You make it sound like a real estate development. The settlements are ILLEGAL and the West Bank is OCCUPIED Palestinian land.

At least here in Uganda we pretend to vote first.

People forget how pivotal Kante can be when there is a midfield battle to be won and France lost this semi in the midfield #FRASPA #ESPFRA

This fungus-at-national-scale story could have been taken directly from the pages of my second novel Azúcar: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g4… Proof positive that fiction can predict real national initiatives. If you want to read Azúcar, get it on @bookshop_org_UK: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/azuc…

Context is credibility. Here is the more complete clip with actual context. When I said "powerless Pakistani men" in the context of 'grooming gangs' it was a comparison to Epstein, AMW, Saville, etc. Sadly, Laila didn't include the context. Solidarity with all survivors.
For Ellie and every survivor, we won’t stop. I spoke at an event about this and was called racist and “dog whistling.” @nelsabbey demanded I “balance” it by mentioning white offenders, he even called them “powerless Pakistani men.” Watch 👇

Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote: "Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true." It's not true, it's utter garbage. I'll go through facts and figures. /1

51 asylum seekers charged with 116 various offences. That's 51 out of the ~3,000 people charged with various offences in Dorset. Grok has the reading comprehension of a toddler and somehow concludes "51 of the 116 (44%) men charged with sexual offences are asylum seekers."

BREAKING! US court ha suspended the US sanctions against me! As the judge says: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest". Thanks to my daughter and my husband for stepping up to defend me, and everyone who has helped so far. Together we are One.

The Home Office has now responded to my request for comment a week later. "The Home Office Windrush Scandal is one of the most shameful events in this country’s history, & we are committed to righting the wrongs of the past..
A former paint maker who lost his 12-year career due to the Windrush scandal & lost his home as a result says after half a decade of fighting for compensation he has been awarded £1,147 for loss of employment by the Home Office scheme.
