I don’t think people understand that Israel has killed people aboard a flotilla before…
Hence why this response from Dawn Neesom was both incredibly ignorant and devoid of any understanding of what that ‘symbolic’ aid would have meant to a mother cradling her skeletal baby.

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”.
🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

What happened to those post-Brexit farm subsidies?

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
