By WB Yeats
“Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / The ceremony of innocence is drowned; / The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity."
By WB Yeats

Uk's special relationship with US is abusive. We bent our judicial system to hold Julian Assange for years,waiting for US to decide whether to extradite him. US refused to extradite IRA wanted for terrorism acts in GB.They refused extradition in a straightforward case of death by dangerous driving.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.
At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.
Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.
