Extraordinary I have to write this.

The Roma are human too.
The Roma have rights too.
The Roma have been persecuted for centuries.
The Roma were the last enslaved people in Europe.
The Roma are last whipping boy IN Europe - on BBC this lunchtime people being openly discriminatory.

Charles is following an important tradition – keeping Canada out of America’s hands As Donald Trump rants about a 51st state, the King’s successful visit to Ottawa has reminded the world that he is Canada’s monarch – and no amount of posturing by the US president can erase that royal...

Charles’s historic stopover, he was careful not only to embolden his own country’s sovereignty but also to underscore the “vitality of our constitutional monarchy…’ Small wonder Charles made the effort to cross the Atlantic.

Protecting Churchill is to miss the point, writes Tessa Dunlop It will soon become a criminal offence to climb on Winston Churchill’s outsized statue.

@tessadunlop.bsky.social's 'Lest We Forget: War and Peace in 100 British Monuments' is so good on the contested nature of memorials and memorialisation.

45.1% Simion ( far right)

But that does not include the large diapsora vote. More likely to be in favour of Simion.

Good luck Romania

I do have a pic of him. But decided not to post it

It’s called harassment and it IS illegal.

And I am 50 not nearly 50.

Emotions are running high.
