Barrot acknowledged failures in the screening process that allowed her entry. “The security checks, carried out by the French services and Israeli authorities, did not detect the antisemitic content,” he said.

I'm not going to try and justify her post, no-one should. She's praising Hitler.... However, France halting the evacuation due to one woman's social media post seems to me like they're looking for an excuse

I'm not sure, but are you confusing ROC with DROC? I know The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the absolute worst when it comes to corruption.

As someone who's worked a bit in ROC I seriously doubt they've got an issue with child soldiers. I don't think they're the rape capitol of the world either. You will meet corrupt government officials at the airports and so, but not even remotely as bad as their neighbour

Bought up and prison labour to take over. Anything else would be very surprising

The removals are a product of the longstanding Safe Third Country Agreement, which requires anyone seeking refugee protection in Canada or the U.S. to claim asylum in the first of the two countries they reach.

I understand why they've had that agreement. However, it should've been obvious for some time now that maybe that's an agreement they should bin? It's blatantly obvious the us don't treat refugees/asylum seekers the way they deserve at the moment

It's a school bus test. Children are easily distracted and may run across the street. Doesn't mean that they deserve to die so Musk can sell poorly regulated cars

Thanks for the link and history lesson

So they asked beforehand if there was space for them, and they were told it was not. They were told by the police to exit the highway, and they did not.

Unless there's more to the story than what the article says, this is some seriously entitled behaviour

Yes we should have some sort of censorship. The vast, vast majority of people understand and see the bullshit these people are peddling. But some don't, and that ends up hurting innocent people. Why the fuck would you argue we should facilitate behaviour like this? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/online-groups-pressuring-youth-self-harm-1.7107885

 

Anyone got suggestions for a good pair of headphones to use in the gym and/or for running? Cannot stand earbuds, have tried several, including very expensive ones and they just don't do it for me.

 
 

I keep getting this image when trying to open a link from dubz.co through football. Anyone got any tips on how to force it to open through Firefox instead?
