ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

In English it's
It's all Greek to me

In French
C'est du chinois
(It's Chinese)

In Italian
Per me è arabo
(It's Arabic to me)

What do the Greeks say? I can't remember the German expression.

There are a lot of these 'sadly we're having to close our business' scams. On Facebook a lot.
Avoid.
Goods never arrive or Goods are substandard and it costs at least £20 to return them.
Warning:
Norrloom are advertising their sweaters on MSN and other websites with a claim they are closing down in the ad.
They appear to be a scam. Sweaters come from China with very similar design available from TEMU for a third of the price.

BBC News cover claims of Nigel Farage's racism

"One Jewish pupil said he was targeted by Mr Farage, who would tell him: Hitler was right and gassed them"

"Another public who was non-white was told to go back to where he came from"

Labour needs to learn the lessons from putting VAT on private school fees.
A clear policy, a well argued case and faced down critics. That's the way forward not surrendering at the first smell of cordite.
Labour has a stonking majority. Use it.

The ‘where are they now?’ chaser to Farage’s schoolboy racism..
“He inspired the country on a tide of xenophobia to leave the EU, a decision that most of the country regrets or outright hates, and.. went abroad to get a standing ovation from the German far right”

Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

Bossy headline from The Times letting Farage insist his “Hitler was right” racism was just ‘banter’.
If that were true, his politics now would be different and he’d apologise. He’s defensive because this is what he is and always has been and he’s angry with us for knowing that and for minding.
