I resent being called a lefty just because I don't want people to starve. I'm a capitalist who knows businesses need consumers or there's no one to sell to

Twitter for me is like being in a pub with colleagues discussing economics and current events. It is fair, therefore, to assign to my interventions the same weight given to the musings of a drunken friend. Sometimes, a literally drunken friend as I shall to you. – at Makati City, National Capital Region

We should put those bases to use if they will not take back their citizens here illegally.
BREAKING: Honduras President Xiomara Castro just issued a threat to President Trump, saying she'll shutdown U.S. military bases if he deports Honduran nationals.
"Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena, where, without paying a cent for decades, they maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all reason to exist in Honduras."
"We hope that the new U.S. administration of democratically elected President Donald Trump will be open to dialogue, constructive and friendly, and will not take unnecessary reprisals against our migrants, who normally make a great contribution to the U.S. economy."
Who does this lady think she is? (1) Why do we even have bases in Honduras? and (2) If illegal Honduran aliens make such great contributions to the United States economy, shouldn't she be pleased that they'll be coming back home to contribute there?

No church (Anglican, Catholic, dissenting, evangelical), no mosque, no temple, no political party, no boarding school, no prison and no youth club should ever conduct their own safeguarding investigation to protect children. Must be independent, skilled and multidisciplinary.

Also bring back the CES and get rid of the 'employment services' which are making $$$$$$ out of the government
.so #ACNC refuses a charity application because buying property in bulk and passing the savings on to tenants isn't a charitable cause. Even though CHPs would choose who gets to live in the property. Taken them a year to reach this idiotic conclusion acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aai…
