    This was the inbound check at Amsterdam on Wednesday. The French are just being ‘French’ and are to be ignored. Stop blubbing, it’s your own fault for not spending your holidays in our beautiful Isles

    Dover: sympathy for all the people stuck on coaches for hours. The UK asked for an European Union external frontier, similar to the hard borders the EU has with Russia and Turkey, to take effect in Kent, with every British passport inspected and stamped https://independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/dover-folkestone-travel-brexit-port-b2131620.html…

    Guess it depends if you prefer the opinion of experts or a GB News journalist who makes a living telling right wing simpletons what they want to hear.

    In a series of tweets, Muller also branded the Conservative Party “racist and elitist”, campaigned for Jeremy Corbyn and said “I hate this country” in a row over free school meals.

    The 25-year-old, who grew in popularity on TikTok, was chosen by BBC bosses in partnership with management company TaP Music in the hope that she could win the contest on May 13.

    While former Prime Minister Johnson remained in intensive care for a third day at St Thomas’ Hospital in London on April 8, 2020, Muller wrote a tweet saying: “Unpopular opinion but I do not feel sorry for Boris Johnson.

    “Yes, he is human, yes, he has kids, but so do 100s of other people who have actually died due to Tory policies. Taking up a bed in intensive care but you’re not on a ventilator and in ‘high spirits’? Nah mate.”

    In a second tweet, she said: “The same nurses you praise in your speeches are the same nurses you chose to cut all their benefits, and cheered while doing it.

    “The same nurses that can’t even afford protective wear, and are literally dying because of you. Boris does not have my sympathy and never will.”

    The previous night saw Downing Street describe Johnson as “stable” and “in good spirits” as it was confirmed that he did not have pneumonia and was not on a ventilator – but would remain in intensive care “for close monitoring”.

    Ahead of the 2019 general election, the singer tweeted “f— the Tories” as she backed Jeremy Corbyn.

    Adding: “Please register to vote today! And when you do vote please vote Labour! We have the power to take these racist elitists down so let’s do it!”

    After Johnson won the election, she tweeted again saying: “f— Boris”, and when he tested positive for Covid she quoted his previous comments about shaking hands with Covid patients to say: “LOL life comes at you fast Boris.”

    Lee Anderson, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, criticised the Eurovision entrant's “vile Left-wing slurs” and accused the BBC of a lack of “common sense” for choosing her to represent the UK.

    Boris Johnson was treated at St Thomas’ Hospital in London in 2020

    PA

    “It’s starting to look like vile Left-wing slurs are actually something the BBC requires from people it wants to promote," the MP for Ashfield told the Telegraph.

    “You’d think after the Lineker fiasco they’d have used some common sense but it just goes to show they don’t care. And why would they, given the licence fee?

    “If they think by planting their own Left-wing entrant into Eurovision will see us re-enter the EU at some stage then they should think again. The days of ‘making our mind up’ are done.”

    The Eurovision rules state that the contest is a “non-political event” and that no “organisation, institutions, political cause or other cause, company, brand, product or service” should be promoted, featured or directly mentioned during the event.

    It is understood the BBC plans to take no action over the tweets because they were posted online before her engagement with the broadcaster over Eurovision.

    Brexit no longer reversible as UK joins Indo-Pacific trade bloc, expert says

    A former trade adviser has warned that Brexit cannot be reversed as Britain becomes the first country to join an Indo-Pacific trade bloc.

    Brexit supporter Shanker Singham, CEO of Competere and an academic fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, called the trade agreement a “huge event” for the UK and a “triumph” for negotiators.

    When the trade partnership was first proposed, there were “howls of derision,” according to Mr. Sanham.

    Britain will join the Indo-Pacific trade bloc, becoming the 11th Pacific region country to do so.

    It will join the Trans-Pacific Partnership Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement (CPTPP).

    The negotiations are now “complete,” and Britain’s accession to the CPTPP is “all agreed [and] confirmed.”

    He described it as a shield against Chinese market distortions that harm the global economy.

    The CPTPP accounts for 13 percent of global GDP as well as 15 percent global trade, according to former BBC host Andrew Neil.

    The trade bloc amounts to a $10trillion market.

    Mr Singham welcomed the news, stating that the move means the UK will be unable to “rejoin the EU customs union.”

    “Admission to the partnership would be a huge event for Brexit Britain and would not have been possible within the European Union,” he wrote. Following accession, the UK would be unable to rejoin the EU customs union.”

    “Accession would be a huge victory for UK negotiators, particularly the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Business and International Trade.”

    “It would mark the point at which Brexit could not be reversed.”

    Because people were afraid to point out and prosecute such vile, disgusting deeds for fear of having the likes of Bracknell accuse them of racism.

    The vast majority of child sex offences are by white men. Dog whistling doesn’t achieve anything but splitting us further and risking the safety of innocent people.
