If you make jokes about rubber dinghies and £45k to sneak (back? How would that even work?) into the UK I will unfriend and, if necessary, block you. The Home Office just made ICE a thing that British authorities do now with the proposed new laws. This includes forcibly restraining children. Children. And BTW it isn’t even £45,000. It is £10k per person up to a max of £40,000. This is going to dramatically backfire.
“You have a rope, a can opener, a loaf of bread, a box of matches and a tube of putty. Demonstrate how these can be used to commit the perfect murder. Bonuses will be awarded if the victim is a member of the aristocracy, but marks will be deducted for every clue left at the scene. You have 45 minutes.”
