A decade ago, a random Australian hack labeled my nephew a terrorist. Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary (presented in numerous legal proceedings up to and including the Supreme Court in two different countries), the lie was allowed to take hold and to spread.

Refugees are people the Government believes would face persecution in their home countries. Yet they plan to increase the time it takes to get settled status from 5 years to 10 years, with many having to wait 20 to 30 years.

The Government's plans to make people wait decades for settlement will do huge damage to our communities.
Every local authority that values a diverse, cohesive community should stand against them.

“By comparing Wales to Barnet, and the role of First Minister to being a council leader in London, he made it clear how Reform UK thinks of our nation. To Reform, Wales is an administrative region of greater England.”
Not only will Reform have a declared policy which will result in killing people but they will also be adding an average £50/year to every motor insurance policy in Wales. Quite a challenge to sell this one once you get into the detail ✍️Gwern Gwynfil wp.me/p8Mk4U-1epY

More than 200 killed in coltan mine collapse in eastern DRC, officials say
Rubaya mine produces about 15% of the world’s coltan, which is processed into tantalum, used in mobile phones
More than 200 people were killed this week in a collapse at the Rubaya coltan mine in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Lumumba Kambere Muyisa, spokesperson for the rebel-appointed governor of the province where the mine is located, told Reuters on Friday.
Rubaya produces about 15% of the world’s coltan, which is processed into tantalum – a heat-resistant metal that is in high demand by makers of mobile phones, computers, aerospace components and gas turbines. The site, where locals dig manually for a few dollars per day, has been under the control of the M23 rebel group since 2024. Continue reading...

Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’
Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’
Video evidence reviewed by Guardian shows Alex Pretti, killed by agents in Minneapolis, held a phone, not a gun
Video recorded by witnesses to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday shows that the 37-year-old registered nurse was holding a phone, not a gun, when he was tackled and shot, directly contradicting the claims of senior Trump administration officials that he threatened to “massacre” officers.
In the aftermath of the killing, which was recorded by multiple witnesses, the Department of Homeland Security released an image of a handgun, which Donald Trump referred to as “the gunman’s gun” in a social media post. Kristi Noem, the DHS secretary, said at a briefing that Pretti had “approached US border patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun”, though she later declined to say whether or not Pretti pulled the gun out.
