You can of course advocate whatever you like. But Ross’s article states they remain committed to international law. The motion contradicts that.

What they tell you in Genoa about St George’s Cross.
The true story of the english's flag
In 1190, king Richard and the Court of London requested and obtained authorization to fly the flag of Republic of Genoa on their ships sailing in the mediterranean and Black seas.
In that periodthe English ships were prey to pirates and bandits, fling the Genoeses flag these episodes passed.
Forthis authorisation they undertook to pay an annual tribute to the Republic of Genoa.
Since that moment England has been represented throughout the worlo by the flag of Sansiorgio, the flag of

Can anyone explain to me why this article doesn't mention anywhere that small boat crossings are down 42% from last year? That doesn't mean it's not an issue 781 people arrived in one day. But it seems like the sort of context a reputable news source might mention www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I want my country back. By that, I mean a country where I would be confident that a thug who livestreamed himself stabbing an RNLI dingy on an active operation would a) Be universally condemned b) Be swiftly arrested, put on trial and if found guilty, face many years in jail. I miss that country.

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

It's wrong because it is based on a huge category error: voted Reform once ≠ Reform voter ≠ die-hard Farage fan I don't underestimate the loyalty of that last group. But it's easy to overestimate its size, inundated with voxpops from conference delegates, by definition the most cultish sample. 2/3

I plead with people not to propagate their "it won't make a difference; his supporters love him" gloom. Actually, Farage is on the ropes and he didn't get there by himself. He's there because people continue to believe resistance does make a difference. It's also wrong on the facts. 1/3

PS I've been doing some research into psychological studies of different voter/political groups and - it's true - progressives are ofter far less happy than rightwingers or the disengaged. But do you know which group comes out as happiest of all, consistently? Progressive organisers and activists.

So, don't share your darkest fears like a mantra. They disempower and deflate others AND you! The nihilism of presenting him as inevitable IS their strategy. I know we can beat Farage, because we ARE beatING him. His numbers are shrinking. Now is the time for shoulders to the wheel - not apathy. 3/3

If we've learned anything lately it's that what Nigel Farage considers to be perfectly fine and legal, is pretty far outside what you & I, parliament, and the law, consider to be perfectly fine and legal.

I am utterly disgusted by these scenes. I hope this woman and the other one receiving similar assaults are managing to recover, received medical help at the venue and are ok. Shame on Farage, Anderson and Jenrick.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.
