View from a lawyer from across the pond
“One particularly funny one from the BBC, which is the broadcasting arm of the British government, which is a country which has exactly the kind of restricted birth right citizenship we’re talking about. The BBC: Can Trump revoke birthright citizenship? – which would probably be a surprise to most of the people in Britain, who have this version of birthright citizenship, that it is revoking it… so you know, it’s sort of the lowest common denominator when it comes to how these complex issues are discussed in the press.”
[US prosecutor]
UK law says a baby is British through parentage.
US law says ANY baby born in the US is American
So if Kemi Badenoch been born in the US she would automatically be American.
However she was born in the UK so was like her mother Nigerian at that point
My guess is that as an adult she jumped through extra hoops and applied for British citizenship.
BTW Boris was born in the US but revoked his birthright cos it made his worldwide income subject to US tax.
19m0s “If they’re not here legally, then in that circumstance, you would not have birthright citizenship. You would not be a citizen. Of course, this is not really how it’s been reported.
That nuance has certainly been lost. Just some headlines related to it. …. lists
And one particularly funny one is from the BBC, which is the broadcasting arm of the British government,
which is a country that has exactly the kind of restricted birthright citizenship we’re talking about.
The BBC article : can Trump revoke birthright citizenship ?
, which would probably be a surprise to most of the people in Britain who have this version of birthright citizenship that this is revoking it.
So, you know, it’s just it’s always sort of the lowest common denominator when it comes to how these complex issues are discussed in the press.
blah blah ..Dred Scott case”

Zephir at 1am quoted the Mail article
So it seems that Councillor Sedgewick had some send officers around to the woman’s house, merely cos she was vociferous on Facebook saying he should resign
That’s intimidation by him
and part of Two Tier Justice
He thinks he ENTITLED to do it
Just like h and his group thought they were ENTITLED to post nasty and racist comments in their WhatsApp group
I think ‘councillor Sedgwick ‘ needs to be looked at with their political control of plod – was it phone calls to the local chief ordering a visit ?
This sort of stuff is poison and it’s gonna get worse – I can’t see any politician strong enough to turn the tide …
There are two entrance doors on police stations these days
One door is marked “for normal people”
… go through it and you find yourself outside again.
One door is marked “For Labour politicians & mates”
and when you go through it you find yourself in the Chief Constable’s office
Stew
I need to help you with your thinking. You are completely right.
The politicians know that they are special people. That is why Mzzz Jess can criminalise someone and get them banged up for sending a hurty communication.
My old MP got two of her constituents criminalised for ‘communicating’ with her.
They are special people.
Got stabbed, car set on fire, wife raped ??? Not special.
I predict that the AfD will do much better than the msm are saying.
There will be lots of people who, when asked “who will you vote for” by these polls will not answer AfD because they don’t want people to know who they vote for with the AfD continuously getting bad press from the media.
They will agree with the AfD but not openly say so.
We had it with Brexit and UKIP.
Reform is making it acceptable and AfD is getting there.
AfD will get a larger percentage than the media show IF there is no cheating/vote fiddling etc (as I believe happened to Trump in the election they say Biden won)
Hope so EG – but I suspect any ‘count ‘ these days to be modelled on the Obama/biden model …

“They were only truly free to all between 1948 and 1951. Due to the high demand and cost (by 1949 the waiting list for NHS spectacles being supplied was 18 months); it was decided that from 1951 all adults would make a payment equivalent to about £25 in today’s money towards their spectacles.”

MUNICH, DE — Following Vice President J.D. Vance’s speech condemning Europe for failing to do its part alongside America to protect democratic ideals, European leaders vowed they would exact revenge on the Trump Administration by paying their own bills for security and energy.
“We will not get pushed around by this American Vice President with his steely blue eyes and strong words,” French parliament member Francios Bernard told the press. “We will fight American oppression by cutting them off from NATO and paying our own military, defense, and humanitarian aid bills. Now who is the one laughing?”
Many other representatives from the European Union issued similar statements over the weekend. French President Emmanuel Macron derided Vance for his scathing rebuke of Europe and promised to finally start paying for their own way on the national stage.
“We will not get talked down to any longer by the country we’ve allowed to pay all of our foreign defense bills,” Macron said. “We will show President Trump who is boss. From here on out, no more free American dollars coming into France on my watch!”
Trump issued his own statement that read “Good.”
At publishing time, Europe also vowed to retaliate against the U.S. by halting exports of those chocolate Kinder Eggs.
Lucy – I think macron is in Washington Monday playing the big man …’the oldest ally ‘ routine ..
SO, we spend 2.3% on defence.
Government want to get it up to 2.5%
We spend 0.5% on foreign aid
2.3% plus 0.5% = 2.8%
Simples.

“When the migrants pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, the French president orders troops to the south and addresses the nation with his plan to repel them. However, in the middle of the address, he breaks down, demanding the troops simply follow their consciences instead. Most of the troops immediately desert their posts and join the civilians as they flee north, and the south is quickly overrun by the migrants. Some of the last troops to stand their ground take refuge in a small village, along with Calguès, an old man who has chosen to remain at his home, and Hamadura, a Westernized Indian who is terrified of his “filthy, brutish” countrymen and prides himself on having more in common with whites than Indians. ”

“Most of Europe is struggling with how to reduce spending, but not Norway. It has invested the income from its oil and gas reserves so wisely that it now has what many consider to be the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, estimated to be worth $1tr (£0.6tr) by 2020. But is that too big?”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24049876
Estimated to be worth $1tr!!!!
MM, Thatcher squandered our N.Sea oil & gas instead of doing the same as Norway!
Probably the biggest mistake – but even if she’d have set up a sovereign wealth fund her successors would have burnt through it – it’s that damn NHS leaching national wealth …
Fed, you are correct, especially those wasters, Major, Blair and Brown. Gordon Brown as Chancellor sold off the UK’s Gold Reserves at the bottom of the market at a record low price. Had he kept the UK’s gold Rachel from Accounts could have been selling at the top of the market and plugging that mythical £22bn black hole that she keeps going on about! Saving us a lot of ear-ache!

Should Britain pay slavery reparations? No – we’re owed them

Were Britain daft enough to agree to slavery reparations who exactly would the get money? After all anyone who was a slave has long since died along with anyone who owned a slave and I am personally totally innocent of any such abhorrent crime along with anybody alive today.
I think Africa has got the hump because the white people, just by a few weeks, pipped them at the post with inventing the internal combustion engine.

The big story in the German election is the unstoppable rise of the AfD.
The BBC can’t bear that reality, so who do they make their report about?
An insignificant left wing party called Die Link, complete with video of their photogenic leader, in which she is unchallenged.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckg82wwrwy6t
The even bigger story will unfold tomorrow, in all the left-wing (i.e. mainstream) outfits, press, media, etc., where it will be trumpeted that the outrageous claims that AfDwere going to have an absolutely incredible increase in their vote, have not actually panned out, and that despite the increase (whatever it may be) in the AfD vote, it isn’t anywhere near as high as was predicted. Never mind that it was the left-wing conspirators who made the false predictions in the first place, exactly in order to come up with these negative headlines the day after the vote. They’ve done it before, and they’ll do it again – mark my words.
Bbc bias (lies) in a nutshell, once again:
“BBC exposes its own bias against Reform UK in coverage of major policy.
The BBC has long forfeited the right to call itself an impartial news source worthy of our TV licence fee.
In a stunning display of journalistic malpractice, the BBC has once again proven its inability to report objectively on climate policy. Their recent coverage of Reform UK’s net zero policy announcement is nothing short of a masterclass in bias and misinformation. No BBC fact-checkers in sight when you really need them!
Reform UK’s proposal, far from being a simple “tax on renewables” as the BBC misleadingly reports, is a bold step towards rectifying years of misguided energy policy.
The party’s primary approach is to remove the excessive subsidies that have artificially propped up the renewable energy sector and to eliminate the punitive carbon tax of £60/MWh that has effectively doubled the cost of gas, our most affordable energy source.
Yet, in a breathtaking feat of distortion, the BBC characterises this as “taxing renewables.” This is a totally inaccurate misrepresentation of Reform UK’s policy.
What Reform UK proposes is not a new tax whatsoever, but rather the recovery of taxpayers’ money that has been funnelled into the pockets of renewable energy companies.”
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2018264/bbc-exposes-its-own-bias
“The BBC’s reporting conveniently ignores the core issue: the astronomical cost of net zero policies to the average British household. Instead of investigating the true impact of these policies on energy bills and industrial competitiveness, the BBC chooses to frame Reform UK’s proposal as an attack on clean energy.”

“… but can be influenced (NOT THEIR CHOICE) by “choice architecture” (WHO CHOOSES THE CHOICE) into making better choices (BETTER FOR WHOM?) in their own interests (BUT THEY WERE NUDGED SO NOT THEIR CHOICE).”
What are nudges?
Nudges mean thinking harder about the way people approach decisions and using those insights to design policy. In 2010, the Institute for Government set out some of those approaches in its MINDSPACE report, which suggests that both the messenger and the message were important and that defaults mattered. It remains the Institute’s most downloaded report.
The approach depends a lot on experimentation, and the Nudge Unit has championed wider use of experiments in government.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce98j208254o
Over the following months, their probe stretched from Bradford to London then Scotland and, ultimately, Pakistan.
The detectives found Saeed had adopted the credentials of a real doctor of the same name who was still living in Pakistan.
During his trial the real Dr Saeed was flown over from Pakistan to give evidence, while jurors heard stories of circumcisions carried out in a room overlooked by neighbouring flats and a complete lack of proper facilities or sterilising equipment at the practice.

Starmer’s US Visit Set for Tense Talks as VP JD Vance Criticizes UK Censorship Laws: https://www.infowars.com/posts/keir-starmers-us-visit-set-for-tense-talks-as-vp-jd-vance-criticizes-uk-censorship-laws
Vice President JD Vance insists that the topic of ‘free speech’ will be on the table. Starmers far-left Stalinist persecution of British citizens on religious and/or ideological grounds will be on the table. Political prisoner Tommy Robinson and his journalism exposing Labour Party crimes will be mentioned. Far-left socialist Britain has been repeatedly criticized, particularly for its sweeping orwellian censorship law, the Online Safety Act. The legislation has the unfortunate quality of threatening free speech and US companies.
Vice President JD Vance said of the Stalinist East German type regime in Britain “We’re simply telling them to respect the values on which our civilisation was founded, that you ought to debate with one another, your government should respect when the people have a dissenting viewpoint. It’s very simple, and it’s very obvious.”
However like Stalin, far-left Starmer accuses his enemies of being far-right supporters of free speech fanatic, Adolph Hitler. So refuses to talk to Putin, Farage or Tommy Robinson.
It’s really hard to see anything ‘good ‘ ( for TTK ) coming out of meetings with 47 and JD . They know he is a Marxist Lawyer with no real life experience and likes free money – appoints dolts to his cabinet – and was elected by accident – and that the British public hugely hate him ( I think hate is the right word ) .
I can imagine 47 gently threatening TTK and TTK panicking .
There are so many differences between TTK and the Trump administration …. Just can’t see a happy time and we ( the British voter ) will of course pay the price .
TTK will claim victory over exclusion of tariffs although I think VAT a tricky issue ….
Migrants aren’t the problem…they are the victims of racist Irish people….says BBC.
‘Ireland’s view of immigration one year since Dublin riots’
Note the lie by omission and deliberate attempt to mislead…
‘A year on from the riots that shook Dublin – have Ireland’s views on immigration changed?
The riots began shortly after three children and a school care assistant were stabbed outside a city centre primary school on 23 November 2023.
It led to a night that would see public transport set alight, shops looted and dozens arrested.
In the year that followed, misinformation on social media has demonised asylum seekers, accommodation centres have been attacked and the government is struggling to get to grips with the issue.’
Trouble is it was a migrant who attacked the kids…but that’s apparently ‘misinformation’ now.
The BBC also claims migrants aren’t a problem in regard to housing…they, lol, are on a ‘different housing list’…
‘Despite asylum seekers not being placed on the same housing lists as Irish citizens, a blame game has begun over whether immigration numbers are too high.’
Yeah but….they still get a house that otherwise could have gone to a local.
The BBC presents this almost totally from the viewpoint, not of the Irish, but of the immigrants despite the title of this report…and of course they are all victims who bring only joy and love to Ireland.
Funny how the BBC suddenly hates the Irish when they try to defend their land against invaders….not so long ago they were cheerleading for the violent killers, torturers and criminals of the IRA as they tried to force out British influence…indeed the BBC were quite happy to use the threat of the IRA rearming to try and stop a proper Brexit…which is why we don’t have a proper border between NI and Ireland.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy4n97wv432o
Afghan wants to box for ‘his country’….apparently that’s Ireland…according to the BBC…
‘Young asylum seeker’s dream to box for Ireland’
Trouble is….it’s not Ireland it’s Northern Ireland…he lives in Londonderry….or ‘Derry’ as the BBC also calls it…
‘Mujeeb Rahman’s life in 2019 – a year when more than 3,400 civilians were killed in the central Asian country – was a far cry from the one he currently enjoys in his adopted home of Londonderry.
Derry is now the place he calls home, and where he is seen as a role model in his local boxing gym.’
BBC happy to ally with the terrorist IRA and hand over NI to them….and yet they complain about the Gulf of America.
Might suggest if he wants to fight Mujeeb Rahman go back to Afghanistan and fight the Taliban…might do a lot more good.
BBC ignoring this very sinister development as a woman is harassed by police for daring to criticise a Labour politician….
‘Grandmother spoken to by police after criticising Labour politicians online’
‘A grandmother was spoken to at her home by police after she criticised Labour politicians online for sending offensive WhatsApp messages.
In a series of Facebook posts Helen Jones called for the resignation of a councillor embroiled in the WhatsApp scandal which led to the sacking of Andrew Gwynne, the former health minister.
In the wake of the scandal, Mrs Jones repeatedly posted that Cllr Sedgwick must resign from his Heatons North seat.
In one post on a Facebook group called 4Heatons Hub, Mrs Jones said of Cllr Sedgwick: “Let’s hope he does the decent thing and resigns. I somehow think his ego won’t allow it.”
In another, after posting screenshots from the Trigger Me Timbers group, Mrs Jones wrote: “Not looking good for Cllr Sedgwick!!!”’
Clearly she’s a dangerous extremist putting politicians in fear of their lives…not.
I’d suggest the officer who approved this should resign but I don’t want a visit from plod…lol.
Maybe, just maybe, JD Vance had a point when he said the real danger wasn’t so much Russia but from within our own societies…on so many levels.
Shame the never-Trump BBC can’t bring itself to report the reality…and you can bet when it does report this story we’ll be told the woman is a far-right nazi white supremacist drug-taking paedophile misogynist….funny how the BBC links irrelevant allegations to a white person which have nothing to do with their crimes but when it’s a Muslim, an Islamist, you’d be hard pushed to know they’re Muslim…it certainly won’t be in the BBC heading…as with the Islamist stabbing in France yesterday as a knife attacks people….
