If millions in full-time work earn less than a disabled person’s benefits, the scandal is wages — not benefits. Raise pay. Stop the envy politics.
Bella Wallersteiner 🇺🇦@BellaWallerstei

Outrageous that someone on benefits can receive £25,000 a year - more than what two million people earn on the minimum wage after tax. This isn't just economically unsustainable, it's morally wrong. We should be rewarding work, not dependency

You goaded me by constantly mischaracterising what I’ve said & presuming to know what I think. I don’t want to be blocked. I’m up for debate on those aspects of the case on which I feel competent.
Peter Hitchens@ClarkeMicah

.@clivewismayer. You are plainly not on the fence, as anyone can see, As for your remark 'You are a huckster journalist writing for a low grade rag with newsprint to sell' , I suspect you made it because you really aren't up to serious debate, and wanted to give me an excuse to block you. Sorry.

What a day. We were a bit worried to see yellow rain warning signs flashing on the adjacent motorway, but it didn’t come to anything. Saw Jens Voigt. Took a delightful route into Moffat and had a wonderful lunch. The scenery got really big. Tired but happy.

Online radicalisation update.

As the sun rose over Dunkirk, I called the French police. Ten hours of tracking had established that a group of migrants were hiding in a cemetery just yards from the beach, waiting to cross the Channel. Surely this was the moment for the authorities to sweep the beach or search the streets to find the migrants and their smugglers? You know, to “smash the gang” I had found. “I will pass it on,” came the first response. I pressed - this was urgent. “The police will probably not come,” the 112 handler said, dismissively. No further details sought. No interest shown. I’d come to northern France to see for myself what is really happening as Channel crossings surge and communities back home bear the intolerable consequences of broken borders. Just me and a cameraman - no French minders, no protection. What I saw in the camps, streets, and beaches was sickening. The reality is worse than I have ever seen. The whole racket is a disgrace, and the French are aiding and abetting it. Take the camp near Loon-Plage: half a mile from tidy villages sits a lawless, dangerous space. Someone was shot dead there last month; stabbings are common. It is strewn with litter, ramshackle tents, and menace. Almost all the migrants are young men. They sit on the ground, scrolling their smartphones, waiting. No police. No officials. Those willing to speak were clear: they are coming to the UK for jobs, housing, benefits, and free healthcare. None said they were fleeing persecution - they are already in France. None had a trade or profession to offer. They will be a huge strain on already struggling UK public services. Some were polite; others threatened violence. One man pressed his face close, telling me to leave. Another began hurling glass bottles - one smashing beside me, another flying past my head. Do you want men like this in your community? I don’t. For saying this, I’ve been called a “xenophobe” on the BBC. But I doubt those levelling that smear have been to this camp, seen those men, and imagined them outside their children’s school gates. This is a national security emergency. And the French? We’ve given them £800m and get dismal theatre in return. They could stop this tomorrow. Instead, they stick two fingers up at Britain - and literally bus illegal migrants towards the beaches. That afternoon, I saw 40–50 migrants with lifejackets, marshalled by smugglers, walking along the railway. They headed to a public bus stop by a supermarket and boarded. Imagine that outside your local shop - lifejackets in hand, plain as day. Authorities know exactly what’s happening, yet facilitate it. We followed the bus into Dunkirk. The migrants walked towards the beach, one even in a wheelchair with a lifejacket on her lap. By nightfall, they were camped beside the cemetery. We checked on them through the undergrowth. A few hundred yards away, Dunkirk beach was empty of police or patrols, despite all the “special equipment” UK taxpayers fund. At dawn, they were gone. Their rubbish littered the ground. Binmen arrived to clean the mess up - but not the migrants. I rushed to the beach, convinced a launch was imminent, and called the police again. Still, nobody came. Sitting there, I felt anger at the French farce and shame at our own weakness. State visits, “landmark deals,” and hundreds of millions wasted. The French stop fewer boats than last year. Two thousand migrants have crossed in the last week alone. It’s all in plain sight. We are told this is “too complex” to fix. It isn’t. Change the law. Leave failed treaties. Deport illegal migrants. We are an island nation for goodness sake - we can end this. And end it we must.

Anti-psychs: "Psychiatrists try to tell you what's what in your head after a 15min consultation!" Also Anti-psychs: "Hold my beer. I reckon I can beat that...."

@DamienEvans21 @missy72w It’s very unlikely that someone was depressed for 10 years. If you are still depressed, they are likely not helping you. But I don’t recommend anyone who has ever started them to stop taking them, since there is the risk to get PSSD after stopping them.

Sunderland AFC
Sunderland AFC@SunderlandAFC·
Everyone at Sunderland AFC is deeply saddened by the passing of Donna Weir, one of our dedicated matchday stewards. Donna, aged 62, was much more than a familiar face on match days. She was a compassionate soul who generously opened her home to care for young academy players, providing support and kindness beyond the Stadium of Light. Her positive spirit, unwavering dedication, and can-do attitude made her a cherished and respected member of our Sunderland family. As we prepare to face West Ham United this Saturday in the Premier League, we invite all fans and members of the community to join us in honouring Donna’s remarkable life with a round of applause in the 62nd minute - a fitting tribute to her invaluable contribution to our Club. Our thoughts remain with Donna’s family, friends, and all who were privileged to know her during this difficult time.
