  Trump's "alligator Alcatraz"
Posted by: Lilith7 - 02-07-2025, 04:19 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

It will be deep in the Florida Everglades & will house up to 5000 migrants awaiting deportation. A 'low cost facility fortified by Mother nature' is how they're describing it. There's a backlash from immigration rights activists, from environmentalists & the indigenous community.
Migrants will be housed in repurposed trailers & tents. Despite temperatures which can reach the 90s.

An evacuation plan is being developed in case of hurricanes... Dodgy

  Over 170 charities call for end to deadly Gaza aid distribution
Posted by: Lilith7 - 02-07-2025, 03:38 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - No Replies

More than 500 people have already been killed while attempting to get food. Angry

I'd like to see Natanyahu & his govt arrested for war crimes & also the leaders of Hamas. Let them all stand trial & allow peace groups to do whatever they can to fix the situatiion.

  The "tough on crime" nonsense
Posted by: Lilith7 - 01-07-2025, 12:14 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (10)

Every so often one of our delightful govts will decide to 'get tough' on crime, & bring ever harsher penalties. Generally it does gain votes; no one likes crime & no one wants more of it.

And yet statistics show that, by voting foe those harsher penalties, that is exactly what they're voting for. And really, you'd expect politicians of all stripes to be aware of that since surely a part of their job is to check these things.

So in voting for  yet harsher penalties, either those politicians are deeply ignorant - or they're not averse to potentially ruining lives in order to appear 'tough on crime' in order to gain support.

I think its high time that we set about educating high schools pupils & Uni students about the effects of harsher penalties.




https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/news/2023/...recidivism.



"As someone who works in the criminal justice sector, the recent policy proposals by major political parties make we wonder whether politicians are more concerned about appearing hard on crime than they are with reducing criminal offending.
This long-standing punitive approach to crime withstands the plethora of evidence and research that disproves its effectiveness for reducing re-offending. On the contrary, criminal justice experts and statisticians have consistently said harsher sentencing increases recidivism".

  Trump slams Israel's prosecutors, Netanyahu's corruption trial
Posted by: Lilith7 - 30-06-2025, 03:50 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (5)

Netanyahu is the first Israeli PM to be charged with corruption - he claims due to his 'hawkish policies'..

He was indicted in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud & breach of trust, all of which he denies.

  Hungarian crowds defy govt ban on gay pride
Posted by: Lilith7 - 30-06-2025, 03:39 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (3)

Their govt wanted to suppress a gay pride parade & got a reply they weren't expecting because their people recognise the thin edge of the wedge when they see it.

The march proceeded in defiance of the ban because they see it as being about far more than just being gay, but about the right to assemble & protest. Thousands of people joined the march.

Well done the Hungarians. Smile
