Pls spread word. Three digits can help protect you from scams: 159. If you're suspicious of a 'call from your bank', politely hang up and dial 159. It connects you to a switchboard that puts you through to your bank's real number. Watch the video for why its extra protection

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Map showing the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.

Screengrab from Politico piece that explains, citing Reuters, that 48,300 of the 50,000 recent crossings have already been expelled or voluntarily returned to Morocco.

BBC report on Friday, still echoing the RW disinformation - or at the very least not challengning it sufficiently.

"Spain's PM blames traffickers after 60,000 migrants reach Ceuta from Morocco

What triggered the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta?
Sofia Ferreira Santos and Sarah Rainsford, Southern and Eastern Europe
correspondent
31 July 2026
Spain's prime minister has blamed trafficking gangs after about 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. At least 57 people died during the surge, according to local media."

Daily Mail and Daily Express from this weekend, with front page headlines "Ministers MUST stop the Spanish border invaders reaching UK" and "SPANISH BORDER CRISIS IS 'WAKE-UP CALL' FOR UK", respectively.

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

An elaborate shitpost - which took me forty-five minutes when I should have been trying to sleep, and which was a fun exercise in gilding the lily - but a shitpost nonetheless

These eyes have seen a thousand wonders shine:
Great miracles, in heaven and on earth,
And though my life be short compared to thine,
A thousand years could not contain its worth.

I watched great ships of war sweep through the night,
New constellations 'gainst a starlit haze,
Where, bested by Orion's ancient might,
They roared their glory in a final blaze;

And softer still, in silent darkness stood,
I saw two worlds, and, passing inbetween,
I witnessed there what no Man ever could -
The light of God in thrall to a machine.

As tears in rain are lost like morning dew,
I give these echoed sights, in death, to you.

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

🧵5 Posts A century on, the 1926 General Strike stands as one of the most dramatic episodes in British working-class history. At one minute to midnight on 3 May 1926, around 1.7 million workers walked out in solidarity with 1.2 million coal miners who were facing wage cuts of 1/5

This powerful image captures strikers during the 1926 General Strike in the United Kingdom, a pivotal nine-day industrial dispute that brought the country to a standstill. The strike remains one of the most significant moments in British labour history. Although the TUC called it off after only nine days without gaining concessions for the miners, it remains a symbol of working-class solidarity and a defining moment for the British labour movement.

Professor Benjamin Zephaniah testifying for all of us here in 🇬🇧 with a multicultural culinary poem about the people of Britain (with notes) "The British"

The British by Benjamin Zephaniah (Serves 60 million)

Take some Picts, Celts and Silures And let them settle, Then overrun them with Roman conquerors.

Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years

Add lots of Norman French to some Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously.

Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans, Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese, Vietnamese and Sudanese.

Then take a blend of Somalians, Sri Lankans, Nigerians And Pakistanis, Combine with some Guyanese

And turn up the heat.

Sprinkle some fresh Indians, Malaysians, Bosnians, Iraqis and Bangladeshis together with some Afghans, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Japanese And Palestinians

Then add to the melting pot.

Leave the ingredients to simmer.

As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourish Binding them together with English.

Allow time to be cool.

Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future, Serve with justice And enjoy.

Note: All the ingredients are equally important.

Treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste.

Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain.

Give justice and equality to all.

On World Poetry Day, here’s a reminder of the power of poetry and its potential to change the world.

The Power of Poetry

with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,

it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,

so he reached for his copy
of The Complete Works of Yeats

and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Martin Wolf is very clear on trad wives:

above replacement. Where I do agree is that the reactionary right's idea that the answer is to put women back into the kitchen and nursery is wicked and stupid.
Only the Taliban thinks it is clever to deprive women of education. Moreover, if even the Chinese Communist Party cannot force women to have children they do not want, nobody can. What is more, only an imbecile would suppose you would get more children by arguing that women treat their husbands as their
masters, yet again. We would get still fewer marriages and fewer children.

As public opinion turns, reports from within Mount Doom suggest Orc Lieutenant Gothmog is to be relieved of command and withdrawn from Gondor back to Minas Morgul where he is expected to soon retire. Sauron hopes this ends the matter and the Fellowship will now go home and stop blowing whistles.
