Nazi Germany had over 1000 concentration camps, but it's small number of extermination camps were primarily built in Poland.
This was simply because many ordinary Germans didn't really want to know what happened to Jews as long as they disappeared...

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Green MP Carla Denyer accuses Shabana Mahmood of trying to "out Reform Reform" and says "toxic racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants" are to blame for "tearing our country apart" not migrants.

How did we manage to build the NHS from scratch as well as so many council homes after a war which left us with huge debt?
Why are we electing successive Governments who chose not to invest in the future of our people? We know where we've got to get to, and it's been done before.

"Anti-woke" is simply another term for ignorance and fear, the currency of the far-right.
When people have been convinced to spend all their time hating others, then they're not looking at the billionaires who continue to rob them.

The idea that a country with anemic growth could voluntarily take this sort of economic hit without severe consequences was outrageous. The lying scum who promoted Brexit purely for their own selfish benefit, have done terrible harm to our country.

⬇️ Reduced UK GDP by 6-8%
⬇️ Reduced investment by 12-18%
⬇️ Reduced employment by 3-4%

Epstein was a powerful and successful networker because he knew how to manipulate people of all ages, to the point where he considered using Trump's involvement with him as leverage to save himself.
There would be no leverage against Trump if the two of them only shared business interests.
