And yes, the concept of imprisoning perceived enemy populations has been occurring for many thousands of years. But do please tell me how this first occurred during British colonial rule in India and Afghanistan. I could do with a laugh. And don't forget to cite your sources πŸ˜‰

Please cite your sources. There is nothing on google books about British concentration camps in Afghanistan during that period. There are over 40,000,000 books on google books. That's a very large library and not one backs your claim. Now please cite your sources.

Concentration Camps were invented by the Spanish Empire in Cuba during the Ten Years War. Concentration Camps were utilised again by Spain in Cuba with Valeriano Weyler's Reconcentration Policy of 1896. This policy is where the term gets its name from.

Reform wants to put public unions β€˜under review’, by-election candidate has said Comments late last year indicate challenges Farage faces in courting working-class voters

Unions enforce your employment rights.
Unions can help if you’re discriminated against or mistreated by your employer.
Reform doesn’t want you to have that help.
They don’t care how badly you’re treated at work.
They’re taking the piss out of you.
You should mind.

John Davidson isn't an actor, he's a Tourette Syndrome campaigner. The BAFTA nominated/winning film I Swear is a biography of his life and how his life has being challenging living with Tourettes and his uncontrollable tics.

the whole bafta situation is insanely complicated, but it's showing me how uneducated people still are about tourettes and disabilities in general. Saying things like "he def meant that" or "if he has that disability he just shouldn't have attenended" is ableism.

*SNP 59 but no list seats yet again*

*The Scot Greens would get 14 more MSPs if 50% of SNP2 voters voted SGP2*
That would be a supermajority
