Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”
Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.
The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.
The ban comes into force today.
Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.
“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.
“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.
“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.
It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.
Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.
The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.
Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”
A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.
“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.
“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.
Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.
President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.
The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.
Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.

The whole issue is about money. We should have a credit based system, not a debt based system. If the central banks can create the money out of thin air, how can they charge interest out of that money. This whole world is completely bonkers and whoever you vote for, the same system will still be in place, benefiting the people who run all these Ponzi schemes and scams that are happening on a pandemic type level. We must wake up as a species and realise we are here to live and not here to serve the few who are controlling the system.

the bar to getting into Uni should be high, but because now its a business, it's open to all, whether you are capable or not. a lot of people should never even be considered for Uni,
they mount up debt that they should never have accepted. Uni is supposed to weed out the stupid and incapable, it's supposed to be for the best of the best.
sadly now its all about bums on seats, regardless of ability.

Politicians attack young people and students for going to university rather than going into the trades or vocational opportunities, at school they never explained the real opportunities out there when you got into Sixth Form it was given at my Sixth form that you would go to university and there was no alternative

I really liked Tice originally, but some of his policies have deterred me. Reducing the term and reduces the places are a good idea, but why should the rest of the taxpayers who did not go to uni pay the interest cost of Govt borrowing for those that do, especially those that do not complete their courses? Graduates start work 3+ years later; expect to earn significantly more: and retire earlier, so let them bear the cost of their decision. Thereon, all banks will write off debt deemed unrecoverable on a macro level for accounting purposes, but they still pursue the individual debt and charged interest. It is a bookkeeping exercise. Indeed, only around 30% of students will fully repay their debt. He has some good ideas, but he appears unable to consider the full consequences or alternatives.

It all goes back to 1997 and Tony B Liar, aka Miranda or Charles Lynton…
They made all the school leavers go to university, if remotely possible, mainly to keep youth unemployment figures artificially low!!!!!
They only cared about the figures making them look good!

As someone who graduated a few years ago all I can say is don't go to Uni unless the field you want to work in requires a specialist degree. I have a decent job now and have started repaying but when I started off all I can say was there were so many cannon fodder jobs out there which don't even require a degree. The first company I worked for had about half it's employees who never went to Uni and purely had experience. I worked my way up but effectively you don't need a degree to open doors or succeed it's all experience and self determination. University is the greatest lie avoid it if you can!

Who pays for the 100s of 1000s foreign students that come here to cough cough study?
I read an article about 10yrs ago that said foreign students own the UK £400 million in unpaid students loans every year. I bet u can triple the £400 million now.

Education has become a huge global business, mass indoctrination camp and Trojan Horse for foreign ‘students’ to get into the country and never leave. Can foreign students also get student loans that are written off?? The student loans system is just one part of it. The whole thing is rotten to the core.

The other irony is university’s are no longer providing people with the skills industry requires. The skills gap is a massive problem to the UK economy ! So many companies can’t employ the people with the skills they need. This is costing the economy over £100 billion and growing per annum !
@dartmoor123
December 20, 2023 at 10:04 am
When Blair decreed that 50% 0f young people should go to university, academics couldn't understand the logic of the requirement. However, the academic system soon invented rubbish courses at degree level, and masters level courses for areas where ther were were no possibilities of subsequent employment. Some courses appear to be part of the immigration industry . Where is the integrity in the academic sector? The best courses are sandwich courses where the student does 6 months in industry and six months at college, with no long holidays

Tice's criticisms are valid I believe, both for graduates and for the Exchequer. It's long been evident that politicians of all flavours are keen to associate themselves with high tertiary education participation rates, and the loan scheme seems designed in part to kick the can so far down the road that today's Parliamentarians don't have to worry about the future debt mountain nor about the effects on the economy of adding 9% to income tax for half the country.
As for solutions, Tice's contribution is at best facile and at worst deeply cynical. Extending the term to 45 years will, thanks to fiscal drag, draw many more lower earners into the repayment zone when their debts would otherwise be forgiven after 25. As a result, his suggestions are extremely regressive and unhelpfully naive. Not to mention how he would propose to cut university places by 20%; or lawfully vary the terms of the £200bn loans already issued.
