This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

Look at this absurdly well-behaved collie I met today. Looks like a book jacket author photo.

He looks like a guest who knows how to behave (unlike some titled gentlemen I could name, but won't.) All I am saying is that the content of a pipe should not be emptied into a pot plant.

I am not entirely sure what I feel about this. Is it an attempt to undermine the work of industrious housekeepers like myself? Or is it saying that there was once a golden age after Eden & before King George was on the throne, when essential things were done in common. Think of it!
