Prisoner 951 review – this defiant Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe drama makes Britain look ridiculous
This tale of one family’s six-year ordeal just highlights what an unserious country Britain became in that era. The cast, including Joseph Fiennes, are excellent

A female reporter asks Trump about Epstein. He says, “Quiet, piggy.”
When Khashoggi’s murder is brought up in his meeting with the Saudi Prince who had him killed (according to the CIA), Trump says, “Things happen.”
You have a monster at the helm, America. You are in terrible danger.

The River Cherwell feeds into the River Thames. The River Thames fills up Farmoor reservoir. Farmoor reservoir supplies water to approx 600,000 people. Including my house.
As well as letting it kill our wildlife, we are drinking this stuff.

🚨 SHOCKING 🚨
A HUGE illegal waste dump has appeared between the A34 and River Cherwell, linked to organised crime.
Every rainfall risks toxins washing into the river.
We’re calling on the Environment Agency & Cherwell Council to act NOW.
Our rivers cannot wait. 👇👇
