The Dublin Agreement was a huge deterrent. People knew if they arrived in UK & had claimed elsewhere, approved or denied, they would immediately be returned. Now that data sharing is no longer an automatic right. The UK lost access to several shared mechanisms when it left the EU

If I can think of the two vilest politicians in power in the last 10 years, they'd be Patel and Braverman, two terrible Home Secretaries who performed awfully, and they're still shamelessly around. Extraordinary!
Help us make hope normal again.

Tsundoku: the act of acquiring books and letting them pile up without reading them (picture by sketchplanations.com)
Angeln is a peninsula in Germany.
It is thought that a group of Germans called โThe Anglesโ left that area to settle in Great Britain.
People started calling the place they settled โAngle-land.โ
This morphed into โEngland.โ
We now speak โEnglish.โ
Levels of anger, sadness and stress have been creeping up year after year according to polls. That is now changing, but unevenly so. Our charts explain how
Hi Chris, thanks for your comment. I don't like the tone of it, suggesting that I have to "wake up and educate myself" when, first of all, I'm a supporter of the Green Party, and secondly this doesn't prevent me to point out something - rarely - positive from the present government. Best
Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. Itโs a lie aimed to distract.
The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers canโt make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.
In the painting Untitled (2019), we see a group of people lost at sea, wearing red life jackets and waving their arms, swimming to survive. There is no boat, safety net, or someone trying to save them: they are alone, struggling not to drown metaphorically and literally. The movement of their arms and the pools of vivid watercolor give a sense of loss, danger, and anxiety.
A quote by the artist: "I am from many places. I live with that duality and multiplicity in my mind, and in my soul, and in my body."
How does your cultural identity shape your creative expression?
Immigration shift from mostly EU to mostly non EU from 2020 (source: ONS - Sky News)
Small-boat migration is 4.8% of total immigration (source: Home Office - Sky News)
It's pretty baffling to me that some political individuals and parties are blaming the current government for "unleashed" (im)migration when they created the principles and consequences of "the problem" themselves. Extraordinary!

Da sardo di radici ed europeo di spirito che vive in Scozia, assisto giorno dopo giorno all'inesorabile sfacelo di questo governo labourista su cui molti avevano riposto le loro speranze. I Green guidati da Polanski e il nuovo partito di Corbin e Sultana sono aria fresca e speranza per il futuro.
