Give your average British born citizen a C2 Cambridge Proficiency Test and see what they score.
I guarantee you that quite a few would flunk it. And that's not their fault, nor does it matter.... because language alone does not define your right to be here.

Imagine if projector salespeople told you projectors were great in the classroom not because they let everybody see an image better but rather because now every course could be about projectors, because projectors are the future and the time to opt out of talking about projectors all day has passed.

Absolutely furious about this. These were so very obviously peaceful protesters, so, even if you have to arrest them to clear the area, a cavity search can only be meant to intimidate.
This should count as an assault by whoever gave the order for it.

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.
Her job is to remove homeless people from SF's parks. Her methods are extraordinary
Instead of forcing people out of Golden Gate Park, ranger Amanda Barrows helps them find housing.

If you need to discipline your child by beating them, a smaller, weaker human who has grown up with *you* setting an example for their behaviour, who has relied on you for every aspect of their life, then you are a complete and utter failure as a father and a shit metaphor for leadership.
