About 40% of migrants eventually return to their parent countries, according to this, which is one of the many, many facts that is never aired in the never-ending debate over immigration in Britain.

It’s disgraceful but also revealing to see how the hard Right in Britain, especially conservative newspapers and TV stations, are using the BBC Panorama debacle to normalise Trump. Trump is a convicted criminal and if not president, would now be facing gaol time for his role in the January 6th riot.

How can an authoritarian fascist be "leader of the free world". Americans are not free. They are being terrorised by Trump's Gestapo. They are no more free than Russians.

If I had a national institution I wanted to undermine, Hanover Communications are who I’d go to.

They’ve been undermining the NHS for years, successfully lobbying for firms to get NHS ££, including US giant United Health, & providing staff to pro-private politicians.

It’s just what they do.
1/ Michael Prescott of Hanover Communications, whose leaked memo alleging left-wing bias led to the BBC meltdown.

You could be forgiven for thinking that a corporate lobbyist & former Murdoch press hack may not have the best interests of public-service broadcasting at heart.

Yesterday my 9 yr old granddaughter witnessed a man being chased across yards & grabbed by masked gunman in their alley (Oak Park). A man was pulled off a lawnmower. Fences broken, gates shattered. Men were being zip-tied and thrown into black SUV’s. Helicopters fly in the neighborhood. It’s wrong.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

Breaking - Five grooming gang survivors tell PM they will stay on panel only if Jess Phillips REMAINS in post.

They say Phillips has “devoted her life to hearing and amplifying the voices of women and girls who would have otherwise been unheard”.

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK?

Will SCOTUS say this is ok? Entire cities treated differently based on how they vote? How long before this is done at the individual level - "registered Democrats will no longer be paid social security or eligible for Medicare benefits"? Insanity.

You Americans are really going to have to do something about that man. He's not on your side, you know. He's only there to steal from you and he's doing a remarkable job of that. Stand up to him. Your reporters need to call him out on EVERY SINGLE LIE. Stop letting him get away with it all.

Not enough publicity on discarding stuff. Only last week i saw wet wipes in a major store & the packaging said 'flushable'. NONE of these should be flushed. Also pple I know think it's fine to sleuce fat down the sink with hot water. They don't realise it resolidifies when cold cos no one tells them

Answers on a postcard. Farage - who is currently in line to be the next Prime Minister of the UK - won't explain this mounting ties to a hostile foreign power. We need more investigation and public inquiry before its too late 12/12
