Most Brits have no desire to live their lives like Americans. So why does the UK’s politics and media (comprising an infinitely small percentage of the UK population) keep raising the question of whether UK sides with Europe or US???

Clacton deserves an answer to this - while Farage continues to avoid responsibility for his early life racist comments - he can't avoid this one. A near 50% overspend to win his first seat - at the umpteenth time of trying, looks like he bought it.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

🇫🇷🇪🇺 According to the Financial Times, France has declined to include roughly €18 billion in frozen Russian assets kept in her commercial banks in the EU’s “reparations loan” for Ukraine. These frozen funds represent the second‑largest bloc of Russian sovereign reserves in Europe outside Euroclear.

As an oldie waiting for a knee replacement l had to have special assistance to a plane. The elderly folk l met were just unable to cope with the miles of steps & walking involved in modern airports. Not a single one on welfare. Johnson is a buffoon that should be in jail for Covid maladministration.
