EU and other countries have been fully aware of the push / pull factors from poverty ridden corrupt countries and conflict areas with people attempting to enter the EU for years, if not decades, Due to ill-advised foreign policy decisions, squabbling, complacency and all the other 'reasons' we have the situation we see today. It is well past due people stopped laying all the fault at the feet of the asylum seekers, no matter their status, the 'blame' lays with governments.
Tell it to Tunisians or Europeans with Tunisian roots settled in Europe who spend their yearly summer holidays in their homeland.

The reality is
Yes I know, yes you're right, but as our asylum laws are effectively abused by people who de facto sponsor smugglers and their criminal trafficking, I'm in favor of at least taking something out of any situation we actually don't control to the benefit of people risking their lives against smugglers and other criminals.

Naaa just trash it, Banksy isnt an artist, hes an activist thats all, a given permission to graffiti what he does, do you really think the authorities dont know who he is ? The fact hes not charged with defacing others property and is a mystery man in a land of CCTV just shows he has permission. Interests make big a deal about it as art so he can do it and his sponsors make some good cash.. Banksy like the boat is a SCAM.. as are most all "modern art" peddlers. Its all trash
Sell it at the highest possible price, then give the money to police orphans fund

"Why Billionaire Brexiteers Dyson And Ratcliffe Can’t Commit To Building Cars In Britain; With both billionaires seeing Brexit as an opportunity, they forged grand, albeit different, plans following the U.K. vote to leave the E.U. in June 2016. Both plans involved cars and a restoration of the U.K. as a motor manufacturing powerhouse. Both were hugely ambitious and driven (literally) with real entrepreneurial zeal. However, by 2020 both plans have, in different ways, been grounded on the rocks of reality as Britain and Britain’s best businessmen find going it alone harder than they first thought."
And NO, Brexit hasn't begun yet

It seems very strange to me, while having been documented through the years and yet can somehow, still be denied, that it ever happen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane_massacre
"Holocaust denial is an especially pernicious form of antisemitism. Claims that the Holocaust did not happen imply that the idea of the Holocaust is a myth created by Jews for their own ends. Holocaust denial is therefore not the expression in good faith of a legitimate interpretation of history; it is designed to engender hostility against Jews, and is insulting and offensive to Jews, other victims of the Holocaust and all who value truth and the lessons we can learn from history."
Introduction part of this document related to the UK but valid for France too and for the same reasons in France, Holocaust-denial is a criminal offense

An interesting account of the achievements of "We build the Wall" ????
https://www.texastribune.org/2020/07/12/texas-border-wall-private/
Yes, very interesting: How Trump supporters finally "made him look bad".. and how his Administration awarded the builder a $1.7 billion contract to build more walls.
Trump says he disagreed..
Trump says he knows "nothing" about the project

don jr. is on videotape endorsing this bannon-led wall-athon.
He is now saying he didn't really know what it was about.
'What you guys are doing is amazing': Donald Trump Jr. spoke at an event for Steve Bannon's 'We Build the Wall' group, which federal prosecutors say defrauded donors out of millions
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-jr-was-guest-fundraising-event-group-bannon-arrested-2020-8
"This is what capitalism is all about. This is private enterprise at its finest. Doing it better, faster, cheaper than anything else. What you guys are doing is amazing," Trump Jr. said at the time, per the El Paso Times."
"A Facebook page run by the founder of the group in December 2019 ran an ad promising autographed copies of Trump Jr.'s book in exchange for donations."

No professional psychiatrist would make a diagnosis without personally talking to the person involved. "Charlatans" comes to mind if they are prepared to overlook their professional obligations, and being struck off would be appropriate.
and so what was the reason to have Trump passing the MoCA ?

No need to be vulgar, and uncouth to point to the truth that hurts, and this is something Trump very well understands to be out of his reach, he is most effective showing off his inner ugliness

Congratulations.
I'd suggest you to stay indoor, in a place with people you know but where nobody smokes, for 2 more weeks, live in a total smoke free environment.
Don't stay alone, Because then it's too easy to break the rule. It must be a place where you wouldn't feel comfortable to smoke, or even think of.
Don't go out shopping, don't go out at all. Don't even speak about smoking / non smoking.
Anytime, you feel the need, drink a glass of fresh water, read books, stay in bed, whatever...
I quit smoking this way, it took me 2 weeks and never smoked again, it was 14 years ago!
You can make it, you'll feel free.

Had I been able to I would have voted for Bernie over Trump.
Given that this thread isn't about me can we stop asking me personal questions?
I didn't ask you anything personal, you alone brought up the details of your vote, and FYI, here are Bernie's :
Bernie defends Harris
"“A lot of my supporters are not enthusiastic about Joe Biden. You know why? I ran against Joe Biden,” Sanders said. “But I think there is overwhelming understanding that Donald Trump must be defeated, Biden must be elected. And that the day after he's elected we're going to do everything we can to create a government that works for all of us and not the 1 percent and wealthy campaign contributors.”
Sanders will speak Monday night in support of the Biden ticket at the Democratic National Convention.

Trump, IMO, was a response to the corruption in Washington, whether he was an ideal candidate or not. If he comes across in a manner some do not like, it is because he is, IMO, not a suave creature of the swamp that speaks nicely and exploits the populace without mercy. You may not have noticed, but he comes across like normal, working class person. I certainly identify with him more than some political person that has never done a real job in their entire lives, but dresses nicely and bribes voters with their own money to keep them in the style they think they are entitled to. Beats doing a real job.
And then your final decision to swing your vote from Sanders to Trump is grounded on how the final nominee's appearance - according to your standards - resonates with yours?
And now you understand why the most beautiful girl in the world isn't the one who wins the contest...

Are you saying that Westerners should meddle in Islamic countries internal affairs against political Islam?
This has been a failure repeatedly.
What Westerners have to do urgently is to fight against political Islam on western soil.
