Sun headline about £500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Course you would!😜

Let's take a look

3 and 4 are "it depends"

Assistance has specific rule around who can be assisted and who can assist and the manner of assistance that may be provided.

3 can be an offence if there is an attempt to influence a vote.

But without details it's easy to see how you could record legal activity as this

And there is a process for that, the question is how many people know and is this observation showing that we invest too little in polling stations and staff.

It doesn't have to be a bad thing.

As an example.

Their training material indicates what they consider signs of family voting, but it would be perhaps interesting to ask for a breakdown against these 4 types to see how much was "voters in the same booth" and how much was "having a conversation".

"Don't bring a knife to a gun fight"

Prez's multipolar world view falls apart when the global superpower hands your ally their Ayatollah in a box and you suck it up because what else can you do?

You're roadkill are you? Thank's for the self identification but I think you're overestimating your rank on the scale of life.

You're the bacteria in the gut of the maggots feeding on the roadkill.

You may be laughing now but that key will soon wind down. But don't worry I'll keep winding you up.

A few of you? That being the voices in your head?

Why don't you stick a hot poker up your own arse? That is your thing isn't it weirdo.

How tight is that sphincter muscle that you can't ease it over your chin and pull your head out into the daylight?

I don't do a battle of wits with an unarmed man, so do fuck all the way off.

Does this work for you? You get many people biting on this gaslighting?

Sad little man.

Didn't mummy love you enough?

And yet somehow you're still the dumber one in this conversation. How does that feel?

Self identifying as a religious fanatic who enjoyed torture? Can you be more of a cockwomble?

Ahhh did little Mattie get his bum bum smacked by the nasty green lady and now you're all melty?

Snowflake and a (grammar) Nazi.

What a combination.

You appear to be lost, this isn't the Nazi bar.

Back to Elmo's shithole.

What "existential risk"?

Where is the evidence?

Iran fired off all its pre-targeted missiles and Israel took what damage? How many US troops were targeted after you killed how many Iranians?

Why now? Because Needy Amin does what Netanyahu asks. He believes him over his own intelligence agencies.

"We War Crime Together"?

Er, no thanks.

The classic Rab C Nesbitt bit on "ma man"

CPS didn't bring criminal charges due to insufficient evidence.

But there were multiple civil findings related to the 2014 tower hamlets mayoral election.

You want an enquiry into fairy tails?

The only ones to end up in court for election fraud were reform.

The kind of family voting Matt BadLoss would approve of.

"Can I ask if you're interested in the question of women's rights?"

"Oh I don't know I'll need tae ask ma man"

And your reminder that "family voting" includes observing that voters "talked to each other" after receiving their ballots not actual evidence of votes being influenced.

(Note that Matt was let off by blaming the printers)

Cases of successful prosecuted postal vote fraud - vanishingly small.

All based on vibes and "they must be doing it".

Such as deconflicting airspace Pete?

So so stupid, only cost you 3 F15's.

"We warcrime together" is going to be the motto of the Red Sea Treaty Organisation is it?

This is the internet, being told is not knowing.

You're smarter than that.
