A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. It is in a high population area of immigrants in France…!!!
She said ‘The values that the statue once stood for - freedom hope, the right to be yourself - have been lost for many’…!!!

Of the number of statements made by Trump that should warrant grave concern and rebuke, this one may be the most striking.

“I was saved by god to make America great again.”

The media and most politicians have entered an era of compliant darkness. We would be foolish to look to them for help.

Utterly ridiculous pop fact learnt from BBC Piano Room: the highest UK chart position for Bill Withers’ Ain't No Sunshine was 40, and that was the 2009 rerelease. Baffling.
