If the demented anti-Zionism of the British and Continental media these last four years ever had a point, it doesn’t now, when you’re in the early stages of the Israelification of Europe — and, in one of fate’s better jests, in this scenario you’re the Jews. Nicely put.

"This silly passport stamp was introduced after 9/11, in the wake of concerns about ‘asylum-seekers’, and it’s a classic example of what you get when you opt for a narrowly drawn law-enforcement approach entrusted to a complacent bureaucracy: rather than do anything about immigrant welfare fraud, they’ll simply order up a new rubber stamp that gives the vague air of doing something about it." Pure nonsense, typical agitprop. 1) I have a stamp(from Leeds) in my US passport from May 13, 1998(and 5 later stamps from Stansted and Manchester) that says "EMPLOYMENT AND RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS PROHIBITED". 2) A case of beer says that Somalis have the same stamp in their passports if they're "fancypants" Somali "business travellers in town for less than 24 hours and splashing a ton of hard currency around the West End". Probably have that stamp if they aren't. "But the point is, by designating something as other than a war, you tend to make it peripheral, and therefore loseable." More agitprop. Did the US lose the Vietnam "War"? Is the US losing the "war" on drugs? or that on poverty? What is the source for this?
