Tiny percentage which is compounding year on year
at the end of March 2024, the number of asylum cases awaiting an initial decision (86,460 cases, relating to 118,329 people) was more than one-third (35%) lower than at the end of March 2023
So not "compounding"?

If anything, I'd say it was "reducing".
Reducing for those particular year on year figures.
All this stuff is in the public domain

Yes, but we all know that unless Nige the Liar says it, then it's not considered 'fact'.

I was pointing out that just because it's existing legislation that gives you 'rights', doesn't automatically mean it's a good thing.
Which of the rights the EHCR gives me is a bad thing for me?
Rights are bad if they give protection to people that ‘we’ don’t like, obvs.

You're asking a lot for an answer to that one.

He's dug himself so far in the hole defending Reform that he's actually forgotten why he started digging.

It makes me laugh when Reform supporters get all uppity about any criticism, and cite their "right to an opinion".

You're not being mocked for the opinion you hold.

You're being mocked because of the complete lack of critical thinking that has gone into forming that opinion.

Anyone is entitled to hold any opinion. If you can't back yours up appropriately, expect to be called out on it.

Who are these Reform supporters in the forum you speak of?

I assume there are very few.

Surely that can’t be a stunt you could possibly pull off? Isn’t there any sort of actual ID check to become a candidate like you even need to vote these days?

Imagine losing to a fake AI candidate.

Small issue with those options pictured being Australia turned itself into a prison island with mandatory medical procedures during Covid, Italy stopped people working and earning money unless they conformed to specified medical procedures, and France now has laws that mean you can't criticise or object to 'the party line' on health measures the Government implements without risk of massive fines (or worse IIRC)... so the question is, do you trust them not to do it again next time?

Taken in by what?

The article was about them having to prove they were real. It even says they have spoken to him. It also wasn’t just about him

I'm sure it wasn't, it's usually about smearing the whole party regardless of the validity.
