79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world" That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

Everything about the current 'debate' around this is dismal, not just morally but because it is so stupid. For example: It conflates asylum-seeking and illegal immigration (and sometimes with migration generally) It shows no understanding of why there is AS www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 1/3

Spectacular sights & sounds at the Old Lake in Tata, Hungary. Each November, tens of thousands of wild geese and other migratory birds convene on the lake. The 'Öreg-tó' is recognized as a protected wetland preserve under the Ramsar Convention. 🙏🏼🌍🕊️ 📷 Filmdzsungel Studio©️

Asylum system in UK ‘out of control’ and dividing country, home secretary says So hands up everyone who voted tactically to keep the Tories out only to end up with a Farage tribute act.

Note, the far right guys aren’t going ‘we can vote Labour now they’re speaking our language’, they’re going ‘look, these idiots are smoothing the way for the extremist parties we have very openly said we’ve going to vote for for several years now.’

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in. Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

Shabana Mahmood on the BBC this morning talking about desperate people fleeing war and persecution as being given a "golden ticket" and "handouts" and saying she's got a "moral mission" to take them away from them Indistinguishable from the rhetoric of Reform www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/shabana-ma...

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

It’s absolutely mind-boggling that the US is here, in 2025. That a government lawyer can stand up and say this stuff. www.publicnotice.co/p/ed-martin-...

I’m surprised JD Vance has left this tweet and reply up.

Because of cognitive decline, Joe Biden could not be president.

I eat at this table. I’d rather Billy not sit on it. So we’ve reached a compromise: I’ll eat off a plate on my lap and he’ll sit wherever the fuck he wants. Cats always turn me into the Chuck Schumer of my own apartment.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection. Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

“In the last year of the Conservative Government alone, 115 prisoners were released in error, including a series of serious offenders. “At no point did this fact ever make the front pages of British newspapers, or lead news bulletins on the BBC.”

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have “earnings over £125,140” I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

hell yeah

For me, it is objectively ridiculous that the UK left knows and cares a lot more about Zohran Mamdani than it does about Pedro Sánchez - the left-wing Prime Minister of Europe's fastest growing economy.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

In free and fair elections, Trump loses and the Republicans get smashed. The Americans can still save their country but they will have to be brave. ICE is a private Presidential army that can intimidate, arrest and probably kill with impunity. Trump owns the Supreme Court.

I don’t know but I could have sworn the other week Bob wasn’t happy about brown people everywhere. Make your mind up, Bob…

A year too late. He should have resigned in total and abject shame as soon as his complacency, lies and obfuscations were exposed. His party leader should have demanded it. Instead, he clung on for a year, backed by a weak man with no concept of decency. Both are unfit for public office.

An MP needs to read out this quote in the House of Commons and ask the government why they are still on twitter cc @columeastwood.ie

wild that this gentle peacemaker was snubbed by the nobel

Pentagon officials admit they have no idea who exactly is on those boats they're blowing up, and that that's OK. It looks cool, right? Everyone should be rightfully terrified of the big bad United States, and just stay out of the ocean. www.rawstory.com/pentagon-boa...

Not even bothering to hide it any more

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

A president so stupid that one of the great intellectual achievements of his life is “passing” a dementia screening. A president so narcissistic that he can’t stop bragging about passing that dementia screening as evidence of his immense genius.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat. This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

Nobel peace prize for this man?

I like this take on the Louvre heist! www.thelocal.com/20251021/opi...

It took 213 years but finally someone has done more damage to the White House than the British, at least we were technically at war with the United States at the time.

Obama put his feet up in the oval office, wore a tan suit and wore a helmet while bicycling, they were raging for weeks. Trump tears down part of the white house, shrug.

Great news! Now computers won’t just flirt for you, they will also go on holiday for you. Next we’re hoping to get them to take on the arduous task of listening to the sound of a loved one laughing with joy.

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

No Kings couldn't have gone better - massive turnout, no violence, and it drove Trump so crazy his response was "Kings are good and I poop on everyone." Best of all was the effect on the millions of participants and everyone watching. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/no-kings-p...

I’m always surprised we don’t talk more about AWS as a single point of failure — and hence of vulnerability to censorship pressure.

Anyone else have trouble with logging in to Wordle today? Ruined my morning coffee routine. Finally got in hours later than usual. I reckon it was to do with the Amazon outage. Wordle 1,584 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

Before everyone gets all giddy over Rand Paul correctly opining that blowing up Venezuelan boats willy-nilly is wrong, in the same interview he also said that DJT is likely the best president of his lifetime. 😑 Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now & again.
