"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Inattention to native Welsh heritage sites harms our history
Both native and non-native Welsh sites like standing stones and castles built by the occupying English matter to our heritage. But one is more vulnerable than the other.

So, Farage is a spokesperson for Trump and Trump is a spokesperson for Putin. It’s, quite ironically, like a game of Russian dolls. Except instead of dolls they’re ugly treacherous cunts.

Nigel Farage is being awfully quiet about his pal's Ukraine approach.
Even his followers are not really down with letting Russia rule Europe it would seem.

Don't ever imagine that these people, baying for another child sexual abuse inquiry, have ANY interest in children who have been groomed or sexually abused. They are the SAME people who deny Shamima Begum in the SAME way those people disregarded the victims of these gangs. #childrenarechildren

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.
