  1. Apparently part of "Take Back Control" means that there's going to be Spanish guards checking _all_ passports in Gibraltar, even if you never set foot in Spain 😆

    And on top of that, Gibraltar is joining the customs union and aligning import taxes with Spain. We might as well just give it back at this point 😆

  4. Feeling late to the punch with creating an account here, as the alternative, non-federated options grow more and more invasive/toxic/propagandized each day.

    A worthy sentiment for our first post:

    The best time to create an account way from the control of the tech elite was when we found out there was an alternative. The second best time was right now, so here we are 🤘

  5. 🇬🇧 Once again, Britain is betrayed.

    The High Court has BLOCKED the deportation of migrants to France, striking a major blow to Keir Starmer’s so-called “returns deal.” Another promise broken, another chance for real control stolen from the British people.

    How many times must we watch judges, lawyers, and activists step in to protect everyone but us? We were promised strong borders, we were promised fairness, and instead, we get endless legal roadblocks while our communities carry the cost.

    This isn’t compassion, it’s chaos. It isn’t justice, it’s betrayal. Ordinary Britons have no say, no protection, and no respect from the establishment that laughs in our faces. All the while, politicians talk tough, but fold the moment the courts bark back.

    Britain is not a hotel. We are a sovereign nation. We have the right to decide who comes here, and under what terms. If our leaders can’t deliver that, then they don’t deserve to lead.

    The patience of the British people is running out. Enough excuses. Enough weakness. We want our country back. 🇬🇧✊

  10. 🇬🇧 When will Britain finally catch a break from this endless tide of migrants?

    Another headline today: Keir Starmer’s migrant returns deal faces down a legal challenge less than 24 hours before the first deportation flight. Once again, the will of the British people is being blocked, stalled, and watered down.

    We’ve had enough of being ignored. We voted for secure borders. We voted to take back control. Yet time and time again, the courts, the lawyers, the activists, and the politicians put everyone else’s rights before the rights of the people who built this nation.

    We are told endlessly that Britain must bend over backwards, while our communities shoulder the strain, our services stretched, our culture undermined, our voices dismissed. All the while, those who claim to lead us pose for cameras and make empty promises, while they fly in more and more people who have no loyalty to our way of life.

    It is not “xenophobic” to want fairness. It is not “racist” to want our children safe, our streets orderly, our sovereignty respected. It is British common sense. And yet, we are branded as the villains simply for daring to say what millions think.

    Britain deserves leaders who stand up for her people, not for Brussels, not for foreign courts, not for NGOs. We deserve the right to defend our borders and to choose who enters our land. We are a proud nation with centuries of history, not a dumping ground for the failures of global politics.

    Enough is enough. 🇬🇧✊

  21. One of the things I've been advocating for years - and where I want to raise my voice even louder - is the importance of owning your data. #OwnYourData

    Over the past few days, I’ve come across two examples of how misinformation is causing immense damage, leading people to believe that there's no alternative but to hand over their data to big corporations, putting themselves entirely in their hands.

    - A well-known lawyer, just before a meeting, warned about using Teams and its new "virtual assistant," which joins conferences before anyone else and transcribes everything. When I pointed out that it would be wise to use alternative tools (like Jitsi, for example, but there are others), he abruptly ended the conversation, saying, "We've lost this war. There's no alternative anymore."
    That wasn’t the right moment for a detailed discussion, so I just noted that alternatives do exist - but if no one starts using them, and if we passively accept certain behaviors from certain companies, things will never improve for us.

    - Just now, I received another one of those emails that hurt more in the heart than in the wallet: "Our e-commerce is taking off, so we’re moving it to Shopify to better manage our growth."
    I replied, trying to explain that handing over a growing e-commerce business to a third-party company (right now, they have full access to their own server - meaning all their databases, data, etc., are under their control) means losing ownership of it. Prices could change at any moment, contract terms could shift negatively, and, worst case scenario, if Shopify itself faced issues (which seems impossible today, but think of giants like Kodak), they could lose everything. Of course, they’ll do what they think is best, but I feel obligated to warn them.

    Luckily, others are making the opposite choice. But I keep wondering: since these big platforms aren’t exactly cheap, rather than "selling themselves" to them just for (potentially) fewer headaches, wouldn’t it be worth paying someone (not me, of course, but someone working exclusively for them) to handle these things - ensuring they retain full ownership of their business and their data?

  22. I think the sadness of what's happened in America - and eventually, to all of us - has just hit me.

    I'm not quite sure what to do with this feeling, other than acknowledge it, then get up and do something about it.

    Might take a couple of days, but that's the plan.

    Take care, all of you. Together, WE are the power.

  28. A couple more hours digging out the last compost in the right hand heap (it's got a paving slab floor, so I know when I've dug it all out), then shredding some of the brambles (until my shredder blocked because of convolvulus that went in with them). I'm now very hot and sweaty. Sweat running into bramble scratches is particularly unpleasant.

  29. talking about a United Ireland as away of getting the #Brexit they wanted and Habib voted for the Withdrawal Agreement which contained the hated NI Protocol.

    They are #liars it is time they were called out for it. Plus in my opinion, NI we will never be served by putting our faith in an English government to help us here.

    We need to #takebackcontrol from them. NI will be better served by our own politicians than those across the water.

    It is time to think differently..
