    Bizarre. BBC News (you know - leftie, pro immigrant) follows a factual piece about how net immigration has halved in the last year with another piece about asylum hotels and how a few local people feel about by them. Facts are news, random feelings aren't.

    Israelis who actively want children to starve to death.....

    Kerem Shalom crossing: Israeli protesters hold up aid trucks to Gaza - BBC News

    Here's a thing, though. Gaza has a coastline, doesn't it? Why can't empathetic nations transport aid by sea? Would Natanyahu prevent it landing?

    (By the way, if something's transported by sea, it's a cargo. If it's transported by road it's a shipment. Why is this?)

    A shipment usually refers to the process of moving goods. It can be made by road, sea or air, since it represents a group of items that will be transported from one place to another once. If you receive a shipment of jeans, for example, it will have traveled at least a bit by ground.

    Cargo usually refers to the goods themselves, independently if they are moved by ground, sea or air.

    Trump will have his hands full next Tuesday with PM Mark Carney & King Charles presiding over the opening of the new session of the Canadian Parliament with Charles reading the speech from the throne (and maybe adding a few choice words of his own). Perhaps then that idiot Trump will finally figure out that Canada is indeed not for sale, as is the case with the White House and Buckingham Palace (as Carney pointed out to him at their recent Oval Office meeting).

    Interesting to see Starmer tweeted how "We're taking back control" but forgot to mention it was due to a tightening of the visa rules by the previous government which Yvette Cooper described as "Chaotic" and "A Tory failure" as well as six months of that figure being the previous government. No doubt those figures will rise again following the great 'Reset'. Just another example how politicians, both Labour & Tory, distort the truth to suit themselves...

    It saddens me to see Starmer's Labour joining the Reform/Tory anti-immigration mania. Yes, stop the illegal stuff, but Labour should be confident enough to make the case for a certain level of immigration being an economic necessity, given the aging population and low birth rates. Free movement with the EU worked.

    Nice job King Charles reading the Canada Speech from the Throne to open parliament and not mentioning "his" name once. Liked his "True North & Free" comment. Up yours Trump, Elbows Up!
