. But as the Yanks are not relevant to Brexit, I`m just being a bit lazy. Its more hassle to type Irish Sea rather than pond. I could say this side of the "water" as well, which we use, but I`m sure that would be just as deficient. I`ll have to up my game and make the effort.:)

This early election can't have anything to do with the fact that 30 Tory MPs are being investigated for electoral fraud, but can stand again anyway, can it?
It kind of distracts things away from that, doesn't it?

It also makes the May elections a mote point.
 
Ouch. I hadn't heard of this. What did they do, exactly?
They spent more than they should have done and tried to claim that it was national expenses. Goggle battle bus. They still claim that they have done no wrong and the real issue is; at the end of the day, they will just get a fine.

No it has to do with this "The Labour party has become institutionally anti-Semitic"

Labour party linked to increase in anti-Semitic incidents, according to charity report

Tories Know, and the country, NO party that openly preaches hatred to Jews can win an election. The fact is even with tory fraud allegations, they still can't lose. That is how bad labour is.


OUCH!

No evidence and police still have not charged any one or said who is guilty. Sounds like fake news and more likely is fake news. Labour trying to hide their hatred to Jews by throwing this story up.

Bla Bla Bla. TM's called an election. Nick Glegg agreed to a coalition if there was a fixed term. The Tories (as usual) overruled it. N ick Clegg also lied about student fees.

Anyway, there are other people. I thionk this needs to be said. The question was 'Do you want the UK to be a member of the european union? It was not: Are you a white supremasist?

As someone who fought against the BNP and the NF, I could be a wimp and say 'Oh, I'm offended. Shut up or I'll get sopmeone to shut you up' But cowardice is disgusting..

Where I live... My doors are open. Just saying if you want to really talk.

You seem too concerned to be offended for someone else. Sort your own crap out first, yeah?

Red Ken, quoted an historical fact. Just because some people don't like the fact that it is a fact, it has been used as a weapon against him, by his own party and now, of course, the labour party.

You get some loud mouth shouting 'he, or they are anti-Semitic' and then any idiot can just jump on that band wagon.

To question Israeli policy on any matter, is labelled as being anti-Semitic; that is wrong and you know it. I am now going to be labelled in the same way for simply raising this point; so be it.

Oh, really? Share your wisdom please.

It's the youtube generation for you, thick, useless and uneducated. This is why they dumb down their exams to make them employable, though they still hire EU citizens in to clear the streets because they can even do that.
Ok, then, wise one. Show us the way...

That is not why she got suspended it was the words she used and hence why Labour leaders , those that were mates of the IRA had them suspended. You don't get suspended for doing nothing. TUT

she is accused of sharing anti-Semitic posts promoting Jewish conspiracy theories on her Facebook account: one accusing Israel of selling oil smuggled from ISIS territories and another saying that Israel ‘manufactured’ last year's Labour Party anti-semitism row and inquiry.

IF YOU READ THE LINK I GAVE IT EVEN SAYS SO.

Here it is again

Oh you just love to troll, talk facts, prove the drivel you spout or shut up.

Haavara Agreement. 1933. Is what Red Ken was talking about. It happened, it is fact, but don't dare mention it today, as it is not politically correct to do so.
