    You wouldn't know from this picture, but it's bloody freezing out there! These two have clearly been here a while, as evidenced by the tide marks on their listing hulks

  2. Some numpty-heid forgot his big, John Steed umbrella today. Fortunately the possible showers did not come, and I ambled homeward in a happily non-drookit manner. Actually quite nice alongside the Union Canal.

  6. The incredible history of barges used for transport in the mid 1800s. Fascinating to learn about the families who took the journey for 10-15 days with their children. These wooden barges were pulled by mules. Ever get the chance, visit this place in Hawley PA. Part of the D&H Canal.

    L’actu il y a un an, c’était ça :

    “Sainte-Anne, priez pour nous…

    Elle n’est pas Seine d’esprit !”

  10. Tory Party Dep Chair #LeeAnderson tells #asylum seekers 'f*** off to France' if they don't like #barges. These #bigoted Tories shame Britain, they make one hang one's head in shame. We MUST rid ourselves of these disgusting #xenophobes. tinyurl.com/yjxpaa7k #ToryCriminals

  11. From #barges 2 #tents 2 #Rwanda, the obfuscation, the gimmicks pour from #Sunak
    like cheap wine at a Young Conservative's bash, maybe he'll suggest migrants dig 4 green cheese on the moon next. Tories should remember these are human beings, not subjects 4 cruel incompetence. tinyurl.com/2jjc5tc7 #RejoinEU #compassion

  12. Michael Chessum -- Ever Harder Borders

    The European Union deploys ever more resources to #prevent #migrants reaching the continent, and more than 27,000 people have #disappeared in the #Mediterranean since 2014.

    The UK’s post-Brexit border policies amount to a #withdrawal from international #conventions on the #rights of #refugees. Under the latest legislation, people are not permitted to claim asylum unless they arrive by an official route, which is impossible for most refugees.

    Anyone entering the UK ‘illegally’ will be banned for #ever from claiming asylum or applying for citizenship, and so will their #family. The government now plans to ‘house’ asylum seekers in offshore #barges.

  15. I'm certain my father-in-law will heartily approve - 'they're lucky they're being housed anywhere' will be his take.

    Then again, he's in favour of the #death_penalty as "long-term it's far less of a tax burden than feeding people for life & giving them SkyTV".

  16. Suddenly there's some activity from this incompetent extremist Govt. #Barges for #migrants, yes you've heard it before, but it excites extremist #bigots. #Amnesty condemns it, we need to reform the asylum system. Could it be the Tories sense an election? tinyurl.com/35j96t5e
