I carry a UK passport, and I am a migrant. Specifically, an economic migrant, living where my lifestyle is better. Never an Expat....historically the term applies to those who travel to somewhere distant from the UK for employment but expects to return to the UK to retire.

If Trump keeps abusing veterans, does he think the military people who will expect to become veterans one day will simply carry on following 'orders'?

As a migrant to France, yes, pretty much. In our own case, it would be easier to integrate if we were of working age and more exposed to French people. Our biggest interaction with France (bureaucratique) is the health system, guests in our Gite, taxes, weekly shop and trip to the local bar.

Either they've just let 500+ terrorist sympathisers back on our streets or they weren't a risk
Either way this law is not protecting the public and should be repealed

Β£7m of damage with paint sprays? Really? Bet someone is pretty embarrassed they were able to walk in to what should be a secure base. Palestinians need support and the UK government needs to stop helping Israel kill them. People with signs are not terrorists. People with guns and bombs are.

Apart from being tripped up by predictive text, you've pretty much got it there. Cooper is a great disappointment...feels like Theresa May all over again.

Calls for a "huge nationwide wave" of protests in last 48 hours saw about 300 people attend one locally-organised protest in Nuneaton (serious charges in local case) + 19 protests range from 6 peoole (Wolverhampton) with about four more reaching 100-200 people (Altrincham,Canary Wharf)

Total < 2000

Zelinsky cannot legally comply. It's ridiculous. Putin plays dumb as fuck Trump, again.

Β£10 billion wasted because we walked away from working with Europe on energy and the environment.

Add your name to call for a UK-EU partnership that protects our planet and cuts bills.

But your last paragraph is the real point. Neither Trump nor Putin will comply with such a solution. This, like earlier events, is going nowhere.

Israel lobby funded a quarter of British MPs Exclusive: Declassified is publishing the full list of British MPs who received funding from pro-Israel lobbyists.

"Israel lobby funded a quarter of British MPs"

If you wonder why the UK defends the indefensible: always follow the money.
Israel sends its rich and powerful lobby groups and buys politicians all over the US, Canada, and Europe.

This is such a disgrace, it’s almost beyond belief. The Met & other police forces are willing accomplices, sure, but the blame lies principally with Keir Starmer & YvetteCooper MP & this utterly shameful Labour government. They are digging their own grave.

About twice as many people at Solihull Moors versus Forest Greeen Rovers (1568) as at all the anti-asylum protests at Saturday. It was one of a dozen non-league games in the 5th tier of English football.

Many more people at Charlton v Watford today (21,178) than at all asylum protests all summer

This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.
