Thousands wrongly face Home Office sham marriage investigations | openDemocracy (Me: Tory hatred of immigrants is unlimited and harms all of Britain)

The checks often involve couples being hauled into immigration centres and grilled separately about the details of their relationship.

Registry offices flagged 107,432 cases to the government between 2016 and 2022. But records obtained by openDemocracy show only 1.2% (1,319) were actually found to be sham marriages.

Experts have warned the system is just another example of the Home Office’s “hostile environment” and say the automated system it uses to triage referrals could be discriminatory.

A Handful Of Shrapnel

The Twisting Tail

The word experience is like a shrapnel shell and bursts into a thousand meanings.

George Santayana

A pocket full of
Disorder
Sawdust is my eyes
Cotton wool
In the ear canal
The truth as a disguise


Went for a
Cat nap today
Woke up
on the roof


I dangle my feet
Over the edge of Europe
Customs dictate trouble


My New Thing:
Asking bald men if the carpet matches the drapes


The only way to
Stall the downfall

Is to control
The rabbit hole


Senryü: louder than words

I understand now
listening to myself chew
why I sit alone


I dug the bullet out
But another will grow
The shrapnel
Is hereditary


The word shrapnel comes from the man who invented it back in 1784, Henry Shrapnel, the first British lieutenant of the British artillery who was experimenting on how to make ammunition deadlier.


Well…
that’s out of the ordinary

The European Parliament has approved legally enforceable goals to rejuvenate deteriorated natural regions within the European Union. This landmark legislation, known as the EU Nature Restoration Law, marks the first significant step taken in the past three decades to safeguard biodiversity in the EU. Despite facing fierce resistance from conservative and right-wing parliamentarians supported by industrial farming advocates, the law was passed.
