The Home Secretary of the UK has the right to deport someone who was born in Northern Ireland, and chose an Irish passport over a British one, to the Republic, if they commit a serious crime. I can think of plenty of people we should have deported, and forbid from returning.

I’ve come to the conclusion that if you have a service that works for you, never look at the price. Recently I switched mobile network and broadband providers from ones that I was happy with to ones who were cheaper but, on papers equally good. In both cases it was a mistake ☹️

Arsenal are top of the league and top of the champions league. And that was without Kai Havertz. The first half of the game tonight showed how much better we are when he plays. He is Der Raumdeuter 😍
