The desperate hands of the global south seek to take back an overheated world. Seriously, what's next? The McHamburglar trophy in gourmet cooking? The Pol Pot Human Rights medal? The Jeffrey Epstein childcare grant? The Vladimir Putin democracy fellowship? The Weinstein-Cosby feminism prize?

Question time fans rage defund the BBC after small boat migrants planted in audience.
The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The βimmigrantsβ are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And itβs this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.
