Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Tents supplied to displaced Palestinians ‘inadequate for Gaza winter’
Tents supplied to displaced Palestinians ‘inadequate for Gaza winter’
Thousands have blown down in storms and tents from China, Egypt and Saudi Arabia found to be not waterproof
Thousands of tents supplied by China, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to shelter displaced Palestinians in Gaza offer only limited protection against rain and wind, an assessment compiled by shelter specialists in the devastated territory has revealed.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.
When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

A mutated influenza strain has triggered dramatic headlines in the U.K. where health leaders are warning of a “worst-case scenario” for the country’s NHS.
But the data doesn't suggest hospital admissions will peak higher than previous years.
