Grrrr, I'm contacted daily by 'publicity' people offering the world! It's a frustrating waste of time. I had one the other day who got my name correct but someone else's book!

Interesting that most of these ICE agents hide behind their balaclavas!

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Weasel of a man - let's set him off in a boat and declare war on sycophants wearing pink / red ties!

Unearthed 2016 video: Pete Hegseth straight up says US troops will not follow ‘unlawful orders’ from the commander-in-chief, and there have to be consequences for ‘abject war crimes’.

Guess it suddenly gets blurry when it’s Trump issuing the unlawful orders.

If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

A total plonker - encourage young people to work by paying them a fair wage. It's not rocket science, or perhaps it is!

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

Nigel Farage Says Minimum Wage Should Be Cut for Young People
