Convicted terrorist Staying in a 4 star hotel at our expense Sexual predator Pretend PTSD Wife and kids back in Turkey Not a genuine asylum seeker
An Egyptian asylum seeker who was jailed for raping a woman in London's Hyde Park is a convicted Islamic terrorist, it has emerged.
Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, was found guilty in his absence of being part of a bomb-making cell in Egypt and given a seven-year jail sentence on May 5, 2015.
Abouelela, a member of the radical Muslim Brotherhood movement, escaped from Egypt before being convicted.

The special circumstance is that they needed to find someone to return to France to get the ball rolling so they could say that they'd started.

I hadn't realised until I read on BBC that because people processed in France are already approved for asylum, we can also skip the stay in hotel while waiting for decision.
The special circumstance is that they needed to find someone to return to France to get the ball rolling so they could say that they'd started.
Is it technically possible for the "one in" to be the same as the "one out" after they have gone to the embassy to make a request for asylum?
That would wind up the press.
I don't know, but the thing that the Press will all be searching for most will be the first crime committed by one of the refugees that come in from France under this scheme.

Gold medal, well done
Yes, true nonetheless!
It was conservative government policy to slow down processing and to gain approval to use the foreign aid budget to pay for asylum-seekers temporary accommodation, resulting in a large number of asylum hotels. Someone cynical might suggest that this was done deliberately to create the social problems and public enmity against asylum-seekers.

I think the biggest change was to limit the number of asylum seekers in any given constituency. This was probably done to reduce concern, but in fact made such concern vastly more widespread.
Some juicy gossip from the Telegraph via the Guardian Blog:
"Ahead of the state visit, the Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy (see 10.11am) hosted a party attended by senior rightwing British politicians. In an article for the Daily Telegraph, Gordon Rayner says the event degenerated into a row between the senior Tories over record of the last government.
After [Nigel] Farage, [Marco] Rubio and [Scott] Bessent had left to attend another event, the Tory big beasts and a smattering of Reform bigwigs sat down to an evening of dinner and civil war.
[Boris] Johnson, [Liz] Truss, former transport secretary, Mark Harper, and broadcaster, Andrew Neil, argued about the Tories’ record in government, particularly on immigration, and what the future direction of travel should be.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, who could be regarded as the current standard-bearer of uniting the Right, (he even attended the Reform conference this month), tried and failed to argue that they should all work together for the good of the country. Reform members smiled wryly as they watched the Tories tear lumps out of each other.
There is a lot of talk in the UK at the moment from people how think the right can only win the next election if the Conservatives and Reform UK can somehow work together. The former Tory minister Steve Baker said only this week he thought some sort of deal was unacceptable.
But Rayner suggests that will be difficult. Referring to Boris Johnson, he quotes a “senior Reform figure” as saying:
[Johnson] elicits a visceral emotion in our members. One of the most consensual opinions among Reform members is that he was a disaster, and has already claimed the title of the man who ended the Conservative party’s chances of ever regaining power.
If we let him join Reform, there would be an exodus of 99.9% of our members."
Why would they put themselves through this? Rather than just ignore it?
It does seem somewhat beneath them to even get involved, but will be rather amusing when Candace Owens is ordered to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars.

I hadn't realised until I read on BBC that because people processed in France are already approved for asylum, we can also skip the stay in hotel while waiting for decision.
The annoying bit is that I think most of us would accept 25,000 approved asylum seekers preferring the U.K. to France in exchange for reducing the incentive to come by boat by returning those who arrive by boat.
Heck that’s probably the best solution, do a deal with France where we accept x0,000, even 100,000 of their asylum seekers and return anyone arriving here back to France and say please apply there

The French could just wave through anyone applying and saying 'Royaume Uni S"Il Vous Plait' and we will have zero input into who comes here. Only works if we have immigration officials in France at the processing centre
Why would they put themselves through this? Rather than just ignore it?
It’s a pretty horrid rumour and so I can understand why they might just say “fuck it, we can prove it’s a nasty lie” and shut it down.
It's the sort of lie that's quite hard to shut down, as people want to believe it or like shitposting about it, as we've sadly seen on here. Even if they provide 100% incontrovertible scientific evidence, people will query it, say it's faked, etc, etc. Because the lie is more interesting, and harmful, than the truth.
But even so, it's probably worth them doing it for everyone else.
ISTR even after the McAlpine lies were exposed, some people continued to believe them. And even after his legal wins.
Incidentally, one of the few nice things about politics atm is that we don't get to hear about either of the Bercows. They seem to have vanished into deserved obscurity.

But this government has been in office over a year now.
I entirely understand that turning around a giant lumbering vessel like the Home Office is not a speedy process, but what are the signs they are actually getting to grip with it ?
This is a bit like Trump saying it's still Biden's economy.
By now you’ve probably seen @Waymo ’s stunning safety results (like 91% fewer serious crashes). But they didn’t just publish data headlines. They released the raw CSV files and data dictionaries. I did a much deeper analysis. A fascinating story emerges when you analyze how they’re achieving this.
This isn’t incremental improvement - it’s categorical. We’re looking at the potential elimination of traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality.
The intersection breakthrough: Waymo has essentially solved intersection crashes, with 95% fewer injury incidents than human drivers in the same locations. That’s transforming the deadliest driving scenario.
The national math: If every US vehicle performed like Waymo, we’d prevent 33,000-39,000 deaths annually and save $0.9-1.25 trillion in societal costs. Even partial adoption at 27% would save ~10,000 lives per year. In terms of magnitude, this would be the equivalent of eliminating every pedestrian death nationally in a year.
The physics signature: Here’s what fascinates me: 47% of Waymo’s contacts involve less than 1 mph delta-V. They’re not just avoiding crashes; they’re converting unavoidable incidents into gentle bumps. It’s like having physics itself on your side.
Sultanas name is not on Corbyns letter, she had joined the independent alliance so shes presumably lost the whip that doesn't exist from the party that isnt for promoting a website that is verboten to followers who weep
Interesting that Sultana isn't mentioned on the post urging people not to sign up.
Right pear, arent' they? I'm sure there are raisins, etc, but it looks a bit like they cherry-picked the key figs to sign the papaya datement after some mango, "Oh no, this is bananas"

The rape happened in November last year, 4 months into this government.
I think there has been an improvement in resolving asylum applications.

Yes I heard that and thought that was not something Starmer would want to hear, especially with his problems with the farmers
Looks like this a coup against the Geriatric and Gaza bros. Sultana gets to keep all the data and subscriptions and Corbyn and co will be locked out if they don't get on board
Makes sense. NVidia's CPU efforts are restricted to ARM compatible cores and have gone nowhere, Intel's graphics and AI products are little better. The money involved is big for Intel, but pocket change for Nvidia.
Tile-based chip designs make it much easier to just drop in a GPU tile, integration becomes a packaging issue not a design one.
It also demonstrates how terrified both Intel and NV are of AMD's Ryzen AI system-onna-chip designs. If AI does take off the way NV wants it to and PCs/laptops become primarily a way of running LLMs those big SoCs are the thing to have, but NV and Intel have nothing competitive and no near-term way of changing that.

OK, so let's assume (reasonably enough) that the Jezbollah/Sultana vehicle doesn't take off. They were polling some 10% of the vote before they were even established - what's going to happen to those (mainly young) voters now? Where do they go? Starmer's Labour Party? Polanski's Greens?

No i'd prefer neither situation. I certainly don't want to accept French jurisdiction over who gets asylum here. Its not a binary choice though

Neither, bring back the Rwanda scheme and deport all arrivals either to their home country or to a safe third country like Rwanda. Watch the arrivals stop within weeks.

Others are polling 4 or 5%, maybe 2 or 3 above trace levels in most current polling. They will remain as 'Gaza Indies' or disintegrate into noise if no fruits. However tge founding conference is booked and happening, one faction or the other will take it forward if no rapprochement

Depends who you listen to. Sultana is claiming it's a counter-coup to stop the sexist boys club from concentrating control of all the data and money into the hands of a single woman: Karie Murphy.

I think more importantly it puts downwards pressure on TSMC pricing if the Intel/Nvidia partnership is successful as it will push Apple, Qualcomm, AMD and others to consider Intel as a serious option for a fab partner where they currently don't. There were rumours last month that Apple and Nvidia were testing on 14A, I assume this deal with Nvidia will be for 14A wafers so I wonder whether Apple will also sign on the dotted line for 14A wafers, there were rumours that Apple were looking to bring some of their image processing in house rather than buy from Sony.

It may change, but Intel has been a terrible partner for third-party chip designers in the past, when they've tried it. Their entire business model is against it, despite recentish attempts to implement an internal and external foundry model, and historically they did lots of (ahem) interesting things against the entire fabless semi model.
From what I've heard, there's also a problem with tools: they need the likes of Cadence and Mentor/EDA to *publicly* support their processes, and will need to release lots of interesting info on their processes.
Finally, it's the fact Intel continually muck up their newer processes. Until they fix that, they're screwed.

An Egyptian asylum seeker who was jailed for raping a woman in London's Hyde Park is a convicted Islamic terrorist, it has emerged.
Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, was found guilty in his absence of being part of a bomb-making cell in Egypt and given a seven-year jail sentence on May 5, 2015.
Abouelela, a member of the radical Muslim Brotherhood movement, escaped from Egypt before being convicted.

Whole process from sending out taxis for them to years in 4* hotels and then letting any tom dick or Harry stay and giving them houses , benefits etc etc and then let them pour extended families in. An idiot could not make it up.

Three people have been arrested on suspicion of spying on behalf of Russia, the Metropolitan Police has said.
A 41-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman were arrested at an address in Grays, Essex, the force said. A 46-year-old man was arrested at a separate address in the same area.

You can tell Mr Starmer is a lawyer - he's chewing a whole swarm of wasps without breaking his flow.
"It's all about leaders who like each other."
OUCH.
Someone cynical might suggest that this was done deliberately to create the social problems and public enmity against asylum-seekers.
Is it at 2.30?
Where is his self respect
And Trump on signing the business deal said

If the deal's no good I'm blaming you'

But given that it is complete BS, could she potentially back down and apologise?
They did take legal action against the French vloggers from whom she took the story.

I entirely understand that turning around a giant lumbering vessel like the Home Office is not a speedy process, but what are the signs they are actually getting to grip with it ?
This is a bit like Trump saying it's still Biden's economy.
Oh, wait a minute...
Actually, perhaps not...
As a neurosurgeon I care a lot about road safety.
By now you’ve probably seen @Waymo ’s stunning safety results (like 91% fewer serious crashes). But they didn’t just publish data headlines. They released the raw CSV files and data dictionaries.
I did a much deeper analysis. A fascinating story emerges when you analyze how they’re achieving this.
This isn’t incremental improvement - it’s categorical. We’re looking at the potential elimination of traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality.
The intersection breakthrough: Waymo has essentially solved intersection crashes, with 95% fewer injury incidents than human drivers in the same locations. That’s transforming the deadliest driving scenario.
The national math: If every US vehicle performed like Waymo, we’d prevent 33,000-39,000 deaths annually and save $0.9-1.25 trillion in societal costs. Even partial adoption at 27% would save ~10,000 lives per year. In terms of magnitude, this would be the equivalent of eliminating every pedestrian death nationally in a year.
The physics signature: Here’s what fascinates me: 47% of Waymo’s contacts involve less than 1 mph delta-V. They’re not just avoiding crashes; they’re converting unavoidable incidents into gentle bumps. It’s like having physics itself on your side.
We’re not talking about marginal safety gains. The data represents a fundamental shift from harm reduction to harm prevention.

Sultana is suggesting Jeremy Corbyn is a “right wing bad faith actor”
Meanwhile collecting direct debits from Your Party members, which Corbyn now taking legal advice about
Unless she’s been hacked this is genuinely hilarious

Right pear, arent' they? I'm sure there are raisins, etc, but it looks a bit like they cherry-picked the key figs to sign the papaya datement after some mango, "Oh no, this is bananas"
I think there has been an improvement in resolving asylum applications.
These are April 2024 figures, but showing signs of improvement even then.
Tile-based chip designs make it much easier to just drop in a GPU tile, integration becomes a packaging issue not a design one.
It also demonstrates how terrified both Intel and NV are of AMD's Ryzen AI system-onna-chip designs. If AI does take off the way NV wants it to and PCs/laptops become primarily a way of running LLMs those big SoCs are the thing to have, but NV and Intel have nothing competitive and no near-term way of changing that.
Its not a binary choice though

However tge founding conference is booked and happening, one faction or the other will take it forward if no rapprochement
Rep Wes Hunt (R-Texas) asked Kash Patel about Matthew Thomas Crooks who attempted to assassinate Trump in Butler.
Patel says he’ll answer questions after the trial.
Crooks was shot dead by the Secret Service on site.

That name seems familiar from Corbynist history, but I forget the details.

NEW THREAD
Zarah Sultana has now accused Corbyn of leading a "sexist boys' club" and "sidelining" her from official Your Party accounts
So she went ahead and launched a membership portal, collecting fees along the way, without telling him
And now there is a full-scale lefty war

From what I've heard, there's also a problem with tools: they need the likes of Cadence and Mentor/EDA to *publicly* support their processes, and will need to release lots of interesting info on their processes.
Finally, it's the fact Intel continually muck up their newer processes. Until they fix that, they're screwed.
Pass the sick bag, Alice.
