@MartinSellner_ But why would a country in Africa accept migrants ? I mean why would they risk having them in there communities. I know money can help but I am not sure this deportation hubs will work
Many people fail to grasp just how significant outsourcing asylum centers would be. I’ve been advocating for this idea for years.
A core problem is how difficult it is to deport people. Migrants often discard their passports and lie about their country of origin. Even when a legal decision orders their removal, their home countries frequently refuse to accept them back.
On top of that, liberal judges and European human rights rules often block deportations for instance, if a migrant faces the death penalty or torture in their own country after committing serious crimes like rape or drug dealing in Europe, they become effectively "undeportable".
We have long argued that the real solution lies not only in readmission agreements with third countries, but above all in outsourcing asylum centers. Once those African return hubs exist, virtually all these obstacles disappear. Every illegal migrant can simply be transferred there.
If both those already in Europe and every new arrival are immediately sent to a non-European hub, it creates an extremely strong deterrent a powerful “push factor.”
Many will choose to return voluntarily to their countries of origin after spending time there.
This is the key to regaining control over illegal migration.
Serious challenges remain: problematic legal migration and non-assimilated parallel societies. There is no reason to rest, but outsourcing asylum processing is a vital and overdue step.
@Lizabidobay2 My phone came with pixel 'noise cancelling' earbuds. Can't recommend them enough for trains and planes. It's like being in a soundproof bubble. You could be sat next to me blathering on and I can't even hear you.
On a train to Leeds that left Waverley 35 minutes ago and some cunt has talked non stop loudly on their phone since we set off. Honestly, want to take her stupid phone and smash it to smithereens.
@TwinkTheory The potters were an incredibly well established family. Their money came from patents and inventions like skele-gro, Sleekeazy's Hair Potion and Pepper-up.
How did Harry potters parents have all that cash for his trust fund? They died at 21 and the only jobs in the wizarding world are civil servant, barmaid, teacher or shop owner. Or is it just like magic? And if so how are the Weasleys poor like how far does magic go? Are they just bad at magic?
For years people have asked “When will humans return to the Moon” with people guessing some year in the future.
I’m not fully used to the answer being “Next Wednesday”
@FantasyGalaxies It went on too long. The fight should have been over in about two minutes. Obi-wan should have been barely holding it together over the death of the children and Anakin should have been going full-throttle with dark side power.
Our crackdown on visa abuse is now in force.
From today, study visas will be refused for applicants from Sudan, Afghanistan, Cameroon and Myanmar.
We will always offer sanctuary to those genuinely fleeing danger, but we must stop those exploiting our generosity.
@GivnerAriel Lots of kids stay up inadvisably late binge-watching TV shows or reading Harry Potter books. Are the producers and authors to blame for poor parenting?
This is disgusting and I can’t wait for the appeals.
The precedent set by YouTube being liable for screen-time addiction is kind of scary. Treating algorithms like a defective product opens the door to endless lawsuits over “addictive” tech.
What’s next? Books, video games, junk food? What happened to personal responsibility?
@Donna_Rachel_@BillboardChris@Glinner When you're in the judge's court and the judge tells you not to interrupt them, then you don't interrupt them. It's not rocket science.
@BillboardChris@Glinner The judge should probably stop interrupting the lawyer when the lawyer is trying to make their case. I'd get infuriated if someone kept accusing me of being angry and argumentative when all I was trying to do was be heard.
Trans-identified female lawyer berates judge, pulls trans card, gets found in contempt, resists arrest, screams “I can’t breathe,” and yells for people to call 911 as she’s fighting police.
Absolutely glorious performance.
Women should not take testosterone.
@GriftReport They were expensed by the production company. The point they were making is that this sort of thing used to be perfectly affordable, and now it's not
'Why not take your own sandwiches?' Viewers 'irritated' by couple who spend £52 on lunch at Costa on a family day out and then complain about the cost of living crisis
🚨 This is a dark day for Britain.
Reform receives a large, perfectly lawful donation from a British Citizen, and Labour responds by rushing through a new law to prohibit him from making such a donation again.
Rycroft even refers to British citizens as “malign actors” in his report.
This is how fast the machinery of government moves when it wants to protect itself.
When it comes to securing our borders?
Nothing can be done for years at all apparently.
This Starmer regime is authoritarian.
Cancelling elections, choking off legal funding for its main rival, surveilling speech.
Make no mistake, if Reform do not win the next general election, this country is toast.
@mjsimpsonfilms@PeasantBiomass This. There's a moderate level of interest to be had in looking at older physics books, or outdated political theory, but not to the point of devoting useful space to them.
@PeasantBiomass Sounds awful, but most textbooks in most university libraries are old and out of date. Even the few potentially collectable volumes will be in poor condition; no collector wants ex-library copies. Anything genuinely worthwhile will have been kept in a separate archive.
One of the deepest bouts of melancholy I’ve felt was when I as part of a landscape facility crew was randomly assigned to dispose of an entire University Library
In dim lighting, I roamed each isle pushing a large trash bin, using my free arm to send countless books to oblivion
Farmers’ fields have become a dumping ground for fly-tippers … remote, unmonitored, and shielded from prying eyes 👀
But let’s be honest about what’s driving this.
Councils, through short-sighted and heavy-handed waste policies, are pushing people toward illegal disposal. When it’s expensive, inconvenient, or bureaucratic to do the right thing, some will choose the wrong one — and it’s our farmers who pay the price.
Broken systems create bad outcomes.
Until councils take responsibility…..with fair access, sensible charges, and proper enforcement … this will keep happening.
Our countryside is not a landfill. 🌾
And when the Next Gen came out; there was tons of hate because it “wasn’t Star Trek” and the cast probably was in fear from the fans. Again when the series with Bakula came out, it too was panned by the fans because it “wasn’t Star Trek.”
Star Trek is different for everyone. 🤷🏼
@GeoffNorcott It's wonderful that they created a show for the less funny comedians. It's so unfair that they normally just make shows with the funny ones.
One of the things I enjoyed about SNL UK was seeing new faces.
Especially from a generation of comics who haven’t had much of a shot at doing proper telly.
