Mediterranean Migration Deaths: 25,000 “Missing” in One Year – 27 Die From One Boat! (14.8.2025)

More than 90 people were aboard the two boats before they capsized, Flavio Di Giacomo, spokesperson for the UN’s International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said.

The island of Lampedusa is home to a migrant reception centre that is often overcrowded with challenging living conditions. It welcomes tens of thousands of migrants who have survived the often dangerous route across the Mediterranean to Europe every year.

Those who make the journey often travel in poorly maintained and overcrowded vessels.

At least 25,000 people have gone missing or been killed while trying to cross the central Mediterranean since 2014, according to the IOM.

British Foreign Office Statement Condemning Israel!

London: 28 Countries Condemn Israel Over “Suffering of Civilians in Gaza”! (22.7.2025)

The statement in question was signed by the Foreign Ministers of the following countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Just “why” so many of these countries are outside the EU (even Europe in the case of Japan) is something of a mystery (although ALL might be said to be allies of the US). Either way, and perhaps ironically, China did not sign – or was excluded from signing – I suspect the latter (as China has been calling for peace since day one – when all these listed countries were busy funding, arming, and politically excusing Israel’s criminal behaviour). A cynical take on statements such as this is that they are issued knowing nothing will be done to help Gaza – and that Israel will continue its brutal land-grab unopposed. Is such a scenario, this type of statement serves as a security measure in case any of the international legal actions against Israel gain any legal traction. Should the Israeli leaders end-up in the dock and answering for their War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity – then the Western enablers of these monsters will be brought to the fore. Being able to produce this rather feeble effort of a statement probably amounts to something akin to a “legal defence” in the mind of David Lammy!

Madleen Freedom Flotilla Board By Zionists!

Gaza: Zionist Act of Piracy – Madleen Freedom Boat Boarded – Final Messages from Crew! (9.6.2025)

I acquired the following data on Telegram. The Israeli Navy has committed an act of piracy on the high seas by illegally stopping, boarding, and kidnapping the international crew. The same governments who are arming and financing the Zionist regime and its “genocidal” policies – are also “ignoring” this latest outrage. Whilst living in the face of fascism – we must resist in any way possible. Hitler had to murder 800,000 ethnic Germans because they dared to resist his Nazi regime. Millions more Germans defected to the enemy – including the USSR. Confronting Israeli fascism is a duty and we must all do our bit – whatever this might entail. Eventually, we must all take our turn on the front line – but at other times we will fulfil a more supportive role in the background. Whatever it is that we need to do – we must do with 100% commitment. Never apologise, never look back, and always advance carrying the Red Flag of freedom!

Alfred Wyles Medals WWII

UK: D-Day 81st Anniversary {6.6.1944-6.6.2025] – Remembering Private Alfred Wyles! (5.6.2025)

The infantry would assault the area from the periphery – and the Glider Troops would protect the centre (as if they had just dropped from the sky). As combat can be fluid and all kinds of emergencies can occur – Glider Troops would also train to assault the area from the periphery – and Infantry would defend the area from the centre. The reality on the ground might involve any contingency being used with flexibility being the key. I am told that this might explain how my grandfather came to possess an Airborne badge. When we were first researching this subject, die to the presence of this badge, we first thought Alfred Wyles had landed at Caen in a wooden Glider (this was in fact “D Company” of the 2nd Battalion [Professional] Ox & Bucks – but were later informed that in all likelihood (there is till a niggling doubt) my grandfather landed on Sword Beach as part of the supporting-infantry. Whatever the case, his official War Record is vague on this point.

Impounded UK Fishing Boat!

France: UK Fishing-Boat “Impounded” – Hindering Migrant Dinghys? (27.5.2025)

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said they had failed to stop thousands of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats, accusing France of “taking no action whatsoever at sea and often ushering the illegal immigrants into UK waters”.

“Yet when a UK fishing vessel is in French waters all of a sudden they are magically able to act. If the French can now intercept boats then they should start stopping the boats with illegal immigrants – as international law obliges them to do.”

The UK and the EU have struck a deal that covers fishing, trade, defence, energy and strengthening ties in a number of policy areas still up for negotiation.

A key part of the deal involves giving European fishing boats a further 12 years of access to British waters in exchange for easing some trade frictions.

Critics from the Conservatives and Reform UK described the deal as a “surrender” to the EU, while the Liberal Democrats said the government had taken some “positive first steps” to rebuilding ties with Europe.

France - Supermarkets Free Food!

France: Email – Free Supermarket Food! (15.4.2025)

It is incredible to think that prior to 2010 in the UK – there had been no food-banks. The rolling back of Socialism on all fronts is creating intense poverty – but chosen incoming groups (not all) are being perceived as receiving preferential treatment – leading to the strengthening of the far-right. The Labour government not only forcibly deported 600 Brazilians (I wasn’t even aware Brazilians lived here as incomers – with some reports stating the number returned to Brazil could be as high as 10,000) but removed (cancelled) the British citizenship of the children born in the UK – so that they could all be deported as families! This is how Kier Starmer dealt with the problem of what the far-right terms “anchor children” – or those children who gain British citizen by being born to incoming parents (not born in the UK). I suspect this is illegal – but it will probably take decades for this to be ruled as such – by which time nobody will be held accountable (like the illegal Iraq invasion of 2003).
