In an ideal world, the penalties for dumping should be unlimited.

I think the argument for not calling a by-election is that you are considered to have voted for the candidate, not the party they represent.
I'd like to see figures for this - unless they're an independent, I'd put money on this not being the case.

Wait, I have an encore ... 😁
Same setup, but in the Austrian mountainbike in summer. Instead of a penguin, Trump holds the hand of a kangaroo. Get it? Austria - Australia.

Two days ago, the official White House account (ignoring the fact penguins live in the Southern hemisphere) published this image ↙️.

Someone has since ... how shall I say ... developed it. ↘️
Twitter post by The White House showing Trump and a penguin holding a US flag walking across a snowy plain towards a flag of Greenland. 2 panels. On the left, Twitter post by The White House showing Trump and a penguin holding a US flag walking across a snowy plain towards a flag of Greenland. On the right, the penguin has returned alone, carrying a shovel. It says: "it's done".

Google's AI Overview when searching for "crowborough protestors protest holding numbers"

Why there are wildly differing numbers, though, is anyone's guess.
Thousands of residents in Crowborough, East Sussex, have held regular protests against plans to house up to 500-600 male asylum seekers at a former army training camp . Protest Scale: Recent protests in late January 2026, marking the 12th consecutive weekend of demonstrations, saw crowds estimated in the thousands, with some reports indicating 1,500 to 2,000+ people gathering. Protest Tactics: Demonstrators have gathered outside the Crowborough Training Camp, waving Union Jack, St George's, and Sussex flags while chanting slogans like "Whose streets? Our streets" and calling for the government to stop the plans. "Numbers" Tactic: Organisers for some of the Sunday protests asked participants to wear individual, high-visibility numbers to represent the number of migrants intended for the site. Context: The protests escalated after the first 27 male asylum seekers were moved into the camp in the early hours of January 22, 2026. Incidents: While many protests were described as peaceful, Sussex Police reported that on Saturday, January 24, 2026, three people were arrested on suspicion of public order offences after a vehicle was struck and obstructed outside the site.
