Bands should do more matinees on a weekend. Far less of a hassle getting home from.

There is a lot going on in the news at the moment, but there is a story that is consistently being underreported: Russia.

The Lie - The ECHR is a foreign court.
The Truth - The ECHR is a document that the UK wrote and signed after WW2 to prevent Genocide, Slavery and Fascism in Europe.
You should suspect that the people who want to undo it want those very things.
It certainly looks like it.

The Tories want you to forget they're to blame for Grenfell, Windrush, #Brexit, forced austerity, slyly trying to privatise the NHS, expenses scandals, #Partygate, excess #Covid deaths, raw sewage in rivers, tax avoidance, corruption, fraud & 14yrs of lies.
Don't forget...ever.

You really would have to be ROBOTICALLY partisan not to notice the shameless difference between the micro-scrutiny being applied to Starmer’s govt’s doings by the news media and the deliberate blind eye they turned to the GROTESQUE corruption the Tories wallowed in.

Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT
"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"
"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"
"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"
"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"
"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"
"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"
"That is your deterrent"
"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"
Very well said @timfarron 👏
