Very resonable requests, these answers should already have been provided for many years. Therefore shame even on earlier Conservative governments.

They get a pre paid card called an Aspen card. It’s alleged, although denied, that it already has £175 on once received and is topped up weekly by that amount. If the Labour Party is increasing our taxes to pay for this, and other things, I need to know how they are spending my money.

That’s what I thought too. But this is doing the rounds. I don’t know how genuine it is. I think it’s right that they get an Aspen card, but the amount might be disputed.

I’m trying to add an attachment but it won’t let me. I will keep trying

Several years ago the Asylum Seekers I knew were get around £36 per week for their food and other costs (clothing etc) per person. They were put up in HMOs (unless it was a family) where the Heat, light and power was paid for.

I now know of other Asylum Seekers who have no access to public funds.

Where did you get your figures from?

Thank you Matt for all you're doing. We need more fighters and investigators to join. These are bad times indeed.

These are legitimate questions but I think they need to go beyond nationality and immigration status. My wife is an immigrant and naturalised British citizen, law abiding and with a strong sense of loyalty and goodwill to this country. The Southport suspect and many of the men in the grooming gangs will be recorded as simply British citizens born in this country.

There is a growing problem of inter-ethnic violence that is being swept under the carpet and censored. We need to ask, what is the breakdown of victims and perpetrators in numerical terms? We need the facts to challenge the elite spin - it was a Welshman what done it, we are looking for a man (no description), don't look back in anger, the community is pulling together, etc.

Good point.

We need more people like your wife and a lot less of the ones who come to take and who never have allegiance or loyalty to this country.

I wouldn’t trust the government at all with the figures if they can put women down as rapists, just because they identify with being a woman.

Well said Badger. My husband was ethnic minority and loved this country. He had a difficult start, arriving when there were signs around London saying 'No blacks'. I often relate a story when one day he decided to ignore it and go into the shop and ask for a job.

Well, after these awful experiences he called this country his own and loved London. I hear now that London is difficult to love.

Keep fighting Badger.

I am Peter Lynch.

Kathy Gyngell does a week in review of TCW. I never read it as it’s a rehash of the weeks articles. Perhaps I should. She wrote this on 20th October and I only just saw it:

One communication in particular ensured my week ended on a happy note. A reader offered to contact, on my behalf, Matt Goodin – academic champion and analyst of the politics and thinking we pursue here – to see if Goodin would agree to TCW republishing some of his Substack articles. He did and Matt agreed!

Hi Matt, You may be missing a trick or I may be having a senior moment! I see your invite for potential members to actually subscribe for the price of a pint per month. I don’t see anywhere for subscribers like me to also pay you say a one off payment (£5, 10, 20 etc) when we want to provide additional support? ATB, Tom

Hi Matt, The link which you sent me didn’t go directly to the Donate page on my iPhone app. But after quite a bit of “navigating” I found it and donated £10! 😁 For people like me who use their smart phones much more than their computers, I think this could be improved for smart phones, and increase your revenue!👍😁. Thanks for your excellent analyses of how the elite blob try to manipulate the British people to achieve outcomes in their own misguided interests rather than outcomes which are in the interests of the British people. Please keep up the good work, please keep coaching others like you who will help spread the word and most of all please make sure to protect yourself from people who would do you harm and silence the source of the many messages of hope which you send. Very Best Wishes, Tom

Good luck. Maybe the human bollard will be forced to give the data if we keep pestering him and his cabal.
