Text on image discussing the Dublin Agreement and its implications before and after Brexit. It explains how the agreement allowed the UK to return asylum seekers to other EU countries where they first claimed asylum and notes the changes in policy following Brexit, emphasizing the lack of automatic rights to return individuals. The text concludes with a warning about misconceptions regarding stopping boat crossings.

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.

Does anyone remember that during the Brexit campaign, one of Nigel Farage’s arguments for leaving the European Union was to allow the UK to adopt a fairer immigration system for Commonwealth citizens?

Now he’s saying they shouldn’t be allowed to vote proving yet again the sort of country he wants.

No, they won't Nor will hundreds of other countries.

As for 'mass shootings,' that is a VERY small subset of the problem. Do they exist? Yes, obviously. But they are about 0% of the body count. Your masters have you focusing on that to distract you from the problems that we could be addressing.

0%..? Tell that to the parents of every schoolkid that died and tell them there has to be a body count...And I have no "masters"...I just think all you Americans should review your stance on guns...

What is obvious from this exchange is that Americans will not give up their guns, and are unable to conceive of any society in which they can. In fact, neither can I- I cannot think of any scenario in which America gives up their guns. It saddens me. More so every time you have a mass shooting...

Game meat can be farmed, slaughter of cows and any other farmed animal is not done with a weapon. Guns Are weapons. You just aren't able to conceive a world without them...
