BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.

Absolutely blows my mind that Americans have this attitude to work / life. That they put up with hardly any annual leave, being in massive debt for health and education, no paid maternity leave. Greatest land in the World though... for employers.

Starting off the working year right by getting a smear that I didn’t know was due because I never got the letter because we moved. I’d only gone in to get my meds re prescribed and a blood test.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.
