I just had a look at the website of one of the companies in the industry - one that maintains these vessels, and a former client of ours. Their website is for investors, not for customers. I mean, why do you think a company like Saudi Aramco has a website? To tell consumers where they can fill...
Cars and yachts are different. I've never seen an advert for a £300 million superyacht. I don't read those kinds of magazines. Do you? Have they made you want to buy one?
They have them. But they're not sales tools. You're not going to find an "add to cart" button on their sites.
As for how you browse the market, your PA arranges a meeting with a representative of the yacht builder who takes your requirements and comes back with a proposed design. These things...
If your clients are, for example, people who want to buy £100 million superyachts, you don't need a website to sell your company. Your potential customers aren't going to be sold on a Google search. They're going to find out from their friends who have £100 million superyachts.
Judging by government contracts in the past, I suspect the government is being overcharged by the hotel companies and their intermediaries for those rooms as well. When COVID isolations hotels were in force, they charged £175 per night to stay in a Travelodge in south London. That's far more...

If you just talk about "immigration", you're talking about ALL immigrants, not just the irregular ones. If you're using that as lazy shorthand for irregular migrants, than that's extremely dangerous, because once someone gets tagged as an immigrant, the assumption is that they're here illegally...
And what does the fertility rate figure have to do with that? I gave that figure in response to Paul's question about how we profit from immigration - not "irregular immigration", he just said "immigration".
1353 people are dispersed to various places across the UK, if they apply and are housed...
Nope. You said:
So what's unregulated and unmanaged about that? Unless you are happy that legal migration is already legal and managed, and you don't think there's anything about it that needs to change. Because that's what Reform and others are advocating. They don't separate legal and...
