You know what. It’s a fucking shame the media haven’t put even half as much coverage on Gaza and Israeli/IDF war crimes as they have on this “hijacking”. I wonder why they haven’t?

A man was found dead on Friday, October 2nd, at a motorway rest area near Troyes in the Aube region. He had been shot in the head while a passenger in a vehicle transporting undocumented migrants. UK-registered van. A man has been arrested. But let's blame the French, eh?

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

Burnham could change tax relief on pension contributions for his projects. Gross tax relief in 2024-2025 was £83.9bn. 71% went to 7.7m additional & higher rate taxpayers. 29% to 30.4m basic rate taxpayers. Giving relief to all at 20% leaves £14.5bn spare for social care. But equality/equity?
