“Deploying the military won’t stop illegal migration”
It might if you were to allow the ‘military’ to do what it’s supposed to, and repel boarders, rather than turn it into some kind of paramilitary taxi wing of the social service
I’d read about the case, but had not seen a picture of Ms Hayes… she looks, umm, stable?
The uncomfortable truth though is that the decision not to take it further was the correct one, and that decision should have been applied equally to the Connolly case.
But, where does that leave us, in terms of ‘two tier’ policing? I’d suggest that until Connolly’s sentence is overturned and she receives a pardon, we are still very much in a place where you are prosecuted for your politics and not your point.
Spot on 👍
She looks like a silly kid who runs her mouth off presumably because she has the answers to all the worlds problems, and her 15 year old friends agree.
The scary part is that she apparently has a reach of ‘influencing’ more than a million young minds who, presumably, aspire to be like her, if they’re looking to her to influence their lives in any way..
i’d probably look like a less stable male version of Mrs Hayes had a police officer turned up about some tweet I’d made but couldn’t be disclosed. Fortunately I don’t do tweets.
Funny you should say that….Bit hard to hear what they’re saying or what the outcome is here. The policewoman on the left looks about 16yrs old. Perhaps she’s got the same condition as Greta Thunberg;
”In the UK it is now apparently illegal to *view* social media posts.
Two female members of @WMPolice
visited a family home to seize the device of a teenager and have her arrested for the “crime” of viewing a social media post.
The UK is lost entirely!”

“More than 200,000 young men signed off work for life”
interesting, if appalling… and that’s just the men. I wonder how many have degrees that have proven an expensive and useless mistake?
200,000 men who won’t find fulfilment through work and responsibility. 200,000 men who won’t get married and have kids, and provide the next generation. Chucked on the scrap heap of life at 21 for ‘anxiety’ or ‘ADHD’. I could weep…

‘Stubb conceded that there did not currently appear much chance of bringing Putin to the table. “This war is too big for him to lose. He has made probably the biggest strategic mistake in recent history, certainly since the end of the cold war, and he has failed in all of his strategic aims. It’s a question when he comes to the negotiating table
Security guarantees in essence are a deterrent. That deterrent has to be plausible and in order for it to be plausible it has to be strong,”
He said the guarantees would only come into effect after a future deal between Ukraine and Russia, but insisted that Russia would have no veto over their format.
“Russia has absolutely no say in the sovereign decisions of an independent nation state … So for me it’s not an issue will Russia agree or not.’
Who is Stubb to speak on behalf of Ukraine? It is up to Russia whether to grind Ukraine down to the last Ukrainian or for Ukraine to sue for peace. Russia does not accept that Zelensky can make any binding agreement with them before he regains legitimacy through an election. The West might disagree, but they are not in a position to force Russia to finalise any deal. The latest information shows that Ukraine has suffered 660,000 fatalities (based on published obituaries) and has 400,000 missing in action (according to the Red Cross). They are juggling with what front-line troops they have left to slow Russian breakthroughs, and every time a locality is reinforced Russia pushes somewhere else to exploit any local weakness. Quite frankly this signifies that the end approaching for Ukraine and no amount of tub-thumping rhetoric will stop it. If Europe wants to protect itself from the (mythical in my opinion) threat of further Russian spread, it would cut its losses in Ukraine, review what war would look like in continental Europe today, refill its arsenals with appropriate modern weapons, build up its armed forces and sack all the generals who still think in terms of open… Read more »

“My Albanian village is empty… 60% have gone to UK – even gangsters have left… they only return to launder British cash” – The Sun reports from Albania, where one local says six out of his 12 family members now live in Britain after making their way illegally.” Thanks to Will Jones & the DS for including this eye-opening article from the Sun. It’s so sad looking at the photos of that beautiful, fertile agricultural land being depopulated and destroyed by the Communist Globalists in successive UK governments, who continue to lure people away from beautiful countries like Albania by handing them FREE STUFF, and rewarding them with UK citizenship even after they’ve broken into the country as criminal illegals. Of course it isn’t true that there are “no jobs for them in Albania”, because that beautiful land is crying out for farmers and workers, but none that pay so well as criminal activities and welfare benefits in Britain. It’s the same in Nepal, where successive governments have complained about the British Army needlessly and pointlessly recruiting Nepalese men as Gurkhas, and then allowing them to import their entire extended families into the UK, whether proven relatives or not, thereby depriving Nepal… Read more »
“Deploying the military won’t stop illegal migration” May I add this surprising new way to stop LEGAL migration? Trump’s New $100,000 Visa Fee Could Be Devastating For India’s Economy “Many Americans are simply not aware of how much of the global economy survives by siphoning cash and jobs from the US through immigration (legal and illegal). If they knew, they would probably have demanded that the door on H-1B visas be slammed shut much sooner. “ One commenter described what an Indian IT colleague told him: “A guy is walking barefoot down a dirt road in India. Mercedes rolls up and a well dressed Indian with the requisite sunglasses jumps out of the Benz and asks how he would like a job in New York City. Guy gets in the car, taken to his parents shack where they sign over what little they have as collateral for his “tuition.” He attends “college” – 2 weeks for a “bachelors”, 3 weeks for a “masters” where he is taught Java antiquated programming and convinced that 1. he is a genius, 2. Americans are stupid and 3. to uphold his family honor he must go to the US and become the boss of stupid Americans.… Read more »
Other commenters said: — “Not trying to argue but in my 25 year (and counting) career as a software engineer, I have met 3 Indians who had a clue as to how to code. The rest are aggressively untalented and just plain pagan evil – no morals, no convictions other than they should be boss. The “smart people” in India are turning their fellow Indians into indentured servants by selling them a bogus education, flying them to Newark, housing them 17 to a bedroom, creating cookie-cutter resumes and shipping them around the US to be hired by other equally corrupt Indians.” — “I have taken several jobs re-writing garbage code. The interviewing manager always says ‘It’s great code, it just doesn’t work – we need someone to tweak it.’ I reply with ‘First – great code works and does not need to be tweaked. Second, you have 50,000 lines of non-functional code. That can’t be tweaked. I can rewrite it. Third, I can shovel out your barn, but first you have to get the horses out of it. Otherwise, I will start knee-deep in horse manure and wind up waist-deep.’ It is hard to overstate the level of damage done… Read more »
I get the point here, I suppose, but… shipping in loads of people who can’t do the job, doesn’t seem to be a good business plan for even short term success. How does it actually work?
