The Labour Government STILL plans to surrender the Chagos islands to Mauritius… 🤦🏻♂️

@Grummz The industry has replaced so many 'old straight white males' with diverse young people. And now they don't have the people with tons of experience and deep technical knowledge.
English
It was all fake.
I had friends at Blizzard telling me about how nasty DEI people were digging through emails and slack messages trying to cancel people so they could take their jobs.
Asmongold Updates@Asmon_Updates
Asmongold reveals the Blizzard harassment scandal was proven fake "All the allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse, harassment, and frat boy culture were entirely fake. California admitted there was no evidence substantiating any of the claims. The breast milk theft, the Cosby room, the harassment driving an employee to end her life. All of it was theater over the fact that only one in five Blizzard employees were women." "Blizzard paid 18 million and set up HR practices that discriminate against white men. Internal messages between California officials showed the entire thing was a ploy to send a message to the industry to literally ruin video games." "Do you remember when I said gamers are the most oppressed group in society? It's not women, not gay people, not trans. It's gamers. We're having our spaces colonized, and they're getting mad at us for not liking it."

How do you lose £81 billion‼️‼️‼️⁉️
Keith@keith0582456611
The National Audit Office are refusing to sign off on the Government Labour Party Accounts. A discrepancy of £81 Billion , yes read that again!!! Racheal Reeves as our former Chancellor of the Exchequer has somehow "lost" £81 Billion Where is the outrage from the Legacy Media? That is OUR MONEY which appears to have just evaporated into the Ether facebook.com/reel/174302237…

@harrycabbag3 Maybe Lowe and Farage should just agree to settle this in a boxing ring?...
English
I think Rupert Lowe is evil and I think he should be put in prison.

@x3notrope It's easy for France. There's no left/right divide on the issue, they all want the migrants to reach the UK, just for different reasons.
English
I don't understand why Britain is compelled to rescue people that the French are not compelled to rescue. They're departing from France and traversing French territorial waters across half the distance travelled yet the 'only' recourse is bring them to England. Doesn't make sense
English
@tedwrichards @SBarrettBar The problem is that we can't separate legitimate refugees from the hordes of fighting-age male benefits seekers/asylum abusers. If you're genuinely fleeing conflict, you don't abandon the women/children/elderly.
English
@GrumpyNCynical @SBarrettBar I think if you look at the statistics, most nations in mainland Europe have a far higher ratio of refugees.
English
France does not get to decide whether or not we have a border.
We do.
English
@Danjsalt @technopopulist Doesn't work in practice. If you try to physically obstruct a dinghy, migrants end up in the water, and then we're obliged to rescue them and then they become our problem forever.
English
@technopopulist Stopping boats entering British waters is not an infringement of their sovereignty if it was then they've been infringing in ours for years
English
France is going to unilaterally withdraw from the Le Touquet Agreement if Britain violates its national sovereignty.
What this means is that illegal immigration will move back towards the Channel Tunnel (& ports) and will become far more effective. It will be clandestine, but in higher numbers, and it will involve far less media scrutiny because the optics are less obvious.
We will be destroyed as a country with little public awareness of how this is happening.
The EU will also sanction us and attempt to turn Britain into a leper economy, despite the damage this will cause them as well. They have made these decisions before regarding Russia.
English
@technopopulist We have ways to deal with anyone bringing migrants into the UK via tunnel or ferry. Heavy fines make the haulage companies take it seriously. May mean goods having to take more expensive routes to avoid the French problem areas.
English
@stephenlondoner @andrew_lilico Which doesn't work, as the migrants end up in the water, and we're obliged to rescue them. At which point they're our problem.
English
@andrew_lilico No you sail into British waters and as a boat tries to go past into British waters you stop it - i’m not sure why we over complicate matters.
English
So Reform is planning to sail Royal Navy warships into French waters without French permission? That's their plan?
BBC News (UK)@BBCNews
Reform UK would use Royal Navy to stop small boats bbc.in/4w4aG2G
English
@1kylobeddo @SBarrettBar @JulieHntm0 The only solution is to remove the 'pull factors'. To make life somewhat unpleasant for lone male asylum abusers. Refugee camps in remote areas, not city centre hotels.
English
@1kylobeddo @SBarrettBar @JulieHntm0 The problem is that we're obliged to rescue anyone in distress at sea. And once we've rescued them, we can't get rid. So we can't physically obstruct the boats once they're heading our way - if the migrants jump into the water, we can't just let them drown
English
@KarlTurnerMP @CjecSc @Nigel_Farage There must be international laws against what France is doing, too, aiding a literal invasion by sea of the UK.
English
Problem is Steve, by telling the French that you are intending to send a British naval frigate into French territorial waters is unlawful under international laws. UK warships cannot lawfully carry out enforcement operations inside French territorial waters without France’s consent. Doing so would breach France’s sovereignty under international law. That’s all. I’m sorry to disappoint by pointing out the bleeding obvious.
English
.@Nigel_Farage thinks he can just declare war on France and he expects to be taken seriously by the British people.
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 NEW: The French Government has attacked Reform UK's plan to use the Royal Navy to take small boat migrants back to France "This would be a violation of French sovereignty as well as a violation of maritime law and international law"
English
@peterrhague But that would be racist. Remember that they turned George Floyd, a drug-addled career criminal, into some kind of hero/saint.

Just fire him already. This is not going to get better.

@Journey3519 @BladeoftheS Data centres are insignificant compared to the increased demand for water from the last couple of decades of immigration.

@BladeoftheS Do data centers and man-made droughts have anything to do with it?

14 Nuclear Reactors in 6 countries in Europe are closed because they have run out of water for cooling.
Nuclear Power is no solution, Solar and Wind ARE.
English
@BladeoftheS Without sun or wind (still nights), solar and wind are useless. We need a mix of solutions, and better storage solutions than huge lithium-based battery packs with a tendency to catch fire.

I feel like the Arday scandal might be the start of something larger. A huge amount of academic “research” is just an endless exchange of essays for which we pay people a middle class salary. Much of this was already of dubious value (such as the work Arday plagiarised). With LLMs, it might be clear that it is of zero value. Why should it be funded at all?

@UnkleKnacker @omid9 Trump wouldn't be bombing if the Iranians weren't determined to finish Hitler's work.
English
@omid9 Can't Muslims just stay where they are and allow Trump to continue bombing them into the stone age ?, he promises his imminent 8th declaration of "victory" will be his last one !..
English
This is stated like 60,000 Muslims coming into your town is unbelievably appalling. Could this be the single most Islamaphobic tweet ever posted? ⬇️
LPC@landpalestine
Spanish actor Javier Bardem says The migration of 60,000 people from Morocco to Spain was planned by Israel because Spain opposes the genocide in Palestine
English
@omid9 Yet when a mere few hundred angry men stormed the US Capitol, it was considered one of the darkest days in US history. Even when they all went home before the end of the day.
