Even in death the Israeli government denies Palestinians any human dignity.
This week, Israel returned 54 bodies to Gaza along with 66 bags of human remains, including skull samples. The International Committee of the Red Cross handed them over to al-Shifa Hospital, where forensic teams are now trying to give these Palestinians back their identities.

It includes the best cost of living support package in the UK, while ensuring 55% of Scottish taxpayers pay less income tax than south of the border.

A reminder that half the BBC’s budget is spent in just one town - London.
Compared to England, 🏴 is much more interested in news about our nation. But we are much less likely to turn to the BBC to get it.
And yet we get charged the same licence fee for this public broadcaster, and our Government has no control over it.

Scotland really doesn't rate the BBC's news
Scotland is very interested in Scottish news. But it really doesn’t like using the BBC as the source. Why is this?

I think you mean your favourite administration has repealed any and all legislation that acknowledges the facts, as well as any attempts to combat the crisis they made, in a blatant move to repay those who donate billions to Trump.
You’re welcome.
