I know ( sort of ! ) it seems that the proposal is that any immigrant who has committed an illegal act ( like entering the country without authorisation ) or has been charged with a crime can be deported via the expedited route ( no hearing allowed I think ) .


So that seems excessively scary . Tho I might be wrong .And I don't think it's been approved yet ? White House advisors still working on it ?


Mutterings from ICE that if every case is a priority for deporting ,then none are a priority .

The BBC tonight says memos have been issued and funding will be sought from Congress to provide enforcement.


What Trump will find is that following a rule of this kind (the memos only apply to those who have broken the law) will be his undoing (assuming he does not go totalitarian). And he will not be able to understand why.

My understanding is that they don't need to have broken the law


"the memos provide Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents with the ability to effectively target any US non-citizen who has either been convicted of any sort of crime, has simply been accused of a crime, has carried out minor fraud or is, in the assessment of an Ice officer, ?a risk to public safety" "


"The department will now be allowed to target any undocumented immigrant who has been in the country up to two years for ?expedited removal? ? meaning a removal that does not need to be authorized by the court."

A rather unsuccessful Trump protest...


A call was made to boycott Wegmans Food Markets until it stopped selling Trump-branded wines at its Virginia store. ?Let?s demonstrate through economic action that the residents and business owners of Charlottesville will not stand for the hatred espoused by Eric Trump and those like him,? the Stop Trump Wine website reads.


Wegmans Food Markets are now reporting to have completely sold out of Trump wines. They say they won?t have any more for a few weeks until they have a chance to stock back up, so I suppose protest has sort of stopped them selling Trump wine.

Are we at the #DonaldFatigue moment yet


I know he's POTUS and all that, but I'm getting to the 'really' stage here, much like after episode 1 of Grand Tour.


Maybe him in a cage wrestle with Putin, or playing golf with grenades would whet my appetite.


And the Kim Jong-Un death squad kinda out trumped Trump by some measure.


Meh!

Donald's hair is a distraction

I've never considered his physical appearance before but for a 70 year old who is 1.88m tall and president of the USA this pic is apt- if only he had raised his middle finger!

I read that it's likely to be a triple comb-over. So the hair on the upper back the head is left to grow long, and then combed forward. And then the hair from each side of the head is combed sideways and forwards, criss-crossing over the top. He must have someone doing it for him every morning.. it probably takes ages!

Amnesty campaign against new travel ban signed today - Send an e-mail to the White House to protest the ban:


https://www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/donald-trump-new-travel-muslim-refugee-ban?from=issue&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Mass&utm_campaign=Human_Rights&utm_content=Trump_ban_parttwo_v1&utm_campaign=Trump_New_Ban_v1&utm_source=emailCampaign&utm_content=&utm_medium=email


'President Trump's new travel ban goes into effect in just 10-days. Act now to block it. View email online

Fight Trump's Muslim Ban


The day we dreaded is here.



Just now President Trump has signed another Executive Order - banning people from several Muslim-majority countries, suspending the refugee program, and slashing the number of refugees who are allowed into the US when it restarts.



Make no mistake: This new version is just another attempt at a Muslim ban - denying people based on who they are, not what they?ve done.



Let?s fight it with everything we?ve got, just like we did last time.



Tell President Trump to stop this ban and to protect human rights

Email the White House


"This replacement order is the same hate and fear with new packaging. It will cause extreme fear and uncertainty for thousands of families by, once again, putting anti-Muslim hatred into policy. No amount of editing can make this executive order anything but what it is ? blatant bigotry."


Margaret Huang, executive director of Amnesty International USA

Email the White House


This new order is inhumane, short-sighted and against all of our shared values.



That?s why we need to put global pressure on the White House - and we need to do it fast, before more lives are torn apart.



Help us make enough noise that they can?t ignore us.



Stand up for human rights - email the White House now



Thank you for your tireless support,


Laura Trevelyan

Priority Campaign Manager


Amnesty International UK'

You have to laugh at Amnesty. Not 'here's the White House email address - go get 'em', but 'email them via our website (oh, and gives us your mobile while you're at it) so we can hound you for money for the next 200 years or so'.


Never one to miss a fundraising opportunity.

You could also avoid being constantly harassed for said dosh if you just email the White House directly: [email protected]


Though I understand he spends more time on Twitter, so you may have more luck there.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
