This is Linton-on-Ouse in England.
Population 1200.

The British state is planning to dump 3,750 migrants into this village and essentially replace them overnight.

Millennia of traditional rural life are about to be wiped out at the altar of open borders.

From Marrakech to Your Living Room. The Plan Was Always This.

A producer of Pickle Storm, a CBBC comedy aimed at children aged around seven, confirmed it in their own words. The charity that met with the production team described its purpose with equal clarity: to "tap into children's media and directly impact framing of migration in children's content." The producer said the intervention "really will inform our writing." The show's second series was edited accordingly. A children's television programme was shaped by a charity whose stated mission is to change how Britain thinks about migration. Nobody asked the parents.

The charity is called Heard. It has received more than £4.5 million in grant funding since 2021. A second charity, Imix, has placed hundreds of sympathetic migration stories across the BBC, the Mirror and the Guardian, and claims more than 11,000 bookings on programmes including Newsnight and Good Morning Britain. A third, Counterpoint Arts, received more than £400,000 from Arts Council England and oversees an initiative seed-funded by George Soros's Open Society Foundations, whose stated aim is to use pop culture to shift the way Britain thinks and feels about migration.

None of these organisations appeared from nowhere. In December 2018 Britain signed the Marrakech Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. The compact's own closing statement called on governments to push back against what it described as distorted narratives, in partnership with civil society groups, business leaders and migrants themselves. Heard, Imix and Counterpoint Arts are the civil society implementation mechanism the compact called for. Britain signed the document. The charities were funded and activated. The Pickle Storm producer confirmed the intervention worked. The sequence runs from a UN conference in Morocco in 2018 to a CBBC production suite in 2025.

The same framework reaches deeper into the state than most people realise. The Teal Book is the British government's definitive operational guide for project delivery across Whitehall, connecting more than 26,000 civil servants who deliver policy at every level of government. Published under this government in April 2025, it is on the government's own website. Its chapter on equality, diversity and inclusion states explicitly that British EDI policy is governed by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, citing the UN's own Agenda 2030 document as a listed reference. Every major government project, from housing to healthcare to border policy, is being delivered within a framework explicitly tied to a UN commitment signed in 2015 without a referendum or a manifesto commitment.

The destination of that framework is now visible. Shabana Mahmood's Community Sponsorship Scheme asks British families, community groups, employers and universities to sponsor refugees directly, committing to their financial, emotional and settlement needs for the first year. The nationalities prioritised are Sudanese and Eritrean nationals, chosen because they represent the largest groups currently crossing the Channel illegally. The UNHCR, not the British government, determines who benefits. Mahmood described community sponsorship as the new norm for refugees entering Britain.

The preparation came first. The next generation is being conditioned through children's television, soap operas and national newspapers to regard migration as normal and those who question it as the problem. The institutional framework was embedded second, in the operational guidance of 26,000 civil servants, referenced explicitly to a UN commitment. The community delivery mechanism arrives third, asking British families to provide the physical infrastructure. Each stage presented as unconnected. Each stage documented. Each stage already underway.

"The sequence runs from a UN conference in Morocco in 2018 to a CBBC production suite in 2025."

@AllisonPearson He doesn’t. It just supports his base long enough for the damage to be irreversible.

I’ve had a think about the government’s policy of flooding Britain with third world rapists and murderers and giving them free houses and enough money to never work again in their lives and I have come to the conclusion that it’s a fucking terrible policy.

“Trusted universities will be able to directly sponsor refugees through a new refugee study route.”

Let me guess? UCL, SOAS and “Universities of Sanctuary”.

Many of our universities are getting funding from the likes of George Soros.

We do NOT consent.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

My generation has failed millions of young British men and women who now feel unable to raise a family in our country, in our home.

Inflation. Housing. Immigration. Energy. Crime. Jobs.

The last 30 years has been a catastrophic failure.

It’s very easy for people of my age to sit in mortgage-free homes bought for a fraction of what it’s proportionately worth today and blame young Brits for the hole they find themselves in.

I’m not going to do that.

Yes, there are people taking the piss. They were when I was younger.

The vast majority of young men and women in our country want to work hard, find their way in life and build a family.

It is NOT their fault that inflation continues to soar, wages lag, the housing market is stacked against them, brutal energy costs drive up everything, their town centres are filthy with no opportunities, hard work is taxed to oblivion, millions of third world migrants are prioritised ahead of them.

We force them through university for no good reason, then saddle them with outrageous interest which is essentially just another tax.

That is not their fault. That is our fault.

My generation should start taking some responsibility for the mess we have left.

And we should start being honest about the pain required to fix it. Because we have had it easy, and our children and grandchildren will be the ones who have to pay for it - our eye-watering national debt is a shame on my generation. It is a genuine disgrace.

A false reality, all propped up by borrowed and printed money. It’s a con.

I feel guilty about it. I am trying to do something about it. It’s what Restore Britain is all about.

To leave a better country than the one handed to us.

A country where young men and women feel able to raise their family. That’s the aim.

A Britain restored.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Wait, huh? A taxpayer funded institution thinks it’s above the law?

If I ignore the law, I can be arrested.

If a publicly funded institution does, it calls it “guidance”, “policy” or “waiting for clarification”.

One rule for ordinary people and another for instruments of the state….. pay attention, this is important 💣

@SamaHoole That’s a hard one to take. I’m not arguing. But once a week with steak and I’ll have to deal with it.

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

@ukhomeoffice Let us examine each of those assurances against what is actually documented.

"Safe and legal routes." The nationalities you are prioritising under the community sponsorship scheme are Sudanese and Eritrean nationals, chosen specifically, in your own words, because they currently represent some of the largest groups crossing the Channel illegally. The scheme does not create a route for people who would not otherwise come. It creates a legal pipeline for people already coming, running alongside the illegal one, while the removal rate for those arriving illegally remains four percent. Safe and legal is the rebranding. The destination is the same.

"Numbers will start small and be controlled." You have signed accommodation contracts running until 2039. You opened twelve new asylum centres this week without informing the MPs in whose constituencies they sit. Speaker Lindsay Hoyle called it totally unacceptable from the chair. Canada's community sponsorship scheme, cited by your own Home Secretary as the model, has resettled more than 390,000 refugees since 1979, including more than 30,000 in 2024 alone. Small is a description of the announcement. It is not a description of the trajectory.

"Strict screening." Britain has no biometric registry for Sudan or Eritrea. In January 2026 al-Hol camp in northeast Syria, holding around 9,000 male ISIS suspects from 60 countries, collapsed. A hundred and twenty ISIS members escaped from Shaddadi prison. Syria confirmed a mass escape of ISIS-linked individuals. Their whereabouts are unknown. A British family sponsoring a refugee from Sudan or Eritrea cannot verify identity, criminal history or conflict zone involvement for someone from a country with no functioning civil record. The UNHCR referral process does not fill that gap. It never has. Calling that strict screening is not reassurance. It is the absence of an answer dressed as one.

Your statement does not address the 2001 UN Replacement Migration report that established mass immigration as the primary policy tool for managing demographic decline. It does not address the 2015 Agenda 2030 commitment or the 2018 Marrakech compact that normalised it. It does not address the Teal Book that ties British institutional policy explicitly to those commitments. It does not explain why the nationalities prioritised are the same nationalities currently crossing illegally at record rates.

Small numbers, controlled, strictly screened. That is what you said about the asylum hotel system before it produced 339 charges in six months across half the hotels in operation. Britain already knows what Home Office assurances look like in practice.

[Speedicut @11frost11]

Last line resonates.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Britain is more than 100% self-sufficient in lamb. We grow more than we eat and export the surplus.

Sit with that, because it is rare. Roughly 85% self-sufficient in beef. Effectively 100% in milk. Around 90% in eggs. The animal food on a British plate was almost certainly born and raised here, a great deal of it on upland pasture that can grow nothing else: no wheat, no veg, just grass and the animals that turn it into food. Field to plate, the journey runs to tens of miles.

Now look at the half of the trolley you were told was the virtuous one. January strawberries from Egypt. Peppers from Spain and Morocco. Winter leaves from Israel. Green beans from Kenya. Blueberries from Peru. The beans and the berries come by air, which is roughly fifty times more carbon-heavy per kilo than the same load sent by sea, to sit in a plastic shell beside a little flag and the word "fresh."

Britain feeds itself in meat, milk and eggs off its own ground. It is the salad and the soft fruit that have to be flown in from the far side of the world.

Worth remembering which half of that plate you were taught to apologise for.

Burnham Promised Change. His National Security Adviser Has China Connections And An Unconfirmed Vetting Status.

Andy Burnham has not yet entered Downing Street. He has already made his most important national security decision. He has chosen to keep Jonathan Powell.

Powell was planning to leave in the autumn and return to Inter Mediate, the private consultancy he founded in 2011. An ally told the Observer that a sense of duty convinced him to stay. That formulation deserves scrutiny. Duty to whom. And to what.

Powell is the first political appointee ever to hold the National Security Adviser role. Parliament's joint committee on national security strategy was blocked from questioning him, unlike any previous holder of the post. Every parliamentary question about his vetting arrangements has been blocked using language identical to that deployed to obstruct questions about Mandelson. He conducted two secret visits to Beijing in six months. He maintains relationships through Inter Mediate with officials linked to China's intelligence apparatus, including the former head of PLA intelligence and the Secretary General of the CPAFFC, described by the US Congress as the public face of China's United Front Work Department. His vetting arrangements have never been publicly confirmed. None of that has changed. All of it will now continue under Burnham.

The Chagos deal Powell negotiated would have handed Beijing strategic proximity to Diego Garcia, the joint UK-US military base in the Indian Ocean, at a cost of up to £35 billion to the British taxpayer. It was postponed only after Donald Trump raised concerns about the security implications. Powell began working on it before his NSA appointment, in a personal capacity, through Inter Mediate. The constitutional lines between his private consultancy work and his government role have never been clearly drawn. Parliament was blocked from asking him about it.

Burnham says he wants to focus on domestic issues and spend less time abroad than Starmer. The man he has chosen to manage Britain's relationships with a dangerous world is the man whose undisclosed China connections triggered the most serious national security questions of the Starmer era. The man who ran a secret backchannel to a proscribed terrorist organisation. The man whose departure would have returned him to a private consultancy with documented PLA-connected relationships.

The fresh start narrative has a familiar cast. Powell stays as National Security Adviser, his China connections undisclosed and his vetting status unconfirmed. James Purnell arrives as chief of staff, a man who left Parliament in 2010, spent years in senior positions at the BBC and then worked at Flint, one of London's most influential corporate lobbying and political strategy firms, before joining Burnham's inner circle. Burnham himself entered Parliament under Blair in 2001. The fresh start is three New Labour figures, a corporate lobbyist and a set of unanswered national security questions.

This sits alongside a pattern documented across multiple pieces. Public money lent without adequate due diligence to a developer whose luxury towers were marketed to Chinese investors in Hong Kong. A bilingual confidential letter praising China's Covid response sent to the Mayor of Tianjin. A formal twinning relationship with Tianjin providing institutional cover for Chinese financial engagement. A Court of Appeal hearing on £140 million of those loans with judgment reserved. A wife on the board of a company holding a public contract with the transport authority her husband chaired. And now a National Security Adviser retained despite documented China connections that have never been subjected to the transparency the Mandelson affair demanded of everyone else.

Burnham enters Downing Street in three weeks. Powell goes with him. The questions that were never answered under Starmer deserve answers before the door of Number Ten closes behind them.

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

Chris, the question of when is answered by looking at what has already happened elsewhere.

In January 2026 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez approved a decree regularising approximately 500,000 undocumented immigrants living in Spain. No parliamentary vote. A decree. Spain signed the Marrakech compact in December 2018 after Sánchez travelled personally to Morocco to do so. The same compact Britain signed. The same framework the Teal Book embeds in British institutional policy. Spain is not an outlier. It is a preview.

The British version will not be called an amnesty. The language will be managed carefully. It will arrive as a regularisation scheme, a humanitarian pathway, a legacy case resolution programme. The framing will emphasise fairness, integration and the impracticality of removing people who have been here for years. The Thames Water sewage methodology already documents over a million people living here without legal status. The removal rate is four percent. The accommodation contracts run until 2039. The infrastructure for permanent settlement is already in place.

The question is not whether it will happen. The question is what trigger event or political moment provides the cover for announcing it. A large enough electoral shock. A legal challenge that makes mass removal appear impossible. A humanitarian crisis that makes regularisation appear compassionate. Sánchez used a decree. Mahmood has already demonstrated she is comfortable bypassing MPs, as twelve new asylum centres proved this week.

The amnesty will not be broached. It will simply arrive, dressed as something else, at a moment of the government's choosing.
