Again - the "borders are open for everyone" claim is a repeated RW lie (whether it concerns the US, the UK or the EU)
Who among us will ever forget where we were and what we were doing when we learned that undocumented migrants to the United States were taking all the atom-splitting jobs

Setting aside the obvious here, the reason Russia supplies low cost energy to neighbours is to prevent the emergence of alternatives and to create dependencies they can later exploit.
It's harder to push back on the demands of a country that can switch off your factories and winter heating.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Russian occupiers have reopened the Mariupol Drama Theatre, where hundreds of civilians, mostly women and children, were killed in a Russian airstrike in March 2022.
International human rights organizations classified it as a war crime.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."
‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”
So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

It’s ok to donate Christmas presents to those less fortunate.
One of my favourite memories as a child growing up in a children’s home is receiving a Christmas present from a group of motorcyclists in Christmas costumes.
As an adult I now understand this was from donations to a charity.

£250k is peanuts compared to the funds Reform receives from over seas donors..
Postie brought a leaflet from Reform UK today, in Glasgow. Incl a 2nd Class postage paid envelop. If you get one, remember to post the envelop back to them, empty or perhaps with a special message. Every envelop returned will cost them 85p. If every Glasgow household does that, cost will be £250K 😂
