I want EVERYONE who joined Jeffrey Epstein in abusing women and children to go to jail for their heinous crimes, doesn’t matter their political affiliation.
Fascist republicans want to protect all of their pedo rapists who joined him at all costs.

A good reminder that because I'm not a conservative commentator, no one will pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.
I am just a lawyer who fights for democracy and built Democracy Docket from scratch. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Several non-EU countries negotiated longer reciprocal stays with Schengen states. The UK didn’t. That decision has received surprisingly little scrutiny.

Owned by Greeks, Qualifications issued that aren't valid in the EU, transfer of jobs to Greece where Brits can't easily work.
Did no-one in C&G think this through ?
Well done Greece, surge in local Greek employment.

A C & Guilds certificate was once something of great value. It took years to achieve, but made it much easier to gain employment.
It worked really well, and together with apprenticeships, produced thousands of well qualified workers in many trades.
Another victim of Thatcher, if I recall.

‘Reforming’ or leaving the ECHR…A raising of false expectations, based on populist dishonesty.
A demonisation of immigrants to mask the failures of government.
Lies about sovereignty.
A cynical refusal by politicians and media to tell us the truth.

It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.

There is more power in standing up to a corrupt, unpopular administration rather than playing its game.
Law firms, universities, foundations, and media companies should take note.
