We all know there are countless academics still in post — OK maybe they had to take a sideways promotion — who have sexually harassed colleagues and students and well you’d never know it from the press… because only some transgressions matter by some people.

SPD warnt vor Flüchtlingen aus Iran

Die SPD im Bundestag hat angesichts der Eskalation im Nahen Osten vor Flüchtlingen aus Iran gewarnt. "Jeder Nahost-Krieg in der Geschichte hat große Fluchtbewegungen mit sich gebracht, Irak, Syrien, Libyen", sagte der außenpolitischer Sprecher der SPD, Adis Ahmetovic, dem Magazin Stern. "Wir versuchen gerade, Migration nach Europa neu zu ordnen. Das wird jetzt schwerer."

Es könne "Millionen von Menschen" geben, die nach Europa fliehen, sagte Ahmetovic. "Sind wir bereit für einen neuen 'Wir schaffen das'-Moment? Ich glaube nicht",

This was long in the making. The new deportation rules will profoundly alter the CEAS & further undermine the right to asylum, reify a logic that treats humans as cargo,& bring about a new era of migration diplomacy, where non-EU countries cannot reject deportations of their citizens any longer.
