Gaza needs caravans, not tents. Tents are made of cloth and cannot withstand wind, rain, and floods.

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force

US plans to start checking all tourists' social media
The potential social media mandate being proposed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would apply to anyone visiting, whether they require a visa or not.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.
Enough to power 23 million homes!

If youmust give trains a flag themed livery, it can be done tastefully. The new Great British Railways livery is not it. Why does everything have to be 'Great' British? It smacks of desperation. The livery looks like a GB News studio on wheels. The ScotRail livery is how to do it successfully.
