I carry a UK passport, and I am a migrant. Specifically, an economic migrant, living where my lifestyle is better. Never an Expat....historically the term applies to those who travel to somewhere distant from the UK for employment but expects to return to the UK to retire.

As a migrant to France, yes, pretty much. In our own case, it would be easier to integrate if we were of working age and more exposed to French people. Our biggest interaction with France (bureaucratique) is the health system, guests in our Gite, taxes, weekly shop and trip to the local bar.

Β£7m of damage with paint sprays? Really? Bet someone is pretty embarrassed they were able to walk in to what should be a secure base. Palestinians need support and the UK government needs to stop helping Israel kill them. People with signs are not terrorists. People with guns and bombs are.

Israel lobby funded a quarter of British MPs
Exclusive: Declassified is publishing the full list of British MPs who received funding from pro-Israel lobbyists.
"Israel lobby funded a quarter of British MPs"
If you wonder why the UK defends the indefensible: always follow the money.
Israel sends its rich and powerful lobby groups and buys politicians all over the US, Canada, and Europe.

This is such a disgrace, itβs almost beyond belief. The Met & other police forces are willing accomplices, sure, but the blame lies principally with Keir Starmer & YvetteCooper MP & this utterly shameful Labour government. They are digging their own grave.

About twice as many people at Solihull Moors versus Forest Greeen Rovers (1568) as at all the anti-asylum protests at Saturday. It was one of a dozen non-league games in the 5th tier of English football.
Many more people at Charlton v Watford today (21,178) than at all asylum protests all summer
