Greek coastguard threw migrants overboard to their deaths The Greek coastguard has caused the deaths of dozens of migrants in the Mediterranean over a three-year period, witnesses say, including nine who were deliberately thrown into the water. The nine are among more than 40 people alleged to have died as a result of being forced out of Greek territorial waters, or taken back out to sea after reaching Greek islands, BBC analysis has found. The Greek coastguard told our investigation it strongly rejects all accusations of illegal activities. We showed footage of 12 people being loaded into a Greek coastguard boat, and then abandoned on a dinghy, to a former senior Greek coastguard officer. When he got up from his chair, and with his mic still on, he said it was "obviously illegal" and "an international crime". In five of the incidents, migrants said they were thrown directly into the sea by the Greek authorities. In four of those cases they explained how they had landed on Greek islands but were hunted down. In several other incidents, migrants said they had been put onto inflatable rafts without motors which then deflated, or appeared to have been punctured. Reuters

Europe's 'new' terrorist group after warning issued Sweden is 'on brink' of civil war A neo-Nazi group in Sweden has become the second-ever white supremacist organisation to be designated in the US. The US State Department announced on June 14 its decision to designate as Specially Designated Global Terrorists the Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM) and three of its top officials - Tor Fredrik Vejdeland, Pär Öberg, and Leif Robert Eklund. This is the first time the Biden administration has made a similar move against a white supremacist group, and it comes four years after the Trump administration designated the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) and its leaders. The State Department said the NRM designation as a terror group was the result of "having committed or attempted to commit, posing a significant risk of committing, or having participated in training to commit acts of terrorism that threaten the security of United States nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States".

Absolutely. You just have to look at the history - Only after the Civil War, with the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870, were Black men given the right to vote. Not until the 19th Amendment passed in 1920 were Black women allowed to vote. Even then, a vast system of obstacles — including poll taxes and literacy tests — prevented many Black people from voting. The civil rights movement focused on many of those practices, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had a profound effect on reducing vote suppression. But even with thisl, inequality persists. Hanging chads etc under Bush...

Conversely the Republicans knowing most Black people vote Dem use a range of tricks to deter them. In Detroit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, during last election there were thousands of robocalls to Black voters with an ominous campaign message: If you want to vote by mail, it warned, your personal information will be turned over to the police and to debt collectors. The call played on crude racial stereotypes that those Black people were in debt/wanted by the feds, and was blatantly false. Similarly here, the tories are fucked so they have brought in ID at voting booths saying it is to 'stop electoral fraud'. The reality being no problem existed - but they know disenfranchised people, are hardly ever to vote tory and many dont have any ID or if people forget, they know they wont return to the polling booth

Three Valencia fans have been sentenced to eight months in prison for hate crimes against Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior, in what La Liga described as the first conviction related to racist abuse at a football match in Spain. The ruling goes back to a match in May last year during which several Valencia fans hurled racist slurs at the Brazilian footballer. The match came to a halt for several minutes as Vinícius pointed to a Valencia fan in the stands, telling his teammates that the man had called him a monkey and made the gestures of an ape. Reuters

Chelsea will turn down any loan moves for Romelu Lukaku this summer in a bid to sell the Belgium striker in a permanent deal. They are looking to recoup some of £97.5m they paid Inter Milan for him in 2021, with their asking price believed to be about £37m as the club aims to get the 31-year-old's £325,000-a-week wages off their books. 325 000 a week fucking hell get rid now

Its true with the pandemic and the lockdowns there are some young people that find it really difficult to communicate and adjust, and there has been a spike in young people with mental health issues. generally its the young though that take risks, want change, its old cunts that want the status quo, and have too much to lose
-
History shows us its the young that take risks, more likely to instigate change, revolutionaries - people generally get more conservative as they get older and tend to resent youth -as in the quotes you highlighted. old cunts -Biden, Trump, Putin, Bush, netanyahu cling to power at the expense of youthful change. There was a good sketch I remember of Bush senior pressing the nuclear button shouting ''I dont get laid, then no one gets laid!"

80 Years since D day and liberation of Europe. Listening to some of the D day vets, they were 17 and 18 year old kids at the time - they say 'we were children, not men' - they all have the same message 'war is hell' no matter how the media make it sound 'exciting'. The German vets are very happy with D day as well, they say they were terrified of the Soviet Union dominating Europe. Most are in their 90s and 100s now, so will not be around for the next commemoration. We should not forget their sacrifices, and all the freedoms we just take for granted.

Farage has pledged to lead Reform UK not just for the election, but for the next five years in a longer-term campaign to become the real opposition to a Labour Government. Interesting to see who lasts the longest out of their 5 years, Enzo or Fromage

Would be if we had PR Proportional Representation. With that system UKIP would have had 160 MPs. With the first past the post more likely Labour win or a hung Parliament

Yup think a few pinning their hopes on Farage, now hes ditched his Orange mate. Farage with his EU passport and EU Citizenship...Farage and Reform know that right now, the UK’s broken political system is highly vulnerable to exploitation – there’s power to be taken and money to be made. In its current state, the UK’s democratic system is a demagogue’s paradise.

Seriously, Behdad: it’s going fine. Don’t worry, Todd. Everyone knew the plan from the start. Sack the guy who won you the Champions League, sack the promising young coach you hired to replace him, sack the experienced blue-chip coach you hired to replace him, hire a guy from the Championship, raise ticket prices for the first time in 13 years. This is the process. We get it. We see it working. Meanwhile, all the best in next season’s Conference League. i newspaper

Yeah thats true. The tory press, or press as its known 😉are scaring people about Labour - remember the note they left ''there is no money left'' 800 billion deficit. Apparently ALL outgoing governments leave a 'jokey' message from the Treasury. 800 billion sounds a lot, current tory deficit stands at around 2.6 trillion. It was soaring before Covid so they cant use that as an excuse.

I remember my politics lecturer from years ago when we looking at the different parties/ideologies. You know, we looked at Socialism, liberalism, Greens, Conservatism, Fascism etc. all the different ideologies. When it came to Conservatism he said - ''basically the Conservative party was set up by the very rich to represent the very rich. They are against ALL public services, and their policies are flannel mainly with the express intent to divide people over gender, colour, class as they get richer.'' I always remembered that and seems to be true. 14 years and most people are actually worse off now. Unbelievable cunts still vote for 'em though.

It went down, but net migration (legal and illegal has gone up again in the last 6 months. Apart from the 520m to Macron and 420 million to Rwanda it is also costing us taxpayers 11m a day for the 'hotels'. Three large firms have contracts to run the hotels. Serco, Mears, and Calder. All are tory donors and have seen their profits trebled with their CEOs pay increase from 250 000 to 2.5 million a year each. Just another way the tories steal public money. No wonder they have no incentive to solve the 'crisis'. I think they adhere to the mantra of Genghis Khan - ''to rule a people you must first sow absolute chaos''

Five years is a bit optimistic - Jose was the longest 3 years 2004-2007 in recent history- and we've had 20 managers since then averaging a year. Give it another year max before its Cheerio Enzo....
