If you enter this Country without passing through immigration procedures then you have entered the Country illegally.

If, having entered the Country illegally you say the magic words “I wish to claim asylum” then the Country cannot take any action in respect of that illegal entry (ie deportation) until the asylum claim is decided.

Claiming asylum does not make the entry into the Country legal, an offence has still been committed and if asylum is refused, action can then restart to implement the law and deport.

The Windrush “generation” entered this country completely legally, and passed through normal immigration procedures.

This is a national emergency. 🚨 over 1,000 illegal migrants in 4 days..
Hardly any of these men will be refused asylum.
Even if they are turned down almost none will be deported.
It’s incredibly dangerous.

If the cause of the Ethiopian famine had been a right-wing regime, it would probably be in every school curriculum alongside Live Aid.

The famine that produced the most-watched concert in history was caused by forced collectivization, forced grain seizures, and a deliberate policy of using hunger as a weapon against civilians. Four decades later, that half of the story still does not appear in most accounts of Live Aid.

86 of the 532 Crown Court courtrooms across England and Wales are sitting empty today. That’s 16%.

Yet David Lammy claims the only way to tackle the Crown Court backlog is to curb our ancient right to trial by jury — despite there being no credible evidence to support that claim.

FSU research has shown that people charged with speech-related offences are almost twice as likely to be found not guilty in a Crown Court, before a jury, than in a magistrates’ court.

If Lammy gets his way, more people will be banged up for simply exercising their right to free speech.

Open the courts. Save jury trials.

Thank God for the bravery of Tracey Johnson. Without her heroic actions, this story could have ended even more tragically.

Can we all give Zoo Keeper Tracey Johnson who runs Johnson’s Zoo with her family a huge Round of APPLAUSE and love for her incredible act of Bravery👏👏❤️🙏

The thing I find the most frustrating is most of the bbc changes are to accommodate younger viewers who don’t watch the bbc or pay the tv licence, yet those that loved shows like Question of Sport & were loyal viewers have been ignored by the state broadcaster who keeps fixing things that aren’t broken to attract an audience they won’t get!

[Shiri_Sabra @sabra_the]

I appreciate that quite a few American generals are picking up the phone tonight to officers in Israel — and apologizing.

Mr. President of the United States,

Politics is fine.

I don’t get involved in wars between politicians.

But today, in front of the leaders of the G7, when you spoke about the State of Israel and the IDF as if they were some auxiliary force that stood by and changed tires for American army buses, there you crossed a line.

So let’s refresh our memory for a moment.

For 12 days, the State of Israel fought alone against Iran.

I repeat: alone.

Israeli Air Force planes, Air Force pilots, IDF fighters, the Mossad, intelligence and operational systems — operated deep inside Iran, with courage, precision and capability that has almost no parallel in the world.

While you were sitting in the White House and asking what was happening, were they winning and when it was appropriate to enter the picture — our children were in the air, on the ground, in operations, under fire.

These are our children.
These are our fighters.
This is the Israel Defense Forces.

The same army that in the past three years has carried out things that giant countries only dream of carrying out:
In Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, in covert operations, deep strikes, in intelligence, in the air, at sea and on land.

The pager operations.
The precise strikes in the heart of the enemy.
The flights of thousands of kilometers and a safe return.
The ability to strike, disappear, and return home.

And you stand before the world and talk about them as if they were a small appendage in an American campaign?

What terrible things you say about the IDF!

And in your speech we understood something else:
That the stock market and the price of oil are more important to you than the lives of Israeli citizens.

So here is something that may be new to you:

In the leadership in Israel, any leadership that will be in Israel, the lives of Israelis are more important.
And the leadership that will not act for the lives of Israelis — the Israelis will replace it.

Israel is not a single leader.
Israelis are a nation of hundreds of opinions and thousands of thoughts.

But if there is something that unites us Israelis, if there is something that we will never agree to give up — it is that no president, no matter who he is, will come and harm our children, the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.

I do not disparage America.

I do not disparage the American military.

On the contrary — I greatly appreciate the strength, the alliance, and the historic contribution.

I am sure that tonight there are quite a few senior officers in the United States military whose stomachs are turning.

They and the entire world know exactly what the IDF did.

They know exactly who carried the weight.

And so I appreciate that some of them, right now, are picking up the phone to their friends in the IDF and quietly telling them:

Don’t take this to heart.

We know the truth.

We know what you did.

We know who you are.

Because you can argue about politics.
You can argue about leaders.
You can argue about credit.

But there is one thing that must not be done — and that is to diminish the “most effective ally in the world,” as your defense minister says.

The Israel Defense Forces is one of the bravest, most precise, most creative, and most powerful armies in the world.

And whoever tries to diminish it
is mainly diminishing himself.

The people of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces are the Israeli spirit and Israel’s victory will not lie 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

These are not my words.. the person I shared it from doesn’t remember who wrote it! Anyway, maybe you know who… it is excellent!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

And yet the regime is still there, more hardline than ever, about to be the beneficiary of renewed oil exports form today, which can finance the rebuilding of its industrial/military base inc ballistic missiles, and a US-backed $300 billion reconstruction fund which will pay for a lot of new enrichment. All this for a regime which is a world leader in torture and repression — but which America now says it will work with to rebuild. Oh yes, and it still has designs to hold on to the Strait.
If this is a US victory what on earth would defeat look like?

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war— we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

I have no problem with Islam. I am just against beheadings, stoning, marrying little girls, sexual slavery, taqiyya, slave trading, rape, forced conversions, jihad, burqa, attacking other religions, child abuse, women abuse, animal abuse, multiple wives, murder, Sharia, terrorism, brainwashing, intolerance, greed, anti-science, torture, illiteracy, gluttony, genital mutilation, inbreeding. Does this make me Islamophobic?

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

Most of our problems are caused by politicians trying to come up with solutions to earlier problems that they themselves had created. ⬇️

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The US has circulated its version of the Memo of Understanding with Iran to G7 leaders in France. It’s as bad if not worse than expected.
— The moment it’s signed (Friday) sanctions on the export of Iran oil are lifted. So the regime can start replenishing its coffers immediately.
— The US commits to doing nothing to undermine or destabilise the Iranian regime (it started the war to remove it).
— The US specifically commits to ending its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz but Iran does not commit specifically to returning the Strait to toll/fee free transit exactly as before the war, with no Iranian control/regulation whatsoever .
— All sanctions against Iran will be dropped should phase two negotiations go well. And America will withdraw its forces from the region.
— The US ‘undertakes’ to work with Iran and Gulf allies to create a $300 billion reconstruction package for Iran. So America will now become a partner with the tyrants of Tehran, who Trump only recently wanted to overthrow, in rebuilding their economy.
— All matters related to Iran’s nuclear capabilities are kicked into the ‘final agreement’ in 60 days time (or longer if necessary).
— No mention of Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities or its financing of terrorist proxies.
And that’s just about it. When Trump insisted the war would only end with ‘unconditional surrender’ it never crossed my mind he meant his own.
