🚨🇬🇧 BRITAIN'S MIGRATION MATH JUST FLIPPED: ASYLUM SEEKERS NOW DRIVE THE NUMBERS Britain's net migration plummeted to 204,000 while asylum claims hit 110,000, a record that reveals everything about modern immigration's transformation. Asylum seekers now constitute 44% of net migration, double their pre-Brexit share. This isn't just statistical noise;...

🚨OUTRAGEOUS: UK MIGRANT ACCOMMODATION COSTS TRIPLE TO £15.3 BILLION! 😱😡 Britain Is Broke Yet Wasting Billions Of Pounds Of Taxpayer Money Housing Migrants 🏨 😤 The National Audit Office exposed the scandal in May 2025. The Home Office originally promised asylum accommodation would cost just £4.5 billion over ten years. That figure has now exploded to £15.3 billion, more than triple the original budget. This is a national disgrace. Britain is drowning in debt with public sector net debt at 93.1% of GDP. The country has suffered record tax rises pushing the tax burden to all-time highs, sky-high energy bills hammering families, and creaking public services on the brink, yet billions are being wasted on asylum claims where most are economic migrants — military-aged men clearly gaming the system. It’s a p!ss take! In 2024-25 alone, asylum support swallowed around £4 billion of taxpayers' money, with expensive hotels eating up £2.1 billion of it. Even now, nearly 31,000 asylum seekers remain in hotels, costing a fortune every single day while pensioners and public services go short. The numbers driving this crisis are truly shocking. In 2025, a staggering 41,262 people arrived on small boats, a 13% increase on 2024, and these crossings made up 89% of all detected illegal entries into the UK. Overall, 100,625 people claimed asylum last year. Worse still, the appeal backlog has ballooned to a record 80,333 cases at the end of 2025, a shocking 91% increase from the previous year. This means tens of thousands more people staying in the system longer, driving up costs even further. Over 107,000 people are now receiving asylum support, with the hotel bill still running into billions. Hard-working families are footing the bill for a system that has completely spiralled out of control.

Bournemouth beach in 2026 — once one of Britain’s cleanest, most family-friendly resorts — now looks like this. Video shared by The media SOI 🇬🇧 shows the shocking reality: mountains of litter, overflowing bins that don’t exist, and a beach dominated by non-white migrants while white British families are nowhere to be seen. The transformation is total and deliberate. This wasn’t an accident. Decades of open borders, small boats, and zero integration have turned a proud English seaside town into a dumping ground — both literally and figuratively. The same people who arrive illegally or as asylum seekers are handed hotels, benefits and priority housing while British taxpayers watch their favourite beaches and public spaces trashed and culturally replaced. British families used to spend summers here without a second thought. Now parents have to think twice before letting their kids play on the sand. The mess, the noise, the disregard for basic standards — none of this existed before mass migration. Specific policy demands that must be implemented immediately: • Stop the boats and turn every illegal vessel back using the Royal Navy. • Mass deportation of every illegal entrant, failed asylum seeker and foreign national with a criminal or anti-social record — no appeals. • British citizens first in housing, welfare, jobs and public services — full stop. • End two-tier everything: enforce littering fines, public order laws and basic British standards equally for everyone. • Halt all further migration from high-risk countries until every illegal arrival is removed and our beaches, towns and streets are restored. Bournemouth is not alone. This is happening from Brighton to Blackpool. The British people never voted for this. We never asked to become strangers on our own coastline. Enough is enough. Reclaim our beaches. Reclaim our country. Put British people and British standards first — always. 🇬🇧

Shabana Mahmood's new "safe and legal routes", allowing hundreds of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers, sponsored by mosques and NGOs, to settle in Britain, is based on the 2023 Fabian Society proposal, Lawful and Fair: Building A Better Migration System. The paper prohibits deportations and says that democracy does not mean "that every policy must command a majority" of public support. Sponsors will receive taxpayer subsidies to support the migrants, and migrants must repay £10,000 in housing costs — but this can come from benefits, also paid by British taxpayers. This is while they are given brand new homes in small villages, despite the Home Office admitting that they pose a threat to schools and nurseries. Mahmood also quietly reversed the ban on illegal migrants gaining British citizenship, saying it was "outside their control" that they paid a people smuggler to ferry them to Britain. Immigration policy is a crucial part of their gradual socialist revolution. It is why Labour will never respect the public's wishes to see immigration stopped and reversed. The next government must commit not just to sending everyone imported via this scheme back, but to stripping citizenship from illegal migrants and the Boriswave. Otherwise, we will be stuck with these people, and their costs and crimes, forever.

🚨 Helen Whately has just said what every hard-working taxpayer in “Alarm Clock Britain” has been screaming for years — and she’s absolutely right. “Alarm Clock Britain is sick of paying out for Benefits Street.” Why on earth would anyone drag themselves out of bed at dawn, pay crippling taxes, energy bills and rents, just to watch others rake in £30,000, £40,000 or even £60,000 a year completely tax-free on benefits? The incentives are completely broken. Work doesn’t pay. The system rewards staying home while punishing the grafters who keep this country afloat. But let’s be brutally honest — this isn’t just Keir Starmer’s mess. The Tories had 14 years in power to smash the welfare trap and the mass-migration time-bomb that supercharged it, and they did next to nothing. Now under Labour the benefits bill is exploding, the housing crisis is swallowing entire towns, and native British families are last in every queue while foreign nationals and their families jump straight to the front. This is two-tier welfare in full disgusting view: British pensioners choosing between heating and eating, British kids priced out of homes their grandparents built, British workers taxed to the eyeballs — all to subsidise a growing underclass and the demographic replacement experiment both parties enabled for decades. Hotels packed with illegal arrivals. Council lists flooded by foreign-born households. And a benefits system that actively disincentivises work for far too many. The hypocrisy stinks even more coming from MPs like Helen Whately herself — happily claiming £39,000 a year in taxpayer-funded London rent on top of her six-figure salary and hundreds of thousands in expenses. The political class lectures us about “scroungers” while living very comfortably on public money themselves. The silent majority has had enough of being treated like cash machines for everyone except ourselves. We demand: ✅ A radical welfare overhaul — British people and British contributors first. Strict work requirements, time limits for able-bodied claimants, and a hard benefits cap that actually means something. ✅ An immediate end to benefits for illegal migrants, failed asylum seekers and anyone who hasn’t contributed. ✅ Mass deportations for foreign nationals living off the British taxpayer. ✅ A total halt to non-essential immigration until the welfare, housing and NHS crises are fixed. ✅ Real politicians who finally put Alarm Clock Britain — the hard-working backbone of this country — first, not globalist virtue-signalling and open borders. Enough is enough. The current system isn’t broken by accident — it’s broken by design. The Tories failed. Labour is making it catastrophic. Only real change will sort it. Restore Britain. Britain first — always.

Ireland's Quiet Clearance: 16,500 Ukrainians Booted from State Housing Just Weeks Before the EU Migration Pact As barrister Tracey O'Mahony asked on X: Did you know the EU Migration Pact goes fully operational in three weeks? From June 12, Brussels will dictate how many economic migrants and asylum seekers Ireland must process and accommodate under its new "solidarity" rules. The timing is damning. While the nation focuses on the looming EU directive, the Irish government is quietly phasing out accommodation for around 16,500 Ukrainian refugees. Announced in late April, hotels, B&Bs, and emergency housing used since 2022 will wind down from August. Those who arrived before March 2024 get three months' notice before facing Ireland’s strained private rental market. This is no mere administrative tweak. It’s a deliberate clearance of capacity. Why evict genuine war refugees, many working, paying taxes, and integrating, right before the Pact’s full rollout?The answer is cynical but predictable. The government is freeing beds, hotels, and housing not for Irish families on waiting lists or the homeless, but to absorb the expected surge of asylum seekers and migrants under the Pact. Ireland opted in with no opt-out. The mandatory solidarity mechanism requires Dublin to accept its quota or pay penalties to Brussels. The numbers are coming, and they won’t be Ukrainians. It’s a stark inversion of priorities. In 2022, Ireland welcomed over 100,000 Ukrainians, commandeering hotels at costs peaking at €30 million weekly. Now, the same system views their continued stay as inconvenient. Meanwhile, the asylum system strains under tens of thousands of applicants from safe third countries arriving via irregular routes. Ireland faces one of Europe’s worst housing crises. Citizens and tourists struggle for accommodation, yet hundreds of millions have been spent housing non-Irish nationals. With the Pact’s border procedures, screening centres, and quotas imminent, space is needed. So Ukrainians, who fled real war, receive eviction notices, while new arrivals get priority. This is certainly premeditated. Politicians who supported the Pact knew the timelines and quotas. Instead of pushing back on Brussels, they’re displacing refugees who came in good faith under temporary protection. Tracey O’Mahony is right to raise the alarm. In weeks, the EU will enforce its rules. Ireland’s government is clearing decks for the influx at the expense of those already here. The Irish people deserve straight answers: How many more will the Pact force us to accept? At what cost to our own citizens? And why are Ukrainians being moved aside? As one commentator eloquently put it in reference to the recent high-profile death of Congolese man Yves Sakila: “We don't need more Yves and thieves, we need a major migrant reprieve.” The accommodation isn’t being freed for efficiency. It’s being cleared for the next wave and the government knows exactly the clientele that's coming to replace them.

If THIS is progress, I dread to see what FAILURE looks like. He stood on the cliffs on 2 August telling us this was PROGRESS. 22 DAYS in office. 3,003 CROSSINGS. Nearly a THIRD of that in the last four days alone. A RECORD 230 on one boat. Then yesterday came the lecture that we all need to play our part. Oh, we are. The British ARE more than playing their part in this, you absolute T*SSER. £14 MILLION a year, one boat. £186 MILLION since you took office. That’s OUR bit. We’ve been doing it for years. What more exactly do you want from us? 230 people. ONE boat. £14 MILLION a year just from THEM. We’ve done our bit. Do YOUR bit and STOP THE BOATS. Three roofs. Three prices. Hotel, £14 MILLION a year, for 230 people. HMO, £1.95 MILLION. Barracks, £13.4 MILLION. One of these isn’t like the others, and it’s not the one costing less. They told you barracks would save money. That’s not a saving. That’s the same bill in a different building. HOTEL Per night: £39,100 Per month: £1.17 MILLION Per year: £14 MILLION MILITARY BARRACKS Per night: £36,800 Per month: £1.1 MILLION Per year: £13.4 MILLION HMOS Per night: £5,347.50 Per month: £160,425 Per year: £1.95 MILLION A national rollout, still growing. Wethersfield’s ceiling is 1,700. Crowborough’s being extended. RAF Scampton already cost £60 MILLION before being scrapped, never even opened. Three more sites, Barnham, Bicester, Linton-on-Ouse, are planned for 3,750 more people. Parliament’s own library has reported plans involving thousands of additional bedspaces, while the Home Office has been operating asylum accommodation across hundreds of sites nationwide. Parliament’s own Public Accounts Committee has criticised the Home Office’s long-term planning and its reliance on hotels. The Shadow Home Secretary’s own words, “built on an assumption that the hotels magically empty themselves, they still have no plan for where these people will go.” THE WIDER SYSTEM At the end of 2025, 107,003 people were receiving asylum support. 30,657 were still in hotels. 46,824 were members of family groups. The Government says the asylum support system cost around £4 BILLION last year. FOUR BILLION. But apparently WE need to “do our bit”. We are. We’re doing it every time the bill lands. BRITISH WORKER Median salary, take home after tax is £2,391 a month. Rent, bills, food, all comes out of that. ASYLUM SEEKER Accommodation provided if eligible, with utilities included. For people in self-catered accommodation, £49.18 a week PER PERSON for food, clothing and toiletries. That’s roughly £213 a month in cash support and that’s before the extra payments. Pregnant mother: +£5.25 a week. Baby under 1: +£9.50 a week. Child aged 1 to 3: +£5.25 a week. £300 ONE-OFF maternity payment for eligible mothers. If meals are provided in the accommodation, the weekly cash allowance is lower. So yes, there are different rates depending on the accommodation. HEALTH Eligible asylum seekers can receive NHS healthcare. HC2 support can also cover NHS prescriptions, dental treatment, sight tests and help towards glasses or contact lenses where the eligibility rules are met. EDUCATION Children can attend free state schools. And there are specialist sanctuary scholarships too. One University of the Arts London postgraduate scholarship, for example, is worth up to £50,000 and covers tuition, course costs and living expenses. LEISURE Driving lessons, £20,143 in Kent, in one year alone. Dance classes, £14,125, running until 2028. Free gym access, five leisure centres in Richmond. 70% off everything in Edinburgh. LEGAL Legal aid is available for asylum and immigration matters where the eligibility rules are met. Interpreters can also be provided where required. And people wonder why Britain is seen as a SOFT TOUCH. France has been saying it for years. Even the UK Government now openly talks about PULL FACTORS and making the asylum system less attractive. Funny how the rest of Europe can see the problem while Westminster keeps explaining it to us as though WE are the problem. More people. Less capacity. Higher bills. Fewer services left for the people who built this country and paid for it their whole lives. Our tax bills rise. Our services shrink. Our own vulnerable go without. That system belongs to British people first. We built it. We funded it. We’ve done our part. So no. Don’t stand there telling us to do more. Stop telling us to do ours and start doing YOURS. YOU and your machine, stop this. STOP THE BOATS. Different face but the same MACHINE behind him.

Last night, I spoke in the debate on the government’s proposed new immigration and asylum legislation. What has become clear is that a significant number of people in this country – around 50 to 60 per cent, according to polling – believe immigration and asylum policy is in need of reform. That includes a more robust approach to people-smuggling gangs, faster processing of asylum claims, quicker removal of those whose claims fail and a reduction in the use of asylum hotels. Some of that concern is rooted in fact. Case backlogs, rising boat crossings and the sheer scale of numbers are real, and they play their part. This is legitimate criticism of a system that is failing everyone: those who rightfully seek to be here, those seeking sanctuary, and those who live here and want a democratic say over the scale and pace of immigration. That isn’t racism. That’s giving people a real say over their own community. But other forces have played their part too. Structural racism, dog-whistle politics, media sensationalism and the mainstreaming of racist tropes by the main political parties are all bound up in the complex equation that has brought us here. Responsible progressives must confront this reality as humanely and responsibly as possible. Failure to act will simply drive more people into the arms of extremists. So what should reform look like? An immigration system that is responsive, democratic and flexible: alive to the needs of the economy, balancing genuine labour shortages sector by sector with re-skilling and training programmes for those already here, and matched by investment in public services and housing. Alongside it, an asylum system that is fair, provides safe routes, fosters integration and sees us take our fair share of the world’s dispossessed. Both must be rooted in clear but strict rules and, critically, in public support. Anything else simply isn’t sustainable. Judged against that standard, the government’s new legislation is neither humane, effective nor responsible. Aside from one or two proposals, the bill is a smorgasbord of political signalling to a reactionary gallery that will never be sated, and of punitive measures that will do little to reduce case backlogs, cut the numbers in hotel accommodation or speed up integration. It also opens the door to the hard right on human rights. They have long sought, for a variety of reasons, to undermine these universal protections. Indeed, the Tories saw the opportunity a Labour government presented with this bill. Not content with it watering down human rights protections for all of us, they attempted to go further and remove us from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) altogether. That is not a door we should be opening in an attempt to placate the hard right. Human rights legislation was forged in the aftermath of the Holocaust, of the concentration camps, of the horrors of fascism. It has protected hundreds of millions of people across the world. Yet the Tories, Reform and many others across Parliament glibly talk of throwing it away. Labour should not be following them down this path. The reason they are called “human” rights is that being human is the universal condition. The day we forget that is the day we open a dark chapter in our country’s history. For this reason and others, I voted against the bill at second reading. It is the last gasp of a government that has lost moral authority on this issue for millions of people. With new leadership, I hope we can finally grasp this issue in a practical, effective and humane way: striking a balance between protection and enforcement, and rebuilding trust with the majority of voters on secure borders.

Last night, I spoke in the debate on the government’s proposed new immigration and asylum legislation. What has become clear is that a significant number of people in this country – around 50 to 60 per cent, according to polling – believe immigration and asylum policy is in need of reform. That includes a more robust approach to people-smuggling gangs, faster processing of asylum claims, quicker removal of those whose claims fail and a reduction in the use of asylum hotels. Some of that concern is rooted in fact. Case backlogs, rising boat crossings and the sheer scale of numbers are real, and they play their part. This is legitimate criticism of a system that is failing everyone: those who rightfully seek to be here, those seeking sanctuary, and those who live here and want a democratic say over the scale and pace of immigration. That isn’t racism. That’s giving people a real say over their own community. But other forces have played their part too. Structural racism, dog-whistle politics, media sensationalism and the mainstreaming of racist tropes by the main political parties are all bound up in the complex equation that has brought us here. Responsible progressives must confront this reality as humanely and responsibly as possible. Failure to act will simply drive more people into the arms of extremists. So what should reform look like? An immigration system that is responsive, democratic and flexible: alive to the needs of the economy, balancing genuine labour shortages sector by sector with re-skilling and training programmes for those already here, and matched by investment in public services and housing. Alongside it, an asylum system that is fair, provides safe routes, fosters integration and sees us take our fair share of the world’s dispossessed. Both must be rooted in clear but strict rules and, critically, in public support. Anything else simply isn’t sustainable. Judged against that standard, the government’s new legislation is neither humane, effective nor responsible. Aside from one or two proposals, the bill is a smorgasbord of political signalling to a reactionary gallery that will never be sated, and of punitive measures that will do little to reduce case backlogs, cut the numbers in hotel accommodation or speed up integration. It also opens the door to the hard right on human rights. They have long sought, for a variety of reasons, to undermine these universal protections. Indeed, the Tories saw the opportunity a Labour government presented with this bill. Not content with it watering down human rights protections for all of us, they attempted to go further and remove us from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) altogether. That is not a door we should be opening in an attempt to placate the hard right. Human rights legislation was forged in the aftermath of the Holocaust, of the concentration camps, of the horrors of fascism. It has protected hundreds of millions of people across the world. Yet the Tories, Reform and many others across Parliament glibly talk of throwing it away. Labour should not be following them down this path. The reason they are called “human” rights is that being human is the universal condition. The day we forget that is the day we open a dark chapter in our country’s history.

ALLOW ME TO TRY EDUCATE MY sister Jacinta Ngobese🇿🇦 and OTHERS WHO THINK LIKE HER🚨 I just realised your understanding of migration is far too narrow and ngibona ngathi u need just a little bit of schooling. And correct me if I'm wrong I'm getting an impression u have not traveled outside this country before... Mamela ne my sister from another province: people don't migrate only because they have scarce or what we call exceptional skills, NO!! If that were true, the only migrants in the world would be doctors, engineers, professors and scientists. People relocate for countless reasons: to reunite with family and once they do they cn start jobs there. Others retire and go settle in other countries, start businesses, invest, study. Others seek safety or asylum and for ur own information asylum seekers are entitled to everything except voting. Others enjoy a different lifestyle so they leave and go to other countries. Others marry and relocated they don't need to have exceptional skills, others explore new opportunities, or simply because they prefer living in another country. Someone with enough money can buy a house in Namibia, Botswana or Portugal and settle there without ever looking for a job. Millions of migrants also work in ordinary occupations such as cleaners, farm workers, waiters, drivers, factory workers, caregivers, packers, construction workers and hospitality staff. These aren't necessarily "scarce skills," yet countries across the world legally recruit people for them because there is huge demand. Go to cape wine lands lots of migrants working there with other South Africans because the demand for them is high not as u put it that it's cheap labor South Africans themselves migrate for all kinds of reasons, learn languages others clean others pack goods . Some teach English in Thailand, South Korea, China and earn reasonable amount of foreign currency not cos theyr cheap.. Others study abroad and later find work there. Some start small businesses that locals don't want to do... None of this means they possessed scarce skills before they moved. Migration has existed for thousands of years and is driven by economic opportunities, education, family, investment, conflict, lifestyle choices and personal freedom, not just scarce skills. I hope this helps broaden your understanding because u seem to look at doctors as only acceptable immigrants. It's important that we don't mislead the public and educate them with a complete picture of migration rather than reducing a complex global phenomenon to a single reason.

🚨 ALERT AMERICA: HERE IS THE PROOF - ONE OF THE NINE FEDERAL REFUGEE CONTRACTORS ADMITTED THE ENTIRE RESETTLEMENT SCHEME ON CAMERA AMERICA HAS BEEN SOLD OUT! This 2021 video from Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM), one of the nine federally funded refugee resettlement contractors, is one of the most revealing pieces of footage you will see. They were speaking openly at All Saints Church in Pasadena, assuming no one outside their activist circles was paying attention. But what they admitted is devastating. This wasn’t a sermon or charity. It was a full-blown political strategy briefing, filmed in a church, explaining how the U.S. government and religious NGOs work together to: 📍 dramatically expand resettlement pipelines 📍 pressure Congress to change immigration laws 📍 mobilize churches as pro-immigration activist armies 📍 build permanent support networks for arrivals 📍 redefine “refugee” to include economic & climate migrants 📍 overload the system by design 📍 coordinate lobbying directly with Washington And they said all of it out loud - we are funding our own demise! 1. They admit they are an official U.S. government partner Brother Chris McNabb of EMM states: “EMM is a ministry of the Episcopal Church and one of nine national agencies responsible for resettling refugees in the United States in partnership with the government.” This is not charity. They are federal contractors with a financial quota. More refugees = more money. It’s that simple. This is state-funded demographic policy laundered through churches. 2. They confessed the scale: from 18,000 refugees → to 4,000 Afghans PER WEEK McNabb brags: “In 2020 all nine agencies resettled about 18,000 refugees. We are now resettling 4,000 Afghans a week.” This was a mass importation pipeline, not a humanitarian drip. He openly says they had to “staff up significantly” because the pipeline “exploded overnight.” 3. They admit DHS used “humanitarian parole” to bypass the legal process McNabb explains Afghans were: “Paroled in by the Department of Homeland Security… because they did not have time to wait for the immigration system to operate.” Translation: ➡ Normal vetting was bypassed. ➡ The legal process was circumvented. ➡ Tens of thousands were rushed in without proper screening. Congress still hasn’t adjusted their status, but the arrivals are here permanently. 4. They train congregations to take in asylum seekers and parolees — not just refugees Through the Neighbor to Neighbor program, churches are trained to: 📍 provide physical & emotional support 📍 provide transportation 📍 help navigate legal processes 📍 sponsor asylum seekers & Afghan parolees Teams of 5–10 church members take over the roles official agencies would normally handle. This decentralizes the pipeline and embeds it inside communities. 5. They push churches to DEFUND ICE Rector Mike Kinman proudly declares: “We are strong advocates for the complete defunding of ICE.” So you have: 📍 a federally connected resettlement contractor 📍 working with the State Department 📍 using a church pulpit to demand the abolition of ICE This isn’t ministry. This is open-borders political warfare. 6. They openly plan to expand “refugee” to include climate & economic migrants When asked what happens to migrants who don’t meet asylum criteria, McNabb says: “We will begin seeing more and more climate refugees… more folks who come for economic reasons. We are preparing for that.” They are planning the next wave, economic & climate migrants, long before Congress approves anything. 7. They reveal the Episcopal Church has a lobbying arm on Capitol Hill They talk about OGR - the Office of Government Relations - their official lobbying office in the “God Box” on Capitol Hill. From the stage they instruct congregants to: 📍 call Congress 📍 pressure senators 📍 demand the Afghan Adjustment Act 📍 expand asylum categories 📍 increase refugee admissions 📍 secure more funding for EMM This is organized political lobbying coordinated from the church pews. 8. They admit they operate 11 affiliate offices nationwide, including in red states When asked about IRIS in Los Angeles, McNabb says: “That’s one of our 11 affiliates.” They place arrivals everywhere: Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, Miami, and beyond. Red states are the main prize. And their “interfaith” branding? A manipulative façade - a left-wing coalition built to push anti-Western, anti-Christian, and anti-Jewish policy through religious cover. 9. They tell congregations to serve undocumented immigrants, too Kinman boasts All Saints is a “sanctuary church” ready to support: 📍 undocumented immigrants 📍 asylum seekers 📍 Afghan parolees 📍 migrants with “various statuses” This goes far beyond refugees — this is a parallel, extra-legal system. 10. They end by admitting the goal is a permanent, embedded migration infrastructure McNabb says this is just: “the beginning of a relationship.” The goal is permanent community integration — meaning once these pipelines enter your town, they never leave. 🚨 WHY THIS MATTERS, AMERICA This is just ONE of the nine federal contractors. In one hour, at one church, they admitted: ✔ their formal partnership with the U.S. government ✔ the massive scale of Afghan importation ✔ bypassing normal processes through parole ✔ pushing to abolish ICE ✔ expansion to climate & economic migrants ✔ their professional lobbying arm ✔ their nationwide network ✔ their plan for permanent demographic restructuring If this is what they say on camera, imagine what they say off camera. Americans deserve to see this video, understand how this system truly works, and decide whether they consent to having their communities transformed, with their tax dollars, without their input. Any politician - Republican or Democrat - who continues funding this racket, this federally backed demographic-engineering pipeline that European leaders openly describe as human-trafficker behavior — WILL be held accountable. If you fund it, defend it, or stay silent while your voters are kept in the dark, Laura Loomer and I will expose you. And WE will fight with everything we have to make sure you never hold office again. No one is going to fight like Laura and me to protect American communities from turning into mini-Islamic states!

In this world, Africans face inhumane treatment not only from those who don’t look like them, but also from those who look, talk, and share the same DNA with them. It is hard being a Black African living in a racist world which also has people who look like you working against your group interests. I thought of Donald Trump’s racist asylum visa programme favouring South Africa’s white Afrikaners as I drove past Khayelitsha on my way to Cape Town international airport to catch my flight back to London, and wondered who actually needs help, the privileged Afrikaners or the poor Black people living in informal settlements like Khayelitsha. These informal communities are a product of apartheid’s economic inequities and the incompetence of corrupt post-colonial leaders who have come to see this type of settlement as normal, thirty-one years after gaining political independence. People living here face high rates of untold crime, overcrowding, inequality, and general suffering. It is important to consider the historical and systemic factors that contributed to the economic and social conditions that communities like Khayelitsha face today, these factors are not exclusively from one source. The racist visa programme favouring Afrikaners highlights the need for a more nuanced and equitable approach when powerful countries deal with international matters, especially when considering the ongoing effects of apartheid and its lasting impact on South Africa’s Black population. The presence of informal settlements like Khayelitsha serves as a stark reminder of the enduring effects of colonialism, particularly apartheid, and the failure of post-colonial leaders to address the root causes of poverty and economic inequality, that is why I say today’s crisis is not exclusively from one source. It is important to recognise that addressing these issues requires a comprehensive and inclusive approach that prioritises the needs of those most impacted by systemic injustices, the Black people who were humiliated by apartheid and now by poverty powered by economic inequities. The irony of Trump’s racist approach towards South Africa is that it forbids the country from radically addressing the inequalities created by centuries of racist rule, while giving help to those who do not actually need it. It is a continuation of a racist order that has long subjected Black people to being second- or third-rate global citizens. The fact that Trump can lie about a white genocide happening in South Africa, with the help of his racist allies who own social media platforms, shows how very little has changed in global politics since the lynching days except for cosmetic changes. For a state like America to lie about a genocide happening in South Africa while totally ignoring the impact and existing realities authored by racist rule is truly wild and an uncomfortable reality that Black people must live with and not in denial. Unlike Trump, who is looking after people who look and think like him, the Black man’s burden is living in a racist world where your own people, presiding over the affairs of your own country, are also working against you. While Khayelitsha is rooted in hundreds of years of racist rule, it remains a present-day reality because of failed post-colonial Black governments that do not grasp the urgent need to bestow dignity on the lives and realities of Black people. The failure to create employment and roll out adequate housing has made the situation even more unbearable. How does it feel for those in power, and those enjoying generations of wealth built through racist enterprises, to drive past Khayelitsha in their million Rand automobiles? The funny part about life is that Black Americans are actually persecuted in America with the tacit approval of the state, yet it is the same state accusing South Africa of something it has not done, all while the Black post-colonial government fails to redress the economic humiliation of the Black South African living in shameful places like Khayelitsha. Unlike the descendants of racist rule in South Africa, who are now beneficiaries of Trump’s racist asylum visas, those in Khayelitsha have nowhere to run to, only to endure their indignity in pain, as time passes by, creating a generational curse passed on from father to son and mother to daughter.

🚨 The silent flood: Canada's hidden immigration crisis While Canadians obsess over the heavily scrutinized Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the real elephant in the room quietly flooding the country with nearly a million temporary workers every year remains completely under the radar. The International Mobility Program (IMP) is the Liberals' favourite backdoor for mass, unmitigated migration. It’s a largely underreported program that is wreaking absolute havoc on Canadian housing, health care, wages, and the future for young Canadians. It comes in stark contrast to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) that dominates in headlines, which requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for entry. Employers have to prove they can't find Canadians first, through the assessment process. It’s well documented that this is not a foolproof process and that program is riddled with fraud, exploitation and abuse, but the IMP? It doesn’t even need a LMIA! Instead, the IMP is mostly wide open to anyone under international agreements, intra-company transfers, post-grad work permits, spousal open permits, and dozens of exemptions. Non-permanent residents with employment income are broken down into a few different categories under the umbrella of foreign workers with work permits, including the TFWP, the IMB for work purposes, IMB for study purposes, IMB for other purposes, study permit holders without a work permit and “other” temporary residents without a work permit. In the 2025 Report to Parliament on Immigration, Minister Lena Diab approved the message that this is “based on the broader economic, cultural, or other competitive advantages for Canada and reciprocal benefits enjoyed by Canadians and permanent residents.” Yet the surge has been entirely unprecedented. The report notes that “in 2024, there were 191,630 individuals with new work permits under the TFWP” verses a staggering “717,405 individuals with new work permits under the IMP.” That’s more than half a million more people than the TFWP; almost four-times as many! The largest source country for this is influx is India, followed by Ukraine. Year after year, the IMP dwarfs the TFWP, with the disparity growing a staggering amount since at least 2010; numbers that exploded under the Liberal government in 2015. This isn't the controlled, sustainable immigration that Canada historically knew – it’s floodgates wide open. Open work permits (i.e. no LMIA) mean these workers can go anywhere, to any job, because there’s nothing tying them to a specific employer or proven labour shortage. The results of this flood is predictable chaos. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem called for policy changes in October 2025 to address a lowering standard of living, explaining that productivity growth has been weak, and without structural improvements (which monetary policy cannot directly fix), incomes will end up lower than they otherwise could have been. Canada's temporary resident population ballooned to millions, driving the housing crisis into overdrive, making rent skyrocket, leaving young families priced out and youth not getting entry level jobs. Hospitals are overwhelmed, schools are strained, and federal policy implications from this are being continually downloaded onto provinces and municipalities without adequate resources to absorb the culture shock. Youth unemployment climbs as employers flood the market with cheaper temporary labour. Public polling shows most Canadians now see temporary foreign worker programs – and by extension this unchecked IMP surge – as hammering housing affordability and job prospects for Canadian kids. Yet the Liberals kept the taps on full blast for years, prioritizing 'broader economic benefits' over Canadian workers and communities. This is the same government that lectured us about 'building back better' while importing the scale of a small city every few months without building the infrastructure to match. It's reckless, unsustainable, and it’s hitting everyday Canadians the hardest, especially in our biggest cities and provinces like Ontario that are disproportionately expected to absorb this influx. While the TFWP gets most of the blame and the press, the IMP is the silent predator. It’s bigger, faster, and far less accountable. The Liberals opened these floodgates, and now we're all paying the price with a generation of young Canadians shut out of the housing and job markets their parents took for granted. Elbows up, Canada.

Canada's temporary resident population ballooned to millions, driving the housing crisis into overdrive, making rent skyrocket, leaving young families priced out and youth not getting entry level jobs. Hospitals are overwhelmed, schools are strained, and federal policy implications from this are being continually downloaded onto provinces and municipalities without adequate resources to absorb the culture shock. Youth unemployment climbs as employers flood the market with cheaper temporary labour. Public polling shows most Canadians now see temporary foreign worker programs – and by extension this unchecked IMP surge – as hammering housing affordability and job prospects for Canadian kids. Yet the Liberals kept the taps on full blast for years, prioritizing 'broader economic benefits' over Canadian workers and communities. This is the same government that lectured us about 'building back better' while importing the scale of a small city every few months without building the infrastructure to match. It's reckless, unsustainable, and it’s hitting everyday Canadians the hardest, especially in our biggest cities and provinces like Ontario that are disproportionately expected to absorb this influx. While the TFWP gets most of the blame and the press, the IMP is the silent predator. It’s bigger, faster, and far less accountable. The Liberals opened these floodgates, and now we're all paying the price with a generation of young Canadians shut out of the housing and job markets their parents took for granted. Elbows up, Canada.

Getting clobbered by the economy? Identify as an illegal alien and the feds will treat you like royalty Millions of dollars of taxpayer funds are being used to rent hotels to house asylum claimants. In Mark Carney-led Canada, by every economic metric, life is in decline. The cost of living, unemployment, homelessness, and food bank usage have all soared this past decade. Indeed, the war on poverty has never seemed so grim as we all breathlessly await the “elbows up” strategy to kick in. So, riddle us this: how is it that given the overwhelming debt and deficit in Ottawa, somehow there are apparently millions of taxpayer dollars available to put up illegal aliens in nice motels and hotels? The latest example: the Comfort Inn on Kingston Road in Pickering, Ont., is now owned by Durham Region. It was recently “repurposed” to provide temporary housing for asylum claimants. Translation: members of the taxpaying public are persona non grata at the so-called “Durham Reception Centre” but non-citizens are warmly welcomed. Yet, the question arises: in these tough times, is this a prudent use of taxpayer dollars? We went to the former Comfort Inn to interview City of Pickering Councillor Lisa Robinson. She is the lone voice on council who is highly critical of this program and laments that there was zero public input into this initiative as the meetings about the property were held in secret. But while on site, we learned about an astounding piece of information that has received no publicity whatsoever. Namely, “guests” at the reception centre are only allowed to stay there for a maximum of 90 days. So, what happens when that three-month term expires? Do these people seek accommodation at city shelters? Do they join the rank and file of the local tent city? But no. It appears they get upgraded, not downgraded! Case in point: we approached an African man in the parking lot in a late-model SUV. He told us he used to stay at the former Comfort Inn, but he now lives in a house. He also told us that he remains unemployed. So, who is paying the rent for that house? You guessed it: the ever-beleaguered taxpayer. Note: the average rent for a house in Pickering is $2,650. Then, things got weird. Staff and security at the former motel called the police. Why? Good question. Two police SUVs soon arrived. The officers were very cordial. We explained our purpose for being there and they passed on to us that a representative from Durham Region was en route to answer our queries. In the meantime, we were welcome to stay on the property. And then things got weirder: after about an hour passed, one of the police officers informed us that the person we were waiting to interview from Durham Region had changed his mind. Apparently, he would not be leaving his office at Durham Region – a headquarters that features a $1 million revolving door, by the way. Bottom line: it would appear those bureaucrats gainfully employed at Durham Region are not only good at wasting taxpayer money but they also excel at wasting everyone’s time. That’s unfortunate. There are so many questions about this “reception centre”. But there remains a dearth of tangible answers – which is egregious given that the taxpayer is funding this program. Prior to our visit, we did reach out previously via email to Durham Region. Here were our queries: 1⃣ If this is a federal government initiative, why is Durham Region involved? 2⃣ What are the capital costs and operating costs pertaining to this facility? 3⃣ Homelessness and food bank usage have rapidly increased this past decade. How do we win the war on poverty if we keep importing the world’s impoverished? 4⃣ Is this facility exclusively for illegal aliens or can domestic homeless people access it? If not, why not? 5⃣ From which countries to the illegal aliens originate from? Alas, none of our questions were directly answered. Instead, we were provided with the following statement: “The Government of Canada provided funding, to the Region of Durham, to purchase a former hotel in Pickering. It will become the Durham Reception Centre. Located at 533 Kingston Road, in Pickering, the centre will provide temporary accommodation and supports for asylum claimants through the Durham Humanitarian Response Program (DHRP). Ukrainian nationals began staying here in 2022. By 2023, all asylum claimants were welcome at this site. And as of March 31, 2026, the program had assisted 1,957 people, with 1,244 putting down roots in this region. The location was purchased with funding from the federal Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP), which will also help to support some future operating costs. Securing a dedicated interim housing facility was a core requirement of the IHAP funding. It also aligns with several priorities outlined in the Durham Region 2025–2035 Strategic Plan. Although owned by the Region, the Community Development Council Durham (CDCD) will operate the site. The team will provide temporary accommodations and settlement services for up to 250 asylum claimants who will stay for no more than 90 days. An asylum claimant is someone who arrives here then asks for help to stay safe. There is no federal income support while their claim is being decided. Municipalities and community organizations step in to help. Asylum claimants are different from government‑assisted refugees. The Durham Reception Centre strengthens this work by providing a dedicated, federally funded facility where individuals and families can safely and efficiently transition into long‑term, independent housing and begin building their lives in Durham Region." Alas, no dollar figures were provided. And the wording seemed to imply that Ukrainian asylum seekers were being accommodated here, although on the day we visited, all the illegal aliens we encountered hailed from Africa and the Middle East. And we can only imagine the full price of this program if these people all get a house to live in after their motel stay expires. Again: must be nice. David Menzies

When the Nigerian economy fell into hard times in the early 1980s, the government issued a “Quit order” expelling undocumented immigrants. In the video below, Nigeria’s president, “Minister” Shehu Shagari fielded questions about the scale and the death of people during the mass exodus. Interestingly, there was not much improvement in Nigeria’s economy after the order was carried out. According to Dr Hashim Gibrill of Clark Atlanta University, “The economic impact was acute, notably in sectors like hospitality and construction, where many skilled workers were lost”. Many foreign manual labourers and skilled tradesmen vanished overnight, stalling building projects, while small businesses, hotels, and agricultural sectors lost a massive pool of cheap, reliable labour. At the same time, the policy failed to save the government economically as the economy continued to freefall. On 31 December, 1983, less than a year after the expulsion order, military Major General Muhammadu Buhari overthrew the government in a military coup, citing a completely ruined economy. Ultimately, historians agree that the 1983 expulsion was a severe humanitarian tragedy that caused massive regional disruption and provided absolutely zero economic relief to Nigeria. Now, to be fair, it makes total intuitive sense on the surface for people to believe that expelling migrants will improve their economic situation. That is precisely why political leaders throughout history have used this tactic because it relies on logic that feels like common sense, even though economic reality repeatedly proves it wrong. This is because from a purely intuitive standpoint, people tend to look at the economy as a zero-sum game, with jobs, housing, and government resources as a fixed pie. It sense that if there are 100 jobs and 20 immigrants occupy some of them, expelling those immigrants means 20 citizens get those jobs. Similarly, when unemployment and inequality are high, finding complex macroeconomic solutions takes years. But blaming a visible, distinct group of outsiders offers an instant, simple explanation for a complex mess, which makes it attractive to a frustrated public. But the thing is that in any economy, jobs are not a fixed pie, and when you suddenly remove millions of consumers from a country, as Nigeria did in 1983, the demand for bread, clothes, transport, and rent plummets. Businesses lose customers, revenues drop, and many end up retrenching more workers. Again, it’s common sense to assume a citizen will just step into an undocumented worker’s shoes. But in reality, citizens often refuse to work the same low-wage, backbreaking labour like seasonal agriculture. South African farmers routinely report struggling to recruit and retain local South African workers for these short-term, backbreaking harvesting seasons as farm work is highly intensive, temporary, and often located in remote areas. South African citizens, who have constitutional rights, families to support locally, and expectations of fair labor standards, rightfully refuse to work for these illegal, sub-poverty wages. So, this is less about citizens being “lazy” and more about the distortion of the labour market because undocumented workers lack legal protections, unscrupulous employers exploit them by paying well below the legal minimum wage and ignoring labour laws. Still, if those undocumented workers disappear overnight, many exploitative small businesses and farms face sudden operational collapse rather than a seamless transition to local labour. Needless to say, for South Africa, a sudden exit of regional labour, much like Nigeria experienced in 1983, would not solve South Africa’s unemployment catastrophe. Instead, it would instead cause immediate labour shortages in agriculture, spike food prices and shrink the overall size of the economic pie available to everyone.

Rosalie Chapman's call to rejoin the EU is a must watch - one of the best speeches by a young person 👏 "Years ago, the people of this country made a choice" "A choice that has left us isolated, diminished and weaker than before" "To those who voted leave, I say this. You were lied to" "Not just misled, not just misinformed. Lied to" "Do not forget the promises emblazoned on buses and broadcast in campaign ads" "Promises of £350 million a week for the NHS" "Promises of trade deals so plentiful they'd fall in our laps" "Promises of an economy unshackled from EU bureaucracy" "Promises of falling migration, promises of sovereignty restored, and promises that Britain would reclaim its place as a leader on the world stage" "Every single one of those promises was broken" "And today we bear that cost" "They will tell you that this country was broken and they fought to fix it" "The reality is they broke it and now we have to fix it" "If you voted to regain sovereignty, instead, you got borders that have never been more porous" "If you voted to cut migration, instead you have a doubling of net migration since 2016" "If you voted for 350 million pounds a week for the NHS, instead you have an NHS in crisis, understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed" "Ambulance wait times, the longest on record" "Cancer care, the longest on record" "If you voted for bold new trade deals, instead, you got five new trade deals, dwarfed in scale by the unparalleled access we once enjoyed with the European single market" "If you voted for a trade revolution, instead, you got a trade collapse" "If you voted for a booming economy, instead, exports have plummeted, small businesses are suffocating in paperwork and industries like fishing, once the poster child of Brexit, are being decimated by domestic tariffs and quotas" "If you voted for a Great Britain, you were left with a little Britain" "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not sovereignty, this is not controlled, this is not opportunity" "Let's call it what it is, a total national tragedy" "By 2035, Brexit is predicted to have cost the UK 300 billion pounds" "That is not a distant abstraction. It is a fiscal black hole that will impact every community, every classroom, every hospital bed in this country" "The pound has plummeted, our exports have fallen by 15% and foreign investment is slipping through our fingers" "40,000 jobs in London lost" "2 million jobs nationwide lost" "These are mere statistics.

Simple" "There would be another referendum, not necessarily this year, not necessarily in two years, but at some point in our future" "Voters would receive a fact checked information booklet with details about the vote, what it would mean and accompanied by by party positions" "And those who are skeptical, let me say this" "A strong Britain needs a strong Europe, and a strong Europe wants a strong Britain" "So members, if you seek a more prosperous economy, if you seek a more welcoming country, if you seek more personal freedom, reopen your hearts to Europe, members, reach out your arms to Europe, members, unclench your fists to Europe" "Because before long, and no doubt within our lifetimes, the arguments which are being traded tonight will be played out before the country as a whole" "So if there is anyone who doubts Britain's desire to re enter the eu, who still wonders if the dreams of unity are alive in our time, and who questions whether hope can triumph over the bitterness of our past, let tonight be that answer" "I beg you, members, vote to rejoin the European Union" "Thank you"

🚨Alice Weidel "FIRED" WARMONGER Merz 🚨"You talk about war with Russia all the time. Only war! You want to drag Germany into it," AfD leader Weidel attacks Merz in the Bundestag. 🚨This government statement was the swan song of someone who has failed. 🚨Mr. Merz, even your own people are already discussing replacing you, but you sing hymns of praise to yourself. ‼️Here are the facts: 🚨The labor market is collapsing. Half a million jobs were los by the German economy in the first quarter compared to the previous year. 🚨Every twenty minutes, a company falls victim to the insolvency tsunami. Industrial orders are collapsing at double the rate expected. The industrial core is melting. High taxes and energy costs, bureaucracy and planned economy are strangling the foundation of our economy, while the state apparatus continues expanding. The exodus of industry abroad borders a mass exodus. Along with the companies and the jobs, the people are leaving. In their first year in office, as many German citizens emigrated as never before. It is the young ones, it is the well-educated who leave, because they no longer see a future in their own country. Mass immigration into our social systems from the third world continues unabated in contrast. A six-digit number of illegal immigrants arrive under the pretext of asylum, and on top of that, another large city worth through the back door of family reunification. When it comes to deportations, your record is even worse than thatof the traffic light coalition. "You're sending billion after billion to Ukraine, thereby financing the continuation of a war that should have been ended long ago. You still haven't demanded an accounting from Kyiv regarding the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. Instead, you're deliberately seeking confrontation with Russia, a nuclear power, to distract attention from your own failures. You talk about war, you talk about nothing but war, you talk about war, and you want to support this war by dragging Germany into it. Meanwhile, peace is precisely what this continent needs, and Ukraine too. Let's finally talk about peace, not war. And the truth is that Ukraine should never become a member of the European Union or NATO. Period."

🚨Alice Weidel "FIRED" WARMONGER Merz 🚨"You talk about war with Russia all the time. Only war! You want to drag Germany into it," AfD leader Weidel attacks Merz in the Bundestag. 🚨This government statement was the swan song of someone who has failed. 🚨Mr. Merz, even your own people are already discussing replacing you, but you sing hymns of praise to yourself. ‼️Here are the facts: 🚨The labor market is collapsing. Half a million jobs were los by the German economy in the first quarter compared to the previous year. 🚨Every twenty minutes, a company falls victim to the insolvency tsunami. Industrial orders are collapsing at double the rate expected. The industrial core is melting. High taxes and energy costs, bureaucracy and planned economy are strangling the foundation of our economy, while the state apparatus continues expanding.

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil

A guy who's built companies for 25 years just went on Diary of a CEO and said plumbers will earn more than lawyers within the next 2 years. Sounds insane. But the numbers actually back it up: Last week alone, $280 BILLION was wiped off the value of legal and data companies. Thomson Reuters crashed. LegalZoom got hammered. The entire knowledge economy felt the shockwave in real time. Why? Because AI just proved it can do what a $500/hour lawyer does for $20 a month. Daniel Priestley went on the show and explained how he recently had a legal case that was quoted at $60,000 by a law firm. Instead of paying, his team used Claude. The AI gave them a full coaching session on how to handle the case, mapped out multiple decision tree pathways, generated every document they needed, and even built a spreadsheet breaking down exactly what to say and what not to say in the negotiation. Total cost: $20 a month. They resolved the case without a lawyer. Now multiply that by every business in the world that's paying legal fees they no longer need to pay. The entire financial model of knowledge work is collapsing in real time. Meanwhile, ask yourself this: Can AI fix your toilet? Can it rewire your house? Lay your foundation? Replace your roof? It can't. And it won't be able to for decades. Here's where the supply and demand crisis gets ugly... Governments spent 20 years pushing every young person into university. Get a degree or you'll never get a job. So an entire generation that should've become plumbers, electricians, and builders went and got master's degrees in subjects nobody was hiring for. They came out with $60-80K in debt and ZERO marketable skills. That created a massive shortage of tradespeople. And now AI is about to flood the market with unemployed knowledge workers while the demand for people who work with their hands explodes. The math is simple: Too many lawyers, not enough plumbers. AI makes the lawyer surplus worse every single month. Priestley called this the most important economic shift of our LIFETIME. For 30 years, blue collar work has been devalued. Everyone wanted to sit behind a screen. White collar was the "smart" path. That era just ended. The pendulum is swinging back hard. And the people who positioned themselves in physical, hands-on work that AI cannot touch are about to be the highest earners in the economy. For anyone building a business right now, the lesson is clear: Stop chasing what's "prestigious." Chase what's SCARCE. AI can write your contracts, build your website, run your ads, and draft your emails. But it cannot show up to your client's office, shake their hand, and solve a physical problem. The winners of the next decade won't be the most technically skilled. They'll be the ones who bet on what machines can't do.
