ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

If you are watching the King's Speech remember that he is worth £21bn gets hundreds of millions a year tax free.
But he still charges Wind Farms to rent worthless seabed that he 'owns'.
The result £200m a year to him and you pay it on your Energy Bill.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn.

I don't get how Labour looked at the Conservatives failed and undeliverable policies and decided to double down on them. They are making a rod for their own backs by promising things which won't happen. You tackle gangs by removing the need for people to use them. Labour instead increases that need.
