But I'm also here to call BS on the 'Britain welcomes high-skilled migrants' thing. I do not feel welcome here.

Gunmen abducted 315 pupils and staff last month from St Mary’s school in Niger state as part of spate of kidnappings
Nigerian authorities have secured the release of 100 kidnapped schoolchildren taken by gunmen from a Catholic school last month, a UN source and local media said on Sunday, though the fate of another 165 students and staff thought to remain in captivity remained unclear.

Velshi: Don’t let them normalize this Trump habit
There are so many alarming behaviors being normalized in the second era of Donald Trump, and so few lighthearted moments in politics, that it's tempting to see video of Donald Trump seemingly falling asleep during a televised cabinet meeting and laugh. But we should resist the temptation to laugh. Ali Velshi explains that Americans cannot participate in such a dangerous normalization.

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
