49,000 migrants invade Spanish enclave in 24 hours

I believe that there’s going to be a big Reform/Farage anti immigration campaign next week to try to boost his profile in the face of falling popularity, before the Clacton poll. You heard it here first - not on X. I’m calling my new channel C as I don’t want the Musk interference.
(Is there any way Binface can be classed as an immigrant given he is from planet Sigma 1X?)

You could be right. This has fallen right into Reform hands and where better to do it than a constituency which is 95% white and with a much higher elderly population that other parts of the country? He's fooled them once although it doesn't matter if he fools them again with all the various agencies on his tail over undeclared and dirty money. Even the DT has turned against him. He's finished.

Ukrainian foreign officials and intelligence monitors reported that pro-Russian networks—including state-backed RT and clone outlets like Pravda—published over 1,500 reports and posts utilizing imagery from the Ceuta border chaos.

Why would they do that? It was orchestrated for sure but at whose request? I suspect these young men were just unwitting pawns in someone else's game.

I got to thinking. How would someone, or an organisation, arrange for 40,000 or whatever the number was, mainly fit[they swam a distance], mainly young men, to all go at the same time.

The same way here in UK someone, or an organisation, can organise a mass demonstration in UK for whatever reason. To celebrate a football team; to protest to the govt. And plenty of young people will go along just for a day out and a laugh.

Most of those were young men- teenagers even. Maybe a social media induced flash mob for a bit of summer fun.

I know we shouldn't let the plebs speak. And god forbid we hear different opinions. For those who need to control, X is a terrible thing.

The arch controller owns and manipulates X, but hey ho. .

I personally think Farage is finished.
Whether he wins in Clacton or not.

I agree. Means we can see for ourselves what's going on rather than wait for an edited version.

Exactly.

The vast majority of posts are just opinion and often, in the case of Reform, deliberate rage-baiting.

Like Honest Bob and Permanently Angry Yusuf here.

No, Bob. No single person has been allowed into mainland Spain as Cueta is outside Schengen and Yusuf being interviewed in front of an empty beach as the vast majority of people had already gone back to Morocco.

I read X with a massive pinch of salt, it’s accurate only perhaps 50% of the time, but sometimes there are scoops before the official news.

I am absolutely delighted about the existence of X.

Whether they understand or not they are filming what's happening on the ground it's upto individuals to make their own minds up. You can see live coverage of what's happening. Lots of bad things on social media but people filming live events as they happen is good I think.

Have the tories and Labour and some of their supporters, fed us a load of lies?

Spain has deployed its Army to directly repel the invasion.

They are using pepper spray.

They are not messing around.

What happened to the ECHR - to which Spain is a signatory?

Even Spain’s far left government is using troops to defend its border using force.

The very thing Tory and Labour governments have told us is impossible.(copied from X Zia Yusuf Reform Party)

Why do they need to confiscate their phones? Thanks to X and Youtube and people filming on their phones and posting on these sites we can see what's really happening in the world today and come to our own conclusions. Governments have tried to hoodwink us in the past with false narratives about immigration etc but we can see with our own eyes thanks to social media what's really happening.

Do people posting on social media really understand what is happening? Do they understand the long and complex history of Morocco and the Spanish territories? I seriously doubt it.

The truth you mean.

Read my post. I meant Reform who posted misleading messages about the event because they love anything like this.

Ooops posted on wrong thread.

I saw a post on Youtube that said 'Don't worry what you look like in photos worry what you look like in Xrays' how true.

That is why I was glad that X got invented.

I don't care whether they just swam round to the next bay, or what their motive was. My point is that within that huge number, including young children, there were bound to be casualties. They were foolish and stupid.
The Alboran Sea can be dangerous due to strong currents from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean mixing together. Idiots.

The Spanish Army don’t mess around. They did a great job getting rid of the majority of migrants who flocked into the enclave.
There’s a lesson in there for Andy Burnham and co.

It's totally beyond me this sort of comment.

Maybe, just maybe one day you or your family will be in a bad situation. I hope not.

There's more to this than meets the eye. How do people feel so confident writing off tens of thousands of others?

These people weren’t in a bad situation.

Yes they acted quickly, nobody was hurt but they were escorted off the premises as it were, over the border again.
I think from what a couple of the young men said it was meant to be fun, but didn’t turn out to be as fun as they hoped.They’ll probably put selfies on tiktok the minute they’re home again.
