RECORD BREAKERS!
GB News is reporting that a record-breaking 820 small boat migrants have crossed the Channel today. The highest number on a single day this year so far…
That takes the total Channel migrants crossing this year to over 13,300.
Meanwhile a YouGov poll found more Britons believe Keir Starmer is pro-immigration (35%) than against it (28%).

From the Telegraph
A migrant boat forced the Dunkirk flotilla to divert on its historic crossing. The French navy, “Asked the British ships to get out of the way. It is one of the most important days in our history and they are shoving them out of the way.” Sums it all up.

Typical French political reaction to take the easy way out of any problem rather than have a confrontation however small. They want shot of these unfortunate people and the easy way is let them leave via the sea to the UK.

Surely the most important news today is the revelation that time runs skew weft in the KS household.
After all, this may explain a few things.

What happens to non-UK citizens granted student visas to study in the UK? Of those granted visas in 2021:
–15% are still in Britain on study visas.
– 36% have switched to work visas. (N.B. Over one third!)
– 8% have swapped to family visas or others.
– 41% of them have let their visas expire and, in theory, are no longer in Britain.

Meanwhile so many migrants crossed the Channel TODAY ( 15 boats estimated to have exceeded this year’s record of 828) that the coastguards had to appeal to fishing boats to help yachts and kayaks in trouble as they were too busy.
However the good news (£77,157 - £83,448 per annum (SMG3) for the usual laod of bollocks) keeps on coming:-

Starmer 2024, on borders under the Tories:
“…failure on this scale isn't just bad luck. This happened by design, not accident. Immigration policies were reformed deliberately.”
( 38,000 illegal migrants have arrived since Labour took 'control' )

It would help if the French were allowed to get their feet wet they could then simply puncher the boats while they were in knee high water. Trouble is those in power simply want rid of the boat people even if it tragically means letting them drown.

Shocking statistics.
In 72 schools, no white British pupils are recorded
In 454 schools, they make up less than 2 per cent of the student body

Daily Telegraph today:
Fears over migrants ‘are form of terrorism’
Prevent guidance says ‘cultural nationalism’ could require referral for deradicalisation
CHARLES HYMASHome Affairs Editor
CONCERN about mass migration is a “terrorist ideology” that requires intervention by the Government’s anti-radicalisation Prevent programme, official documents claim.
An online training course hosted on the Government’s website for Prevent lists “cultural nationalism” as a belief that could trigger an individual being referred to the deradicalisation scheme.
This encompasses a conviction that “Western culture is under threat from mass migration and a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups”, staff taking the course are told.

The gradual extension of terror laws to cover actions or speech outside of increasingly narrowing state-approved limits has been an ongoing project of red and blue governments for decades.
Most people wouldn't even have noticed, or will happily justify the state's incremental erosion of our protections against its intrusion along the lines of 'you only need worry if you've something to hide'.
You'd think people would suffer cognitive dissonance if they fume at the Prevent exposure while at the same time, say, beg to be finger-printed. But, in my experience, they do not.
