It's a bit ridiculous that they are dredging up those tweets of fifteen years ago from this woman. I can't see that they are all that bad. The former Tory MP she ousted was whinging like a Labour PC policewoman about the Tweets, which is pathetic. Edwards' groveling robotic apology, complete with that current nonsense buzzword of "communities" is also similarly pathetic.
I am eager to know the context of the tweet "I want these fucking Estonian retards out of my flat now!"

More than 10,000 small boat migrants have arrived in the UK since Keir Starmer won general election, figures show after another 65 made Channel crossing yesterday
More than 10,000 migrants on small boats have arrived in the UK since Labour were elected in July, official figures show.There were 65 people in two boats who made the dangerous journey yesterday, bringing the total since the election on July 4 to 10,024 in 178. This followed a deadly weekend that saw eight people lose their lives and more than 1,000 people make it safely to the UK.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, French officials launched a rescue mission after passengers got into difficulty. Sources confirmed 20 people had been rescued from one boat, with the rest of the migrants continuing toward the British coast. French officials chose not to remove the additional people as it would have posed too great a risk to their safety.
Since the start of the year, 23,598 people in 450 boats have successfully made the perilous crossing. During this time, at least 43 people have lost their lives in the Channel, including 20 in September alone.

Austrian hard-right party WINS election after pledging to close borders and end support for Ukraine
Austria's hard-right Freedom Party has topped the country's national elections, winning the popular vote for the first time in its history.While the party has been in government several times, it's the first time it has won the most votes, having gained the support of 29.1 per cent of electors, according to projections based on more than 60 per cent of the votes counted.
But even with the victory, it is still uncertain that the party will be able to form the next government.
In line with the insurgence of far-right parties elsewhere in Europe, the Freedom Party has seen its popularity soar, fed by voter anger over migration, inflation and Covid restrictions.
Its leader Herbert Kickl, 55, has vowed to transform the country into 'Fortress Austria', slamming the current government's 'failed migration policy' as being to blame for the Islamist terror plot on a Taylor Swift concert.

Harry and Meghan's missing millions: Archewell Foundation didn't declare $4 MILLION on latest tax return - as all eyes turn to Sussexes' upcoming declaration with questions over where money went
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charity Archewell was gifted two grants of more than $6million over the last two years - but both are missing from the charity's latest 990 form tax return, MailOnline can reveal.The discovery has prompted speculation over what has happened to the Sussexes' missing millions, although it is understood Archewell believes its records that only declared $2,000,911 are correct and MailOnline can confirm it is legal and possible the money will appear on the next return.
The apparent discrepancy couldn't have come at a worse time for the Duke and Duchess's beleaguered foundation as it was only given the green light to spend and raise money again earlier this year after charity officials branded it as 'delinquent' and 'not in good standing'.
Now Archewell could be facing another few tense months as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) waits for the charity's next tax return - which may well explain the 'missing' millions donated to the couple's foundation.
Even so, this latest revelation will add to speculation that Meghan and Harry's charity is being propped up by a handful of wealthy donors.

Now FRANCE follows Germany and reinstates border controls due to 'serious threats posed by terrorists and migratory flows' in latest blow to EU Schengen scheme
France is set to ramp up the intensity of border controls with European neighbours amid fears of uncontrolled migration and terror threats just weeks after Germany announced a similar policy.French authorities informed the European Commission last week that its borders with six of its neighbouring Schengen members - namely Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Switzerland - will be reinforced with increased checks as of November 1 for at least six months.
The controls will be applied to travellers entering France via land, sea and air routes from all six nations and are set to expire on April 1, 2025, but authorities have said they could be extended further.
A French government statement declared the checks were introduced due to 'serious threats to public policy, public order, and internal security posed by high-level terrorist activities... criminal networks facilitating irregular migration and smuggling, and migration flows that risk infiltration by radicalised individuals'.
It is the first time France has introduced such controls since the Covid-19 pandemic and could see migrants and unauthorised travellers turned back at the border and those suspected of criminal activity detained.
Under the Schengen Agreement, 29 European countries agreed to abolish internal border controls with the goal of achieving freedom of movement throughout the continent.
Twenty-five of 27 EU member states are party to the agreement along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
However, the Schengen Borders Code does allow member states to introduce 'last-resort' temporary border checks if authorities believe that there is a serious threat to public order or internal security.

I instinctually foresaw these issues when I first learned of the international agreements that the European countries were forming (and that Britain was being cajoled into joining, many successfully) when I was a teenager. The free movement principle of the European Union, Schengen, etc, combined with mass immigration from the third world, particularly the Islamic third world. I knew they would sooner or later have to be compromised, or abandoned completely, due to the civilizational danger they presented, but not before first causing a lot of damage. Like so much 'progress', life would be better if they had not bothered in the first place, but their champions will cling on for so long until the very act of reversing their missteps is itself also damaging.

This wasn't my only takeaway from your comments, however this statement rings so true about so many aspects of our lives...Some things are better left alone, but 'progress' has some people reinventing the wheel trying to improve something that doesn't need any improvement...We've heard it for years, this is broken or that is broken, the system is broken, the courts are broken, immigration laws are broken, everything needs to be new and 'improved' when it doesn't...Financial greed also perpetuates 'progress' and the desire to 'improve' upon things that don't need it and better off without...

Amsterdam's 'black night': Dutch admit they failed Jewish community 'just like WWII' after targeted attacks by 'Arab migrant mobs' on Israeli football fans
The Dutch King Willem-Alexander shared his 'deep horror and shock' over the events in a call with Isaac Herzog, telling the Israeli president: 'We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War Two, and last night we failed again.' Hundreds of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were reportedly 'ambushed and attacked' in the Dutch capital as they left Ajax's stadium following a Europa League match between the two sides. Israelis were reportedly injured in 'hit and run' attacks by 'scooter gangs' according to Mayor Femke Halsema, who labelled the violence an 'explosion of anti-Semitism' and a 'black night and dark day' for the city.(More on the link)

Hundreds of Eastern European murderers, rapists and paedophiles have exploited weakness in visa system to get into UK, police figures show
Hundreds of murderers, paedophiles and rapists from Eastern have gained access into the UK despite having criminal records thanks to 'weaknesses' in the UK visa system.Shocking police figures show checks conducted by the ACRO Criminal Records Office with officials in Romania have found more than 700 cases in the last three years where a suspect in the UK has a previous criminal record for murder, manslaughter, rape or a child sexual offence abroad.
According to data obtained via Freedom of Information laws, ACRO has carried out 317,757 cross-border computerised criminal record checks on foreign people arrested in the UK.
A sample based on five nationalities uncovered 524 cases where a suspect had a conviction abroad for murder or manslaughter, 441 cases of a person with an overseas rape conviction and 592 incidents of child sex offences.
Despite tougher post-Brexit rules that allow the Government to ban any overseas criminals jailed for more than a year, people only have to self-declare that they have not committed any serious crime to secure a visa to enter Britain.
A former senior Border Force and immigration officer told the Telegraph: 'It is a weakness in the current system but it's difficult because individual countries' criminal records databases are not networked.
'Even if they were to be, it raises quite a big privacy issue.' Usually, the foreign crooks' violent histories are only exposed once they are arrested in the UK.

Israel warns its citizens to stay away from Britain over fears pro-Palestinian groups could target events after anti-Semitism at football match in Holland
Israeli citizens have been warned to avoid sporting and cultural events in Britain and Europe following the violence that erupted in Amsterdam last week.Citing intelligence that pro-Palestinian groups plan to target Israelis in several European countries including Britain, France and Belgium, Israel advised its citizens against attending events in which the country was participating.
Examples include a UEFA Nations League fixture between Israel and France scheduled to take place in Paris on Thursday.
In the UK, the annual Jewish Film Festival is due to take place this week.
Israel's National Security Council said that it had intelligence that Palestine groups intended to use protests as a cover for harming Israelis and Jews.
It said that 'terrorists' would exploit mass gatherings 'to maximise damage and the media coverage', the Times reported.
Israelis are urged to avoid identifying themselves in European cities, particularly in areas with a 'large migrant population from countries opposed to Israel'.
Last Thursday, Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were subject to antisemitic attacks in the Dutch capital after the side's clash with Ajax.
The city's mayor Femke Halsema did not hold back her disappointment as she labelled the violence as an 'explosion of anti-Semitism' and likened the scenes to past pogroms of Jews.
She said the city had been 'deeply damaged, the Jewish culture has been threatened.'
Some 800 officers were deployed to tackle the violence, which saw Israel evacuate its football fans from Amsterdam, as police admitted that things got out of control.

Fury in Sweden at video of Syrian asylum seeker pushing widow, 91, down stairs before mugging her
A Syrian asylum seeker is set to be deported from Sweden after a shocking video showed him pushing a 91-year-old woman down a flight of stairs in an attack that is set to reignite the country's debate over migration.Karam Kanjo, 26, was caught on CCTV assaulting the elderly victim as she made her way to her husband's grave on August 29 this year.
Footage showed Kanjo - who entered Sweden during Europe's migrant crisis in 2015 and was on parole after raping another woman - grabbing his elderly victim on a flight of stairs in Sollentuna station, eight miles northwest of Stockholm.
The victim is seen struggling before the pair tumble down the stairs as he grips her necklaces, causing the woman a number of injuries. A witness to the attack is seen running for safety, leaving the elderly woman behind.
After the pair roll to the bottom of the stairs, Kanjo stands up and yanks her chains from her, before calmly walking away and leaving the elderly woman lying on the ground as two female commuters run down the stairs to assist her.
According to court documents obtained by MailOnline, the necklaces were gifts she received more than 40 years ago. When the victim was questioned by police she said she was petrified by the episode and had never experienced violence like that in her life.
Last Monday, he was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison, and was ordered to be deported back to Syria after he was convicted of aggravated robbery, as well as a violation of Sweden's knife laws and a drug offence. On top of this, he has to pay her 93,100 Swedish Krona (£6,700) in damages.
Kanjo, a convicted rapist, has perpetrated at least 19 crimes since he entered the country in 2015, including aggravated theft and attempted aggravated theft in 2018 and 2020.
He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for raping a woman in 2021, but was released on parole with nearly a year of his sentence left.

US will 'CRUSH' Britain's economy if it helps arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump ally warns Keir Starmer after No.10 said it would follow legal obligations
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Prime Minister Keir Starmer that those who follow the ICC's ruling could expect sharp economic consequences from the US. "Any nation or organization that aids or abets this outrage should expect to meet firm resistance from the United States, and I look forward to working with President Trump, his team, and my colleagues in Congress to come up with a powerful response,' he said.(More on the link)
