This tragically runs through so many organisations my experience with the World Bank & its Global Road Safety Program so quickly it became dominated by big donors from auto,alcohol & oil corporates!

Bravo Bernie speaking truth to tyrants as usual! Keep going!
Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Let’s also honour them by providing their descendants today with great education skills-good jobs amazing homes & healthcare.That is what they also fought for!
It was a privilege to lay a wreath at the Nottingham War Memorial today, in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat fascism, and lives lost in all wars.
Let us honour them by striving towards a world in which everybody has the right to freedom and sovereignty.

He was the unifying force behind the birth of the European Union.
His idea was to unite the French and German coal and steel industries after WWII.
He is Jean Monnet. And today, on his birthday, we honour his role in building the EU as we know it today.

One of my contributions in Parliament was to inform the House that when I had my DNA checked I was surprised to learn I was 34% Irish with a substantial Scandinavian link at around 30% I urged the Speaker to support all MPs doing the same & sharing the information.

I find this in very poor taste from Holland.Why burn a Margaret Thatcher when there are so many real villains to choose from some of them very close by to Gosmer?
Goodnight from Gosmer, where the villagers have chosen to burn an effigy of Thatcher the Iron Witch instead of Guy Fawkes. Goodnight from David Appleyard, walking a night filled with bonefire incense and the heady gunpowder smell of exploded fireworks. Goodnight from Hookland.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

Quentin Letts unreliable!
School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

Why do we need a new plastics plant merely to make Jim Ratcliffe wealthier?
Pollution from Ineos’s Antwerp plastic plant ‘will cause more deaths than jobs created’
Pollution from Ineos’s Antwerp plastic plant ‘will cause more deaths than jobs created’
Lawyers challenge €4bn Project One development, saying emissions and health impacts vastly underestimated
The deaths from pollution caused by Europe’s biggest plastic plant, which is being built in Antwerp, will outstrip the number of permanent jobs it will create, lawyers will argue in a court challenge issued on Thursday.
In documents submitted to the court, research suggests the air pollution from Ineos’s €4bn petrochemical plant would cause 410 deaths once operational, compared with the 300 permanent jobs the company says will be created. Continue reading...

It’s Chinese I’m told.
The Nio ES8 got an update that gave it a new platformy and styling reminiscent of the flagship ES9 sedan.
This car can be had for about $42,000, or the same price as the China-Only Tesla Model Y L three row, provided you opt into Nio’s battery lease program. @insideevs.com
