This is a heads-up about fake AI accounts which have proliferated across social media.
The screenshot is from a genuine thread asking for advice on a mountain route; there are plenty of useful, real human replies.
The attempted reply (we stopped it) looks very real - but it is from an AI bot.

So the BBC did a news story on the horrible conditions in the hotels were people seeking asylum are forced to live and instead of the media talking about humanity and compassion about improving conditions and letting them work, this was the outcome:
So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.
Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

Literally none of the economic issues we face are due to undocumented immigrants.
Meanwhile, this is verbatim Nazi propaganda being pushed out by the US Dept of Homeland Security.
The Trump regime is a fully fascist regime. They're not attempting to hide it in any capacity. This is who they are.

So, @bylinetimes.bsky.social have done great work investigating Prescott's background & history (he wrote that memo that caused so much trouble for the BBC).
Here's an analysis of the memo itself, in terms of just how valid the "research" was that went into it.

BBC bias? The Prescott memo falls well short of the standards of impartiality it demands
The Prescott memo contained no research questions or objectives, method, sample, time frame or, crucially, analytical framework for examining output.

I want to point out to everyone, in case you didn’t realize, that ICE is still getting paid on time, while 1.4million+ fed workers aren’t
When the Nazi’s consolidated power in the 1930s, one of its core strategies was prioritizing the funding of coercive institutions - the SS, Gestapo, & military

Kebatu went back there four or five times and attempted to hand himself in, knowing he would be deported. The authorities sent him away, telling him he had been released.
