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


This is more 'real/fake' concerning than DT's barnet

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!

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.

    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
    • Best to just get in touch with the council. You need to see what works were approved and the scope.  It's probably advisable to get an independent legal survey (not a standard RICS) and look at current condition, what they said they'd fix, if they did what they said and what the problems are with what they did. Was it just your flat and the other flat mentioned? Asking in case there's any other leaseholder/ tenant involved
