UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays
Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.
www.bbc.co.uk
I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

The Epstein Scandal is the story of the century and don't let any lickspittles or pissants tell you otherwise.
It speaks to everything wrong with the world we have created.
A society built on secrets & lies, using the bodies & blood of innocents as its bricks & mortar… deserves to be demolished.

Juxtaposition.
The UK government might be brought down by the Epstein files. We're now even talking of the Mandelson files.
But the us president - a self confessed sex predator and named extensively in the Epstein files - wants everyone to move on and the US right will let him.

The thing is Elon, money CAN buy happiness, if you know how to use it.
You could have built things for people that needed them, fed the poor, housed the homeless. You could have given something back without asking for anything in return.
Instead you chose to be a petty, nasty, racist piece of shit

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

When a softly spoken story is more powerful than a sledgehammer.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, a digital billboard is pissing off locals at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. Right where tourists are flooding in for the game.
The billboard cycles through three ads comparing ICE to football “defense”.
Paid for by a group calling itself American Sovereignty. 🙄

If you're saying "but they won't..." this or that then you are just telling them ahead of time that all you're going to do is whine about it. Stop accepting their excuses in advance.

Some won’t call Trump a sexual predator. Doing so would force them to admit the institutions they trusted are fundamentally broken. Rotten enough to elevate someone like him to that office.
Denial is easier. Like a child insisting Santa is real, because the truth means the magic was always a lie.

Peter Mandelson is telling the truth on one thing: the idea he was bought for a $4k “bursary” or a $75k gift is ridiculous
The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer
And Epstein enabled that payday
