Pretending that the Navy taking back migrants would be a humanitarian mission and therefore legal, is a bit like pretending that a £5 million bribe is nothing to do with politics and therefore doesn't need to be declared.

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
£324,233 the average amount Councils have to pay for every one of the more than 50,000 children in private care. £80,000 the amount of profit they take per child which is never spent on anything. This con is one of the reasons Council have no money.

Weirdly, despite repeated requests, I haven't had any invitations to Reform press events since I asked a month ago whether Farage was scared of questions about his finances.
Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social · 2d agoNigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

The truth about the BBC's bid for the Commonwealth games. a "derisory" bid because it would have been a showcase for Scotland. They could not have that.

Spain clearly controls entry into the Schengen area from Africa. Almost everyone who entered Ceuta has returned. They would not have been eligible for regularisation anyway. Take your profound ignorance elsewhere.
Piñín♾️ ... que de Piñón "ye" sobrín@the-real-nacho.bsky.social · 3d agoSpain could control entry to the Schengen area from Africa but it doesn't. The ailing government in Madrid has just granted EU residency to 600,000+ undocumented migrants. This pull factor together with Spain's incompetent border control strategies have led to a very dangerous situation in #Ceuta.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”
Happy Lammas It is the half way point between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox and is a time of abundance and generosity. May we all find abundance and may we all be generous in our interactions with others.
Let's think about this sudden "50 000 migrants invading Spain/Europe" event. Why now? Who benefits? What is happening and how it is being used? Good points made here.
