Do Ed and Emma think George is going to get better if they're nice to him? He needs counselling and boundaries.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

This is horrendous. This is what ‘stop the boats’ and ‘raise the colours’ lead to: kids being violently attacked and threatened with death
And the police: NFA against the perpetrator
We need to make this stop before more people get hurt
Is that enough of a ‘legitimate concern’, do you think? 😠

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

It's justice v mercy. I was with Neil for justice. But Susan saying 'I've thought about this' was powerful, she's prepared to make a sacrifice. I still think I'm with Neil, but it's good drama to make me think twice.
