An abandoned bouquet... There must be a sad story here...

You can tell this woman doesn't believe a word she is saying. Imagine having a job that requires you to lie and betray your conscience every day.

I'm not. Followed you for a while on here Jordan, and I'm pretty sure you're a good human.
One with valuable expertise, too.

Reform UK was created to make Brexit happen.

Nigel Farage spent 27yrs promising Brexit would make British people richer.

Now both Nigel Farage & Reform Party officials say Brexit, their main policy, is making Brits poorer.

ANYONE WHO STILL BACKS REFORM IS A TRAITOR TO THE UK!

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. Itโ€™s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what theyโ€™ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. Itโ€™s deeply sinister.

Seeing Trumpโ€™s bullying tactics and blatant disregard for allies around the world, can you imagine how he treated the girls on Epstein Island or the Lolita Express, he would have been absolutely monstrous.
Release the #EpsteinFiles and stop protecting paedophiles.

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our childrenโ€

We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of โ€œsend them out!โ€

No arrests of course.

Amongst those arrested in London for peacefully protesting the genocide in Gaza is this blind person in a wheelchair.

Staggeringly embarrassing and shaming for Starmer.

โ€œShame on you!โ€ being shouted by the crowd.

I was back and forth there in the late 90s (big project connected to the new airport).
An amazing place - not least the food. Some brilliant Indian restaurants too.

Trump has slashed DCโ€™s federal security grant by $20M (44%), the largest drop of any city, while at the same time saying crime in DC is โ€œout of controlโ€, Fox reports. Heโ€™s ordered in more federal law enforcement in what appears to be a rolling takeover.

That's a tight budget, takes some skill to manage on that. What were they charging for hostels?
I remember Interrailing in the late 80s and it was anywhere between about 12 and 40 โ‚ฌ (equivalent) per night, B & basic B (except Munich- very good b'fast)
Venice was the 40 - but so worth it.

I remember standing in Dijon a few years ago looking at an interesting old church.
I became aware of little groups of locals going through an unremarkable little door across the street (well, it was France and 2 mins to noon ๐Ÿ™‚)
Followed them and did not regret it.

The plastic was pulled over our tables if it rained.
All the seafood was live in tanks.
Definitely one of the highlights of some otherwise arduous weeks out there.

When I used to go to Hong Kong we always talked to our local staff about where to go.
A favourite was "plastic city" - a collection of food stalls up on the Gold Coast.
Fabulous local Cantonese food. None of us ever deciphered the bill - but it was cheap enough not to care.

That's amazing! It's great when you get something memorable like that at such a great price.
The trouble with staying in tourist places is you get a pretty standardised tourist menu.

I looked at restaurants in Split and Hvar and they seemed pricey - but not outrageous. And yes, lots of interesting seafood.
Better value in some of the towns on Brฤƒc - but nowhere was inexpensive.
Prices were in โ‚ฌ and the old Croatian currency.

How was the language? Did most people speak some English? I don't recall many communication problems in Croatia.
