In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.
It appears there is now a measles outbreak at the Dilley family detention facility. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Most cars with an auto unlock feature can also have that feature disabled. Whether to protect yourself from gov agents or as a smart safety choice in itself, you should consider turning auto unlock off.

“The agents open the door, which unlocked automatically when she put the gearshift in park, they drag her out and force her to the ground. She said the agents were overly aggressive and physical as they pinned her down and handcuffed her, leaving her with multiple cuts, scrapes and bruises.”

It’s not a great look for a healthcare organisation who provides mental healthcare for a third of the Scottish population to have alleged sources slagged off with comments on their mental health to journalists. How may others were told the same ? Utterly despicable. Ps I am likely one target of this

All the professional bodies and the INWO have an ethical obligation that if they demand speaking up - that they ENSURE safety.
