Twelve men have been charged with child sex offences. I’m sure all the ‘concerned parents’ will be out in force any time now. Unless there’s something… different about these perverts..?

And expect that number to shrink further. No matter how much the government, major parties, or tabloid press push “Brexit benefits…” People know Brexit doesn’t. Brexit leaves the UK in a structurally weaker position, bleeding money, time, efficiency and opportunity daily.
Sunday Times cover saying new poll shows only 29% would vote for Brexit now.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

As Trump heads to the so-called “grand opening” of the Florida migrant facility, this definition - from the Holocaust Memorial Museum - needs to be widely shared and understood.
What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.

Many of those standing up for the people of Gaza would have been people who stood up for Jewish refugees in the 1930s because the reason they stand up is humanitarianism, religion and ethnicity play no part, it is the concept that EVERY child’s life has the same value
