Floods continue across Sydney and NSW, but no looting seen, just people being supportive 🤔

Just saw someone retweet this (Independent / Evening Standard owner) Lebedev earlier tweet on a Mail article on the Litvinenko poisoning, from 2013. Makes interesting reading.

A 1yr MA (often via loans) entitles 3rd World economic migrants to apply for Skilled/Health visas allowing them to bring their partners/dependents. After 5-6 years they can claim citizenship. They can thereafter apply to bring dependent parents or even siblings to the UK who also become citizens after 6 years. In mixed families, this means even more parents, grandparents and children are entitled to apply to come. It's not clear how plural marriages might work here, but I think we can guess.

Not a directly medical qualification:

This looks like a Trojan Horse move. Refugee activists have long been demanding "safe routes". Opening application centres in Europe for asylum in Britain sets a dangerous precedent. When (if) it closes, expect cries of 'racism', 'discriminatory treatment' and 'putting peoples' lives in danger' forcing people into Channel crossings. What happens if the centre is mobbed by Third World applicants from Calais?

Here they go. The idiocy of this UK government policy outlined: refugee activists say free passage and visa authorisation for the Third World too.

The 1951 Refugee Convention initially focused only on Europe (and was era specific) Then in 1967 they expanded it geographically and removed the temporality. Same tactic here, but shorter timeframe.

Good news for the bottom line of oil resellers and Arab states, not so much for European populations who will be pushed towards penury.

The Green 'Great Reset' comes a step closer.

She's Surrey PCC. Time to set the clock back. How far shall we go? At least until 1948.

Durov makes no mention of why he banned RT's various channels across the world, but in a personal post airs his historical issues with the Russian state and allegiance to his Ukrainian mother...Not the best basis on which to make business decisions.

Weekend project?

There's a big push underway to reframe criminals as victims. They aren't bad, they're trafficked, groomed, or members of protected classes, eg. minorities, women or inner city youth. This above is an example that touches right at the heart of our legislative system: Jackie Doyle-Price MP another example of a non-Conservative elected under a Conservative banner.

Shackleton's ship Endurance has been found, 107-ish years after being crushed by ice which then set them off on their fateful journey. Endure it has, but not in the way they expected.

All very dull - shallow, partial and outdated analysis, but it does provide some insight into the propaganda framing by far-Left activism. They have a 'State of Hate' launch today and the best they could summon was a speech by sacked care worker turned child-MP and ethnic activist, Nadia Whittome.

They can't even spell our President's name correctly and think we only have one VP. But then brainbox Matthew Collins is their Head of Intelligence (sic)/ Research.

Already the undeserved recipient of a title allowing her to collect an income.

On the wheat issue above, there's no post-Brexit end for the farmer gravy train yet and the largest farming interests are campaigning for the right to import cheap foreign workers before they'll accept a reduction in payments for idleness.

We have not been following this issue (centred around a paper via the University of Liverpool), but it's - at the very least - an interesting and serious issue from credible sources. Read the FLCC link first.

Good essay. The Conservative policy of "Retain & Explain" is a charter for left-wing historical judgement. Anyone have a photo of these new R&E plaques?

Police watchdog report says that the police's fast tracking of new hires to fill quotas (and diversity targets) will include criminals and dangerous activists, due to a reduction in proper checks and safeguards. Exactly these tendencies have been found in many police forces abroad.
