Illegal migrants should be nowhere near schools, educational establishments or anything to do with children.
They shouldn’t be in the country full stop, but to place these unvetted young men near young boys and girls is reckless, irresponsible and downright dangerous. We don’t know who they are, or where they have come from. It is simply not safe.
These men must be kept away from children.
Not all of them are bad people, but it’s a risk we just cannot take.
This is not racist. This is not far right. This is about safety. Children’s safety.
We need to set up secure detention facilities where these men can be held until their removal can be arranged.
If the facilities don’t exist, build them.
Hospitals sprouted out of the ground overnight for COVID, do the same for the illegals.
Imagine how parents living near one of these hotels feel? Especially those with young daughters? Having these unvetted men roaming their streets?
It's disgraceful. It is NOT safe.
They have broken the law. They are in our country illegally. Detain them, deport them.
But above all else in the short term, please keep them away from children.
A mass mobilization took place at the port of #Piraeus, with hundreds of people gathering since dawn to prevent the unloading of a military cargo destined for the apartheid state of #Israel and its use for the ongoing massacre in #Gaza.
In their call the dockers pointed out that:
"The ship Ever Golden, with its military cargo with final destination Israel, is expected to dock at Piers 2 & 3 of Piraeus on 14 July Monday at 07:30 am. This is cargo that will be used to continue the slaughter of civilians, the bombing of hospitals, schools, children, infants and women. The port of Piraeus is NOT and will NOT be allowed to become an outpost of the #USA, #NATO or the #EU.
Our goal is: to block in practice the unloading and prevent the transport of this deadly cargo. We will not paint our hands with blood, we will not be accomplices and at the same time targets of retaliation."

IOF obviously targets children. Someone in the West got a bit angry (not to much, because they afraid to be under mossad surveillance in the end) and asked about accountancy. No punishments. No, no. Our leaders in the West don't go so far. They leave Israeli soldiers, who are accused by various organisations, to walk free without accountability in the West. Back in the story, Israel answered that killed these children by accident. They call accident the 40% of total casualties in #Gaza.

Walk into a tile shop, and you’ll soon wonder: “Why do some tiles cost so much more than others?” Two tiles might look nearly identical, yet one is priced much higher. Is “premium” just a buzzword from the tiles supplier, or is there a real difference? Let’s break it down.
At first glance, premium tiles and standard tiles might seem similar—same size, same color, same basic look. But their construction is where they diverge. Premium tiles are denser, pressed with more force, and fired at higher temperatures. This makes them more resistant to moisture, cracks, and wear, making them ideal for busy areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or entryways.
Standard tiles can work in low-traffic spots, but they often show wear—chips, cracks, or fading—faster in demanding spaces.
Premium tiles are designed to handle life’s challenges. Their finishes provide better grip on wet surfaces, resist stains from spills like wine or oil, and stand up to scratches from furniture or foot traffic. Standard tiles might look fine at first, but they can dull, stain, or scuff up quicker than expected, especially in high-use areas.
These differences become clear over time, as cheaper tiles start to lose their charm.
Premium tiles are crafted with precision, ensuring each tile is nearly identical in size, shape, and shade. This leads to clean grout lines and a polished installation. Standard tiles, however, can vary slightly from batch to batch, which can disrupt your layout or throw off a pattern, especially in large or intricate designs.
These small inconsistencies can turn a smooth project into a frustrating one.
Premium tiles often come from regions with a rich tile-making tradition, like Italy, Spain, or parts of Turkey, where high-quality materials and strict standards are standard. Standard tiles are frequently mass-produced to keep costs low, sometimes at the expense of quality.
A reliable tiles supplier will be transparent about these differences and help you choose based on your project’s needs. If they push the priciest option without explanation, it’s time to shop elsewhere.
Premium tiles are built to last with minimal maintenance. They resist stains, wear, and fading, keeping their look for years. Standard tiles often require more care—frequent sealing, extra cleaning, or earlier replacement—which can add up over time.
While standard tiles are cheaper upfront, their higher upkeep costs can make them less of a bargain in the long run.
Your choice depends on where the tiles are going. Premium tiles are perfect for high-traffic or wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, or patios, where durability is key. For low-use areas like a guest room or a decorative backsplash, standard tiles might suffice—if you’re okay with their limitations.
Premium tiles feel different—solid, smooth, and well-made. Standard tiles can feel thin or rough, with edges that might seem cheap. These subtle differences affect how a space feels, much like high-quality furniture elevates a home.
Premium tiles aren’t always necessary, but they shine in durability, consistency, and ease of care. For spaces that see heavy use or need to last for years, they’re a smart investment.
A good tiles supplier Singapore will guide you based on your project’s goals, not just the price tag. If they can’t explain the differences clearly, find someone who can.
Tiles are about more than looks—they’re about how they perform over time. That’s where premium tiles consistently come out on top.
