The latest ones include two that were previously evacuated during a 2005 disengagement plan. Continue reading...

A 15 minute campaign video. His public speech is simply lies and attacks on Biden or Obama. Nothing about governing, except as a dictator

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers.
UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.
This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

I have a daughter in her first year of a MSW program. She’s often told me I’m too political.
She’s triggered now. It’s not lost on her that, for the most part, these are degrees primarily pursued by women.
Republicans might have regrets about this decision.
