I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

Barely mentioned but that now notorious Trump Panorama *wasn’t made by the BBC*
It was an indie production (as so much is)
Even if was BBC, head of news or DG would wouldn’t have been involved in edits

This is the most abysmal, pathetic thing. The BBC head resigning because the corporation is not supine *enough* to the far-right.

It really is incredible how much money Trump’s offspring have made off his presidency.
But I’m sure James Comer and House Oversight is looking into all of it exhaustively.

I took the dog down to Ardeer beach on the Clyde Coast yesterday and in amongst the seaweed, jellyfish and the occasional Portuguese Man-o-War(!) cast up on the shore, I found this. Who knew the inside of a crab's shell could quite such a vivid purple!

I'm certain government ending a lot of short term prison sentences will enrage many. But I've never known anyone to work in or with a prison, in including an ex prison minister, who hasn't said that they are the wrong places for the vast majority of inmates.

It's a tax "raid". When you or I pay our income tax it's just a tax. But when a fabulously wealthy millionaire who refuses to contribute to the country whose public services they use (and yes, they use roads, defence, police etc) it's a "raid".
