To date the net cost, for UK tax payer, to bail banks in 2008 is around £33 Billion. In November Rachel Reeves should recoup every penny by taxing banks accordingly. Remember Fred the Shred and his massive pension? He and his banking colleagues are laughing at the nation. Tax them.

Comment by an Israeli in Freedom square today. "I'm proud to be Israeli but the reason they attacked us is because we have not treated Palestinians very well for the last 20 years" The most meaningful and true statement since Oct 7th.

How much of Farage's wealth was acquired from Russia. No doubt in my mind that Brexit was a Putin ideal.

This discussion highlights the need for a definitive, unbiased, history of Palestine since the 1940's. The BBC could make a documentary that would dispel all the recent propaganda and fake news.
