Small boat crossings account for ca 3% of total net migration to the UK. Watch GB NEWS or Talk or listen to Farage and Co and you'd think it was the majority.

I’m not sure how you can be an Argentina fan and have any pride in the national side whatsoever after all that. It’s so shameful and embarrassing to have THAT little self respect.

Well, Argentina didn’t win the World Cup and Messi didn’t win the golden boot. So, the world healed a little more today. 🇪🇸 ¡Enhorabuena, España! 🇪🇸 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The stats beyond the final score: If you are wondering whether Argentina surpassed Spain in any of the underlying statistics, it wasn't in shots on goal, possession, corners, passes, or anything positive. It was in the fouls they committed and the yellow cards ... 1 of 2

Now let's see if Argentina feel like carrying a Falklands banner. Afterall, they're allowed to apparently. The thing is, it's not actually about The Falklands. It's about being the worst possible winners, and tsking the opportunity to rub your opponents faces in it after you won #Argentina

WOW. The Trump admin just barred the FBI from investigating cases where DHS officers get into confrontations with immigrants or citizens. ICE HSI will lead all investigations, yet HSI has no jurisdiction to investigate civil rights violations. The fox is guarding the henhouse.

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade
