Refugees are human beings. They have mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters. They laugh and cry just like you. They have hopes and dreams and a desire not to live in fear. They have not collapsed your NHS, built no homes or filled your rivers with sewage. You are being conned.

It is by sheer luck that Russian reckless sabotage has not resulted in a major, uningorable, mass fatal incident in Western Europe.
Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.
