  1. NEW: Trump says Britain is the "prime suspect" for Europe migration crisis. The evidence says otherwise.

    And Trump? He spoke at Davos twice. His family attends WEF. His Iran war is creating hundreds of thousands of new refugees as we speak.

    The "prime suspect" isn Britain.

  4. Migrants piloting small boats across the Channel are increasingly being prosecuted.

    Are they simply asylum seekers or accomplices of smugglers?

  8. The reason it's mostly men on those boats is the Women and Children will have been raped and sold off to people traffickers long before they get to this shit stained island of failure.

    People traffickers like the fascist organising the fash march this month. I would have thought that relevant news but the only place I can find that story is on Hope Not Hate.

  9. This should be headline news, but it's buried. And we all know why. They want to make the UK like Trump's America and they don't care how many of us they lock up doing it. "Prison overcrowding?" Not while there are Grandmas standing up to the Government, 'lock 'em up' Yvette Cooper cries....

  10. It's so predictable..

  14. @manux I don't know if he lives in the camp in Kirchberg, but rather hangs around there probably trying to get his next round of customers.

  15. People smuggler responsible for death of a 7 year-old girl traced to #luxembourg . I regard these vermin as murderers. So many innocent people desperate for a better life are being killed by these money grabbing scumbags.

    Look out for #jabal and report any sightings of him. He is on the run and has probably fled Luxembourg by now.

  18. "The Labour leader hopes the deal will include a replacement for the EU's live police data and intelligence-sharing system."

    Eh? The police agency's data and intelligence-sharing system works as-is. If the UK wishes to be outside Europol, that is surely its problem.

    "'Just because we are outside the EU, doesn't stop us leading in Europe,' Sir Keir wrote."

    It does, actually. The UK now follows.

  20. Many people in Europe, including people about to jet off to Mediterranean beaches for their summer holidays, seem oblivious to the daily tragedies unfolding in the same waters, a senior UN official has said.

  22. If #PeopleSmuggling, risk to life, funding for local resources, life boats etc. is the problem, surely the answer to the #SmallBoats #Migrant "Problem" is to setup a consulate in Calais. #Migrants can legally claim #Asylum or leave to enter the UK there without crossing The Channel. A caring country might even put up some basic shelter while their claim is assessed.

    The thing is, these aren't the problems #Tories care about. Blaming #Immigration for their failures is what they care about.
