Even by this administration's dire standards "President encourages pogrom against Somali-Americans" plus "Defence Secretary promises televised execution" makes for a dark week

Just wondering where and when are the riots over this White Paedophile Gang, just convicted? Did I not get the memo? Did I miss the Invite?

"Killing Hasan in full public view would make him a martyr on a bigger scale than any suicide attack ever could: there would be footage of the US state killing him, available for use by any recruiter, at any time. To call it a gift to the USA’s enemies would be the understatement of the century."

Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This little sod ran off for two hours this afternoon. I was frantic. Finally got her back by squeaking her favourite toy all around the village until she came to me. 🙄🧡🐾🐾🧡

A closer relationship with the EU can deliver more for Britain. Speaking to Euronews, Hamish Falconer backed greater ambition in UK–EU relations, agreeing that the current relationship is not good enough. #RejoinEU

I miss having a president. I mean a REAL president -- someone who works and lives the position. Someone who doesn't shame us but instead is always a person to respect and be proud of. Someone like Barack Obama.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?
