This & that

The Home Office now stopping people in the street on the basis of their race (& note also that they want to stop benefits/housing for failed asylum seekers with small kids, as well. So we're getting rid of them by starving their children, are we? Fantastic).

And a less depressing link:
the Underground turned upside-down (picked this up off someone else a couple of weeks ago).

Hunt Bill being discussed today. Thumbs crossed...

Interesting site showing current US voting polls - bit depressing atm, though.

I don't think I have any US readers who are currently overseas, or indeed any US readers at all, but just in case: register online for overseas/absentee ballot.

That isn't actually the question, the question would be whether there's a higher probability of someone non-white than white being an illegal immigrant. The answer might well be the same. To judge it, dunno, is it ageist or discriminatory against young-looking people that the truancy squad have the right to stop people who look like they are of school age and ask why they aren't in school?

That's who I was thinking of. I suppose if it is a problem they could just stop a certain quota of pensioners, just in case.
