Seems this one was similar. It doesn’t scream the wonka experience which was a blatant scam/cash grab. This just seemed like a family farm trying to pull together a somewhat decent event that’ll break even.

I think the fancy ones are literal pumpkin patches where you pick it from the ground, but even then, not all of them are like that

Political ideology being promoted in schools should be allowed, as long as I agree with said political ideology.

Matthew 5:38-48
You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Not saying either are correct, but still. What a tool.
- Comment on Home Office denies British baby living in Thailand chance to meet great-grandfather in UK 4 days ago:
You talk about resettlement programs and how they’re a good way of doing things. How about the countries who destabilised these nations, takes on those seeking asylum? In which case Turkey should bear zero Afghan or Iraqi immigrants, and the western world should bear all of them. Or does it only work one way, in your mind?
Fair point. I’m just talking about border security here.
The rest of the points you make are fair, too. Ideally we shouldn’t have destabilised the middle east to begin with. Can we blame the USA on this one? 😂
- Comment on Home Office denies British baby living in Thailand chance to meet great-grandfather in UK 5 days ago:
There is no limitations on how many safe countries you can travel THROUGH before applying for asylum status. As long as you apply for asylum status.
There should be a limit. This convention is an issue and should either be rewritten or completely disregarded. People are using the veneer of asylum seeking to migrate to countries they want to go to, someone in their right mind genuinely fleeing a war for the sake of their lives isn’t going to risk their life and families further than necessary getting on a dodgy dinghy. The only people who do that are grifters with no regards for the law.
Asylum spending is 0.25% of the budget. Oil subsidies are 2%. Priorities?
This Lemmy post has nothing to do with oil subsidies. 0.25% of the national budget of one of the largest economies in the world is still a lot of money and could go elsewhere.
which used to be 2 years, they were considering upping it to 5 years. Which is dumb.
Better yet, if you have arrived via a safe country, deportation. The Rwanda policy was a good answer to this issue.
The best thing we to do in caring for refugees is having settlement programmes to relieve our European neighbours such as the Mediterranean countries and Turkiye. Like what we did with Ukraine. I’d argue that debate even then is completely different from the small boats debate. Which in itself is completely different from the wider immigration debate as a whole.
Being anti people crossing the Irish Border, or the English channel on a small boat, is not an anti immigration or even anti asylum seeker sentiment. It’s a sake of national and even international security (in terms of crime gangs).
- Comment on Home Office denies British baby living in Thailand chance to meet great-grandfather in UK 5 days ago:
Most immigration isn’t done by paying criminal gangs to help you skirt past immigration controls by throwing you on a dodgy inflatable dinghy and sailing across the English channel so you can enter the country unvetted.
- Comment on Home Office denies British baby living in Thailand chance to meet great-grandfather in UK 5 days ago:
What I said was largely pro immigration. I’m critical of the home office policies.

I love how society always goes full circle on eugenics. Where I live recently had it legalised. Anyone protesting it in a wrong manner gets jailed. Someone should study how we can’t seem to beat fascism.
