🧵Shocking reality of the Brexit inland border checks at Sevington, 22 miles from Dover.

The experience and facilities seem designed to be as intimidating, dehumanising and unpleasant as possible.

Farmer Henry Ward, "I literally can't believe it. I stood on the bridge with the Chairman of the Environment Agency, the Minister for Flooding, NFU president, looking at 2,000 acres of land with 2 meters of water on it. It didn't even cross my mind that I wouldn't be eligible for this money"

Only the Conservative party could have a policy, a plan, that denies farmers whose fields are flooded, from flooding compensation 🤷‍♂️

If you're a farmer, stop voting Conservative. They lied over Brexit, the trade deals with Australia/NZ are harm your business, and when you're flooded, you're excluded from compensation

@sorenpind Nu har jeg bogstaveligt talt i timevis lyttet til dækning af begivenheden i dansk radio - det må da ellers gælde for en solid omlægning af sendefladen?

@svendaage101 @PetarSocevic Nej, det er netop ikke korrekt i Danmark. Man kan fx ikke hedde “Ærteblomst” eller “Gorilla” til fornavn, hvis man er født og får sit fornavn i Danmark. Men Danmark forlanger ikke, at man ændrer et navn, man har fået i et andet land, og man har lov til at foreslå nye danske navne

@PetarSocevic Du kan hedde lige nøjagtig det du lyst til!

@campbellclaret Parliament creates the laws, the courts interpret and apply them. A reckless PM declares himself in disagreement with the court’s decision. Miserable lack of leadership

[The Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) @JEFnations]

#OTD: The signing of the Comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding on 28 June 2018, marked the completion of the process to establish the #JEF, with strategic military relationships firmly recognised.

Iceland became the 10th nation to join the JEF in 2021.
