So, Jeffrey Archer got into Oxford on the back of made up A level results and a non existent degree from an American university. Interesting to compare the different reaction from media and politicians to that which was handed out to Professor Jason Arday.

🤔 Protester Terrorist
Hundreds of protesters, dressed in black and wearing face coverings, blocked roads in the Port of Dover and chanted "stop the boats" on 6 September 2026. There were no arrests.

Since it came into existence, the word 'Schadenfreude' has been building up to this moment.
Screencap of Homeland Security tweet:

"On August 27, ICE arrested Milo

Yiannopoulos, an illegal alien from the United Kingdom, at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in Kenner, Louisiana. Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York. He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws.

Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.

Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return."
