Wow and double wow.

The Ottoman Empire helped the Irish during the Great Famine (1845–1852), a devastating period of mass starvation and disease in Ireland. Here's a summary of their involvement:
Humanitarian Aid: In 1847, Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire offered to donate £10,000 to help the Irish people. However, due to political sensitivities—especially from the British government—he was reportedly asked to reduce the amount, as Queen Victoria had only given £2,000. The Sultan then sent £1,000 officially.
Additional Support: Beyond the financial aid, Ottoman ships allegedly delivered food and supplies to the Irish port town of Drogheda. While some of these stories are debated by historians, they remain part of local lore and Irish gratitude.
Legacy: This gesture of solidarity is remembered fondly in Ireland. In Drogheda, a plaque commemorates the Ottoman aid, and it has become a symbol of cross-cultural compassion during a time of crisis.
In addition to the monetary donation and the alleged food shipments, the Ottoman Empire’s support during the Irish Great Famine included:
1. Diplomatic Engagement
Sultan Abdülmecid I showed strong interest in helping the Irish people and expressed empathy through diplomatic channels.
He instructed his embassy in London to follow up and coordinate the aid delivery, showing this wasn’t a mere token gesture but a state-level concern.
2. Use of Ottoman Navy Ships (Alleged)
According to Irish oral tradition and local sources in Drogheda, Ottoman ships bypassed British blockades or ports and secretly delivered food aid directly to Irish ports like Drogheda in 1847.
Though historical documentation is limited, a letter from Irish nobleman Lord Drogheda acknowledging the Sultan’s aid is sometimes cited as evidence.
3. Legacy and Commemoration
The connection has been honored in Drogheda, where a plaque commemorates the Sultan's generosity.
A football club in Drogheda United even incorporated the crescent and star of the Ottoman flag into its crest as a tribute.
Irish-Turkish relations have occasionally invoked this event as a foundation of historical friendship.

Here is another pillar of SwineCunt world. Interesting look at Montgomery. He also left his finger prints in Palestine.

There you go my SwineCunt friends, your prayers are answered.

The Taliban is building homes and towns for millions of migrants and refugees who are being deported back to Afghanistan.

In its recently released five-year plan, obtained by The Telegraph, the Taliban said it was “preparing the ground for the dignified and safe return of Afghan refugees”.

Finally some common sense. Because of an allegation of a sexual assault by one person against an asylum seeker they decided to use the planning laws to make 138 people homeless. Lets make it clear here, there was no rape involved. I mean that is as devious as it gets when it comes to Law. As so many people's lives are affected, you would think that the Hotel would be given a chance to apply for change of use for the Hotel so it can house asylum seekers. I also suspect that if these asylum seekers were not housed there the hotel would have closed some time ago. No hotel would revert to housing asylum seekers unless it did not have enough customers to survive.

So what if it is near a school or a shopping centre. These people are innocent till proven guilty. That is the law. Blanket punishment is against human rights.

Here is a hard fact.

What the reality is

The Home Office does not provide mobile phones and iPads to new arrivals because these are not considered a basic need. But sometimes charities and churches may do so, along with basic items like clothes and food - which are not funded by taxpayers. Asylum seekers are entitled to free NHS care while their claims are being processed

The Home Office has a legal duty to provide basic support to destitute asylum seekers while their claims are processed. They are legally banned from working, and so cannot earn money. They receive a very small allowance. If their meals are provided they receive £9.95 a week per person, and if they are in self-catered accommodation their allowance is £49.18.


I mean that is really spoiling them right? Like fuck.

It is time UN move their offices out of America and stopped using the Dollar for International trade.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has revoked the visas of a number of Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization officials ahead of next month’s annual high-level meeting of the U.N. General Assembly, where the groups previously have been represented.

Which is why Michael Caine is such a shite actor and so is Brad Pitt for that matter. When ever Caine is in a film he used the same accent, even when he is laying a Lord, they set the scene he was raised by a cockney family. As to Brad Pitt, fancy playing a Greek man with an American accent.

This is acting.

I had a very interesting morning this morning. Listening to LBC I heard an idiot claiming that people coming on boats could easily go to the British embassy in Paris and apply for asylum there. Even though it was explained to him that it was not possible.

So, I decided to call. Of course the producer has to know what exactly you are going to say before you are allowed to go on hold. Anyway was put on hold for about 5 minutes. Then I hear he has changed the subject to misinformation on Social media so I closed the call.

About half an hour they called me, and asked me if I was interested in making the comment I had said earlier and I confirmed I would and few minutes later I got through.

First I confirmed that no embassy can process asylum claim and I reminded him what Braverman said to a Parliamentary Committee when asked how can people claim asylum outside UK to which she replied they cannot. They have to land on UK soil and then claim asylum and while they are being processed they are legal in UK. I also told him it is not just social media making false claims that asylum seekers are illegal immigrants bit so does mainstream media.

He then asked my why the Tory government did not process asylum seekers so well and allowed over 150,000 people to hang in a vacuum to huge expense to the government. I then told him it was a deliberate act to increase the money spent on asylum seekers so they can get their racists to vote for them believing that only Tory party intends to stop the boats, which of course did not work. Also the problems with asylum seekers also helped the Tories to cover up how well they managed to line their pockets up whilst at the same time casing all the services to deteriorate and of course blame the deterioration on the asylum seekers.

Anyway, he told me "it was pleasure talking to me and our conversation ended.

I guess this was a scam the wealthy on other wealthy people. So the Met decided not to investigate. Perhaps pretending to be a customer buying expensive jewelry to impress investors to invest in the company is not against the law.
Staff at a luxury jewellery retailer were told to pose as customers to trick investors in the UK's biggest diamond scam, BBC Panorama can reveal.

The deception helped diamond dealer Vashi Dominguez get fresh cash from investors to prop up his business, which collapsed in 2023 with £170m of debts.

Those investors lost everything when the Vashi retail chain's promised £157m stock of diamonds was later only valued at about £100,000.

Mr Dominguez disappeared, but both the Metropolitan Police and the Serious Fraud Office have decided not to investigate.

You have to feel for poor Ryland. He is like fish out of water.

He does not have a clue of the asylum seekers but repeats the shit he reads on social media. And repeats it.
Apparently the migrants get free mobiles and and free I-pads. Where the hell is the proof of this.

And then he dives into how they get free NHS service. So what the fuck are they supposed to do if they are sick. They only get 49 pounds a week and if they are given the 3 meals a day, it drops to 9 pounds a week. They are not allowed to work.

There is this shit that claims that they throw their documentation as they reach the boats. What a crock of shit that comes out of Farages mouth and just get picked up as fact.
