I had a reasonable idea what my pension fund would provide me based on data available for the previous 20 years, then America elected Trump for a second term. It had a catastrophic effect on returns for the funds I was invested in. It's going to cost me £10-15K for the rest of my life.

That thug sabotaging rescue efforts, racist riots, flags on lampposts, pink ladies wanting to burn down hotels, doxxing charity workers, ICE-style deportation plans, threats to scrap the Equality Act and leave the ECHR… “legitimate concerns” No. A tornado of hate and prejudice set off by Farage.

The White House also cited data from a conservative media watchdog that claims 92% of press coverage of Trump's second term is negative. Sounds like press reporting is fairly accurate.

It's strange how the Police are on hand to make arrests at environmental and Palastine protests, almost as if they have infiltrated those groups. The Police were strangely absent from the mass protest at the port of Dover, am I to assume the right wing have infiltrated the Police?
