WELCOME TO THE UK DONALD TRUMP πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

The British public welcomed him with THIS gigantic banner right outside Windsor Castle where he is staying with the King this week.

Paid for by 1770 members of the British public.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

STOP APPEASING FASCISTS.

Just sums up everything wrong with this government's approach at the moment, encouraging division rather than finding ways to bring the vast majority together.

This review is bang on. It’s a beautiful novel, which is crying out to be read again. The rich detail and amazing imagery is so densely packed that I’m sure my first reading has skimmed past a huge amount of connectivity, wit, and general awesomeness.

Nigel Farage says Glasgow is the β€œasylum capital of the UK” β€” housing 50% more β€œillegal” migrants than any other area. Ferret Fact Service dug into the numbers. The verdict? Mostly False.

It comes amid a Scottish Government investigation into governance at the quango, which is responsible for the upkeep of hundreds of sites across the country.

ANALYSIS
Is it time for gunboats to help stop the people smugglers?
With the PM's and Labour's poll numbers tanking as the latest official figures confirm the numbers of migrants and small boat crossings are increasing at a shocking rate, is it now time for a different approach?

"The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted, would be marked by global capital being unable to expand and generate profits at former levels. Capitalists would begin to consume the government along with the physical and social structures that sustained them. Democracy, social welfare, electoral participation, the common good and investment in public transportation, roads, brudges, utilities, industry, education, ecosystem protection and health care would be sacrificed to feed the mania for short-term profit. These assualts would destroy the host."
