When people talking about immigration being bad say it’s not about me, I don’t accept it. How dare they tell me not to have solidarity with my fellow immigrants

On 19 June, VERTIC researcher Roel Walravens delivered an address on regulatory frameworks for biosecurity governance in Southeast Asia at the Indonesian Biorisk Association (IBA) International Conference 2026. VERTIC is grateful to the IBA for the invitation and for convening the conference.

My mum was visiting us from Italy; I'd told her I had the alarm for 7AM. She burst into the room at 7AM sharp, when I wasn't even fully conscious yet, going "Good morning! you're illegal aliens now, Brexit won".

Visited the Cathedral in 2017 - we entered during liturgy, and even as an atheist it was majestic and moving. This is heartbreaking. We were touring Kyiv with the colleagues who were hosting us for a workshop, who at the time told us of their time taking part in the Euromaidan protests.

The other thing is, people need to *argue* for this; people need to stand up for these norms and to those who test them at the edges. Especially people in position of power. Instead, we get "respect for legitimate concerns", even when those "concerns" are regurgitated conspiracy theories.

An expert opinion that the scam reported by the BBC wouldn’t work, and so was a scam on applicants not the system, seems like important context

Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.

If only there was a treaty with clear provisions forbidding it and setting out how to verify such an allegation. If only. I'm sure that if anyone had aired this idea before now, both the US and China would have RUSHED to ratify it. Alas, we only thing of good ideas way late.

This is very good indeed on how Mahmood talks about race. To suggest that immigration policy and racism are linked "reflects this government’s biggest failing, which is that it is essentially incapable of saying that racism is wrong, full stop".

Alf Dubs is a 92 year old man who spent his life fighting for refugees, and in particular for refugee children. He fought the Tories tooth and nail during their last three terms, only to see Labour adopt far-right policies on immigration. “But to use children as a weapon ... I’m lost for words.”

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

The breadth of "You have no idea what crazy shit we've tried and shelved decades ago, youngling. Your stupid idea is both stupid and not new. Better people than you have been this stupid." in the nuclear weapons program is quite impressive.

Five Star Movement is *not* left-wing They claimed to be "neither left nor right", and had left-ish language on environment, nimbyism, and some economic issues, but on most areas they would break right in the end. I mean, they formed a govt with Salvini's Lega. Also, consistently pro-Russia.

Meanwhile, the political and normative costs accumulate: erosion of IL, weakening of nonproliferation norms, and the creeping normalisation of preventive force. At some point, we’ll need to ask whether all this performative force is masking a deeper strategic vacuum.
