BREAKING: The “16-year-old boy” who drowned off the Calais coast yesterday was actually a 28-year-old man named Abdulfatah Hamdallah

Sudanese migrant who drowned trying to reach UK named independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
His fellow traveller, who survived, lied about his mate’s age. They also stole their boat from a shop

They were not “desperate children”. Yet the media/MPs lapped this up & attacked @pritipatel based solely on an illegal immigrat’s fake testimony 🤷🏼‍♂️
Also, French politician Pierre Henri Dumont - who claimed this showed the U.K. didn’t have “an ounce of humanity” - might want to look into claims that Abdulfatah Hamdallah had already applied for asylum in France...
This tragic story is all that’s wrong about our immigration “debate”. Basic fact checks are out the window as the media & politicians are so keen to “prove” the U.K. is heartless & uncaring. These sorry souls are being used as political footballs. It’s so tawdry

Earlier this week I argued the BBC had no place educating our kids. This nonsense of the myth of white privilege further cements my position

It’s agenda-driven brainwashing, designed to make white kids feel terrible about their very existence
The clearest example white privilege is a myth in the U.K. is educational attainment. In order of those most likely to attend Uni from state schools: Chinese, Asian, black, mixed, white. Worse, there is not a single government directive to address this
Those arguing “but it isn’t their whiteness that prevents them getting to Uni” aren’t paying attention. Their whiteness means they are not getting the help they so desperately need. To help them would be deemed racist or divisive - because policy makers believe white privilege

Newly erected poster of Ursula Von der Leyen in Brussels reads: “‘In fair free elections, the power of the people, determines the people in power”

1. She didn’t stand in a fair/free election - she was the EU’s only candidate
2. Doesn’t this feel a bit North Korea? 😫🇬🇧
It’s also worth remembering 1. Von der Leyen wasn’t even on the ticket of four prospective Presidents that MEPs voted for. She was inserted over & above MEP votes 2. Despite that, every attendant Tory MEP voted for her, despite the fact she wants “more Europe” & an EU Army
Oh and Labour MEPs voted for Von der Leyen, too. For clarity, every @brexitparty_uk MEP voted against her

#BreconByelection some thoughts: smart money was on a Lib Dem win. They’ve targeted the seat for two years, threw the kitchen sink at it and scored a good win. For the @brexitparty_uk it was our 400th target seat from 650. So did we split the vote? >>
Well, a significant number of people either didn’t trust Boris to deliver a clean-break Brexit, or would never vote Tory anyway, and voted @brexitparty_uk This represents a headache for Tory HQ as this will be replicated across the UK - more so in our target seats
Then consider this: more people voted Leave/pro-Brexit in #BreconByelection than Remain (Tory + @brexitparty_uk = 16,080 v Lib Dem = 14,906).

This is in line with 52% v 48% at EU Ref so there has been no “Remain resurgence”. Actually Brexit “won” in Brecon *
