Dear Mr Farage, you stated during the Brexit campaign that we, bloody forrins, were responsible for traffic jams on British roads.

As it happens, I mostly work from home but you're against this now.

So, what do you prefer, me working from home, and being "less productive" or causing jams?

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Note the framing here:

It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”

I wonder if the Home Office has considered it could just accept the judgement of the court and stop dying on this terrible, pointless, vote-losing hill?

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Retailleau qui cible l’Etat de droit, ce n’est pas qu’un coup de com’ pour lancer sa campagne.

Chez lui & ses amis, c’est une vraie conviction visant à détruire toute limite qui bloquerait leurs idées réactionnaires. Comme les trumpistes.

D’où sa dangerosité.

Et puisqu’il faut se répéter :

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

What next, is the Tony Blair going to help Tories and/or Reform beat Labour at the next election?

Or maybe ask the UK to surrender to the new US diktat that climate change doesn't exist?

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

Nearly slept 7 hours last night but after 2 nights of very poor sleep, my body is telling me to go to bed.
No such luck.

But Mr Farage, if I was forced to work from the office, I would have had to take 3 days off this week.

Would this make me more productive?

With the ever growing number of conspiracy theories turned into actual policies by the US administration, I am surprised they have not yet adhered to the "idea" that virus don't exist and are in fact exosomes (see X "researchers" for details)

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
