As if it's not hard for refugees already...I'm horrified that a government that's supposed to stand for the unprivileged and the most vulnerable is siding with the most harmful voices in politics. It will just put even more lives at risk.

Ultimo dispaccio, a tema whisky ma in questo caso un po' diverso - si parla di truffe legate al mondo degli investimenti nel settore (dopo che un documentario della BBC ha smascherato alcune compagnie e parlato con le vittime, che in alcuni casi hanno perso i risparmi di una vita)
