Fundraiser to buy RNLI a new lifeboat and name it after Farage set to hit £300k target

A campaign is now just 10% off reaching its target - but will the RNLI welcome 'The Flying Farage' to its fleet?

🐸 has called the RNLI a ‘taxi service’ for asylum seekers, leading to a surge in donations.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

But a report has unveiled a surprising obstacle for local councils when planning bike infrastructure: cyclists.
