'NAZIS of the Soul, NOT Nationality' (to paraphrase Lafitte).
But where are you from really? - Bylines Scotland

Let me say what many people are thinking: I don't care about his title, if he is guilty, he should go to prison as any commoner committing a crime. It is amazing how the 'firm' is spinning this so much, to keep this obvious thing out of the conversation

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK?

After the defeat of Hitler, Allied officers entrusted Bavaria with about 10,600 works on belief that looted art would be returned to the heirs of those who were robbed by the Nazis.
Sadly, Bavaria gave many to Nazis.
Where are those artworks today?

The Pact on Migration and Asylum was set to formally begin its life yesterday with the Commission’s first proposal on “solidarity” distribution.

However, disagreements among countries forced a delay, with no timeline for an agreement.
