Farage: "All over the world, you apply for a work visa - that visa is for you. Not to bring your family... That is how a normal work visa works."

Entirely untrue.

Most work visas allow dependents, including in countries that the UK competes with for labour - US, Canada, Australia and 27 EU states.

There are still many separated families. In some cases records appear to be deliberately ‘lost’ making tracing people difficult. The lack of apology really sticks in people’s throats

Customer feedback this week;

‘Please can you get some more diversity at the National Trust by encouraging more hot men to visit.’

The ITVX #LongLostFamily special on #MotherAndBabyHome scandal is extremely moving. State sanctioned & funded movement of babies from often #WorkingClass mothers to #MiddleClass families.

I’m having National Rebirth Party pushed into my feed on social media, I’ve just read their “20 demands” their position on Trade Unions is not dissimilar to that of the National Socialist German Workers' Party which created the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, to replace existing trade union representation.

Book 39 of 2025 #ALittleGayHistoryOfWales, by #DarylLeeworthy. This was interesting brief introduction into gay history of Wales. A stark reminder of the impact of Section 28, and the significant move to homophobia during the early years of HIV & AIDS. #BookSky #QueerBookSky

Book 37 of 2025 #TheDarkSideOfTheMind by #KerryDaynes. This was an interesting read but there was a little section where the #Rosenhan experiment is treated as if it gospel when in fact there is plenty of evidence of research fraud. #BookSky #ForensicPsychology #Criminology
