It wasn't #immigrants who ran the #NHS into the ground. Nor was it immigrants who privatised the now failing water authorities, having stripped the assets for their fat cat CEOs. It's not immigrants who are demanding a 40% increase in your bills to fund this theft of public assets. It's not immigrants who are raising your food prices and rents. If Brexit was about taking #Britiain back then why are we worse off? Immigrants?

People outside the US really have no concept of what it's like inside that country. They haven't for decades.
I try to keep this in mind whenever I read about events in another country. We always see such a tiny slice of the situation.
If this is true, do not under any circumstances talk to them or engage.
To be clear, these are only rumors; but The Guardian in the UK is horribly transphobic and it is completely within their character to attack DIY HRT options to further their anti-trans agenda.
Stop sacrificing the Arts for STEM.
"By the government’s own estimates, the creative industries contribute around £126 billion to the UK economy. That’s more than the car industry, for instance, or aerospace, oil and gas."

I've been saying it for months: #Netanyahu needs war, if necessary even escalation. As soon as the war is over, he will face criminal charges.
No, he's not a madman, but utterly ruthless and doesn't care about non-Jewish lives at all, and #Jewish lives only if it serves him politically.

Sounds reasonably true.
However, w/o telling him to desist from further escalation or else...it will not work.
Besides, "Bibi" is the guy who embarrassed mighty Ronald Reagan twice with severe acts of aggression. (Interesting #TheEconomist pod last week--paywalled.)
