Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone โ period.

Rose Dochertyโs latest stunt arrest is a timely reminder that exactly 1 year ago, these men were outside the Glasgow Sandyford Centre, a clinic that offers services to rape survivors, calling women murderers. This was just before there buffer zones came into force. This was the abuse women endured.

Oh my goodness. This sounds like the Green Pastures cult in Co Antrim. They home in on vulnerable people, find out what they're afraid of, what they're interested in, then they shape shift to answer those needs. Encountered them a few times at a friend's house. Rude, entitled power hungry people.

A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldnโt be happening to me, to my family.

50 families in the UK own more than 35,000,000 people.
But immigrants must be the problem.
Get rid of immigrants... nothing.
Get rid of the 50 richest families... double the wealth of half of the UK.
