A DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY

@WhackPie @megthecollie13 @TheBritLad It’s the same everywhere don’t worry about that.

@DANSON_OUT @megthecollie13 @TheBritLad We don’t have a problem with children in Kent but we are full and the rest of the country needs to take its share

🚨BREAKING: Kent county Council is set to become the first UK county to declare an ‘illegal immigration emergency’ and refuse all illegals. The measure is expected to take effect on 19 March. Other councils are now widely expected to follow.

@Kaffeeschluerfi @megthecollie13 @TheBritLad Yep that’s true.

@megthecollie13 @TheBritLad Unless I am reading it wrong, that is for children only (which no sane person has a problem with)

That claim is partially true but contains some significant exaggerations regarding what the council can actually do. ​Here is the breakdown of what is happening in Kent as of March 2026: ​What is Actually Happening? ​There is indeed a meeting of the Kent County Council (KCC) scheduled for 19 March 2026. On the agenda is a specific motion submitted by the Reform UK political group to officially declare an "Illegal Migration Emergency" in Kent. ​The motion aims to: ​Formally recognize that Kent is at "breaking point" due to the costs of housing and caring for arrivals. ​Pressure the central government for more funding and faster asylum processing. ​Highlight that Kent taxpayers are footing a disproportionate bill for national border issues. ​What is Misleading? ​While the "emergency declaration" is a real proposal being debated, the claim that they will "refuse all illegals" is legally inaccurate: ​Legal Obligations: Under the Children Act 1989, Kent County Council has a strict statutory duty to care for unaccompanied minors who arrive in the county. They cannot legally "refuse" them without facing immediate High Court action (which has happened in the past when they tried to cap numbers). ​Limited Powers: Local councils do not have the legal authority to control national borders or refuse entry to individuals. Only the Home Office has the power to manage immigration and deportations. ​Symbolic vs. Functional: If the motion passes, it acts more as a political statement and a "cry for help" to the government rather than a functional change in border law. ​The Context ​Kent has been in a long-running legal battle with the Home Office over the National Transfer Scheme, which is supposed to move asylum-seeking children to other parts of the UK so Kent isn't overwhelmed. The council often issues "Section 11 notices" to say they can no longer safely accept more children, but they are still legally tied to national welfare laws. ​In short: The council is likely to debate (and potentially pass) an "emergency" declaration on March 19th, but they do not have the legal power to physically stop or refuse people at the border. ​Would you like me to find the specific wording of the motion they are voting on?

@Stephen221269SF I would be more surprised if you did tbh.

@DANSON_OUT Personally i don’t think there’s anything in it , load of tosh

So Wigan Athletic have touted around for sale now that Mike Danson got his hands on the only thing he was interested in, The stadium. The sooner he is out of the club the better, maybe, just maybe people will stop sniping at each other and see the real enemy here. #wafc

@upthetics25 Ooooft!

Talal 🤞🏻#wafc

@realitycheck189 @CaliJ98 Ryan If you would like to give your side of the story on your time at Wigan our DM’s are open. Thank You.

@CaliJ98 out of job and back in one within 4 days right mate tough world aint it. Great move for him and development still a young coach. definitely could of got offers elsewhere if he wanted to wait around…

Arsenal away dugout to Radcliffe Boro dugout 4 days apart, tough world.

The doom and gloom is slowly lifting, the tree is growing leaves again. #wafc

@LegacySiu Aston Villa Lincoln city Bradford city Birmingham city

Name a football club without letter "E" You can’t

✅

@MikePollitt12 Any chance you can teach the current ownership/Board what were really about Mike?

All the best lads 💪🏻

Get Caldwell in and do what we do best. #wafc

Compensation has been agreed with Exeter. #wafc

This directly contradicts what I said earlier but it now sounds as though Gary Caldwell will be announced in the next 48 hours. #wafc

@gemchris1977 I would have to question anyone’s sanity coming to us at the moment, especially someone at a club higher than us at the moment.

@DANSON_OUT CH is not going to Wigan why would he leave a club which is in his heart and higher up to join you

Surprise applications for the job have thrown everything up in the air. Time to review them needed. Conor Hourihane is believed to be one of the new applicants. At this point you will hear a lot of names, pinch of salt time. #wafc

@EthanGTBFC I’d be inclined to agree…

@DANSON_OUT You lot are on something if you actually think Hourihane is a genuine candidate

@SamBarnett1996 It happens, he was solid when he came here and it seems he did well under Caldwell at Exeter… Don’t forget how bad Dan Burn was when he came here.

@DANSON_OUT Some serious length of bad form he’s in then

Just realised Aimson was a regular under Caldwell at Exeter, he’s gonna give him a new deal ain’t he #wafc

@WAFCtabs @upthewafc Its shithouse behaviour. They will wait until the new man is in so they can put a positive spin on things completely ignoring the fact that they are the ones we want to ask questions of, the new manager is going to wonder where the fuck he’s come to if he has to listen to this.

@upthewafc It’s the flaky behaviour we’ve come to expect from them. It’s the lying (Rioch) the false promises (Danson) the keep changing of things (Sarah, bulletins and now fans forum). It’s just a concerning pattern of pure inexperience and people out of their depth.

People genuinely moaning that the fans forum has been cancelled? Wiganers will moan about anything. #wafc
