Refarding #Farage's 'videos' of migrants landing in #Kent:
The 'St Margaret's Bay' one he posted (just to pick one example) shows a different coastline in the background.
The 7 onboard suddenly become 4 then 11.
Video of them 'on the beach' after 'wading to shore' shows them bone dry from waist down.
Video of them walking away has them mostly wearing different clothes. And they appear to have suddenly gotten taller.
How many others are faked or composed of clips from elsewhere reused ?
If there truly is an ''INVASION !!'' of boats ''SEVERAL TIMES A DAY !!" then why would #Farage need to create a mini compilation of bits 'n' pieces of other vids - possibly from other countries, other years - to post ?
Lying is in his nature, it the only tool he has.
The downloaded video contains no EXIF data. It's been scrubbed - or put through a video editor and exported.
If it's genuine, there is no reason to do so.
I call on Nigel #Farage to send me the original clips for close examination.
[This is just 1 video I picked at random.]

Because we’re looking at the problem from the wrong end.
The small boats are not a crisis, only in that they add to the real problems:
- The rapidly growing shortage of hotels for asylum seekers;
- The interminably long delay for those people to have their applications processed.
Solve THOSE two problems … in an efficient, humane and legal manner … and the actual boats become a minor distraction, easily handled through a better process.
In addition, you solve the shortage of hotels … by solving the delays to processing of asylum applications.
By the way, in #London, The #ULEZ Expansion being implemented by Mayor Khan ...
... is by stipulation of the Tory Government in 2020.
1/3.
Precisely, by Transport Minister (at the time) Grant Shapps, to Sadiq Kjhan, 14/05/2022, Section 12, Part (h) .. as a part of the Central Government TFL Pricing Agreement.
2/3.
More precisely, this letter :
(This is why Shapps has been so silent on the matter)
So a Care ‘Charity’ set up by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt had 1 employee, who not only had never worked in the arena, but was a former employee of Jeremy Hunt who resigned in disgrace, and who’s now re-employed by Jeremy Hunt, and received 2/3 of the charity’s income as salary.
In addition the ''charity' pledged to use donated funds to research and report on Patient Care.
Research completed : Unknown.
Reports published : Zero.
For a few weeks I have been evaluating @bikemap and @komoot as cycle mapping applications.
One or t’other, not both, would get my hard earned monthly fee.
Well, a decision has been made.
Actually, enforced upon me by an unethical business practice.
Having used both of the free versions, I had decided to go with @bikemap, until today when having not used the app for a couple of weeks I discovered something absolutely atrocious.
@jdpoc I created a number of routes on @bikemap, and followed them on the cycle for navigation purposes but I now find suddenly that that feature has been suddenly withdrawn.
THIS DAY in 1933, a refugee arrived at #Dover with a patchy work history and no ties to this country, fleeing oppression from the #Nazi regime who had burned his books and turned his home into a #Nazi Youth Centre.
The UK Authorities misplaced his papers.
His landing card - his only documentation at the time - was lost and only rediscovered in 2011.
The Daily Mail urged readers to boycott his lectures raising money for other refugees from the #Nazi regime.
Apparently he wasn't good enough, and didn't qualify for refugee status, him being only a Nobel Prize winning world-acclaimed scientist and renowned Professor.
