Suella Braverman has proven she could not organise a booze up in a brewery, We have people crossing over from Europe in small boats, crossing one of the most dangerous crossings in the world, paying criminal gangs (who make millions) to make this possible. For all the talk we can't seem to find and STOP the criminals behind the smuggling.
These gangs don't care what happens to people, they have their money.
As they have said it won't stop them, sure, BUT this is because we don't have proper alternatives to passage.
We need to be opening proper consulate offices around the world in safe areas, so that those seeking asylum from danger / harm can be processed properly and proritised. We apparently have hardly helped ANY of the brave soles who risked their lives helping the Alles in Afganistan during the war, we have left these people to the mercy of the Taliban, they won't just be arrested and killed they will suffer the most horrific deaths imaginable probably (the Taliban way).
Those escaping war or natural disaster needa safe place to go, they don't want to leave their home country so passage / asylum may be temporary anyway.
Proper processing would also allow families who are split up to hopefully be brought back and kept together as we would hopefully know who people are and can do this.
While I understand the internaltional law statements on asylum seekers, surely someone facing imminent death (just say for helping others) in a country should take priority over a person who is seeking a life paying better wages, so claims should be seen on a case by case basis. I support immigration on humanitarian grounds. The UK has lost track of some of these asylum seekers including children, leaving people at risk of exploitation, criminal gangs etc, and there are just endless excuses and the usual sound byte "lessons will be learned"
Braverman is very good at doing the talk, but when it comes to actual proper action she does nothing useful at all. We need someone in charge of the home office with a huge steel toe boot to kick a few backsides so they start doing their job and not making excuses. It seems we can't even sack police officers who commit offences, what the HELL is going on.

I wanted to take a few moments and apologize to many of my former students.
In the past I said the industry needs people who look at security as a vocation and an avocation.
I was wrong.
Have a life outside of this industry.
Have hobbies that have nothing to do with your computer.
Get outside.
The problems of the industry are not problems of people not working hard enough.
They are not problems of people not being "hard core" enough.
They are problems of education and resource prioritization.
I was wrong.
I am sorry.
Stop breaking yourself on rocks for people who don't really care if you break yourself on rocks.

Agreed, any organisation needs to be transparent regarding funding, this however should start at the top with the governments of countries, as in THEY set the example.

Revealed: Exxon made ‘breathtakingly’ accurate climate predictions in 1970s and 80s
Oil company drove some of the leading science of the era only to publicly dismiss global heating
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/12/exxon-climate-change-global-warming-research
"The oil giant Exxon privately 'predicted global warming correctly and skilfully' only to then spend decades publicly rubbishing such science in order to protect its core business"
The internet will remember this forever too.

Nobody will remember:
> Your GPA
> Your salary
> Your fancy job title
People will remember:
• Your time spent w/ them
• Your experiences w/ them
• Your character & how you treated them
Keep the priorities straight.

If you have any kind of wrist pain or a repetitive strain injury, I highly recommend trying a home TENS unit. It’s not a replacement for lifestyle changes or physical therapy. But I use mine maybe once a month if that and it does wonders for clearing up the occasional issue that would last for days otherwise.

Dear conference organisers,
If you don’t want to limit your speakers to those who are fine with surveillance capitalism, please don’t make your call for proposals require an account with a surveillance capitalist.

Today in 1997, Dollard Menard died. As Lt. Col., he was wounded five times during the Dieppe Raid in 1942 while leading the Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal. Of all the commanding officers, he was the only one who landed at Dieppe to return to Britain after the raid.
