Politicians are terrified of an electorate they think is far more authoritarian and angry and right wing than it actually is, because they are out of touch because the literal media - the thing that mediates between public and polity - is corrupted

We have 101 survivors on board, but the Italian authorities demand we sail 4 days to La Spezia. So we called on an Italian juvenile court to allow us into a closer port. Now minors & relatives will disembark in Pantelleria, Sicily.
We demand everyone to be able to go ashore!

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...

Greetings from Kyiv
and warcoffee.
Today, we honor the victims of the massive famine of 1932–1933.
Man-made, stalin-made, russia-made.
Millions of Ukrainians died.
Don’t ever ask us why we stand. You already know the answer.

I would like a list of those silent bystander so-called reporters
Everyone was shocked when no one stood up for the reporter he called Piggy.
On behalf of all the little girls who were called this and no one stepped up for them either, I see you.

I don’t know what to say anymore other than to remind those in power that refugees are human beings with equal rights who, along with their children, deserve a safe, stable & integrated life in their communities and that what they’re breaking now with this performative cruelty can’t be fixed later.
The Labour government does not want to rule out deporting somebody once here as a refugee 16-19 years with a British-born 15 year old child

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Once again, Aurora stood up against Fortress Europe. Yesterday evening, our crew rescued 42 people in distress – including five children. All are now safely ashore in Lampedusa. Their courage and resilience inspire us to keep fighting for a more humane Europe.

In Greece, more than 300 people from Sudan – mostly aged 15 to 21 – are imprisoned. Some have already been sentenced; others are in pre-trial detention.
They face decades or life in prison.
Their “crime”? Steering a boat or taking on other tasks during their own flight.

We’ve been warned
about a possible missile attack tonight.
I checked that everything is charged
and have some food ready for breakfast.
No.
I’m not scared.
You can’t stay scared for 1,344 days.

Labour's changes to family reunification routes are pure, unmitigated, cruelty.
They will trap people in unsafe countries, deny people the ability to be with spouses and children, and increase the use of irregular routes. An abhorrent policy by any reasonable measure.
