"Mahmood’s reform moves away from the idea of integration as a two-way process towards a top-down, one-way demand for assimilation: to be accepted, foreigners must become “like us” and behave better than “us”. Yet there is little clarity about who this “us” refers to, or what values it is meant to embody. Such ambiguity allows policymakers to set shifting and arbitrary standards of belonging"

Labour’s plan for migrants to ‘earn’ permanent residency turns belonging into an endless exam
In this hierarchical system, migrants are kept on extended probation and judged by standards never applied to British nationals.The Conversation

Did Rory McIlroy donate Ryder Cup bonus to homeless charity in Northern Ireland?
Rory McIlroy is just the latest sports star to be the subject of AI-generated stories about donating housing or funds to homeless people.
Dzień dobry, dziś na tapet wrzucamy tajemnicze prezenty dla Prezydenta Karola Nawrockiego i jego rodziny od Rafała Brzoski i Omeny Mensah, o czym donosiła początkiem września Gazeta Wyborcza. Samo wręczenie prezentu Prezydentowi nie jest niczym niedozwolonym. Może jednak budzić kontrowersje, gdy obdarowującym jest wpływowy biznesman, a opinia publiczna nie wie, czym jest ten prezent. Dlatego postawiliśmy rzucić nieco światła na ten temat. O tym, co odpowiedziała nam Kancelaria Prezydenta piszemy na stronie siecobywatelska.pl/prezenty-br… Potem wrzucimy Wam też filmik z komentarzem Szymona Osowskiego.
P.S. Dziś bez Okiem.
