Several Refugee Nation flags were flown during Sunday's Unity March in Oxford, which sparked a lot of curiosity. This flag was designed by Syrian artist Yara Said for the refugee athletes who competed in the 2016 Olympics. The design is inspired by a life vest. For More: www.therefugeenation.com

And how do you get filthy rich? By destroying our planet and extracting money from vulnerable people. The proportion of billionaires who got rich from oil and gas or gambling has been steadily growing. Why do we let them??

Child poverty has not improved in 30 years and shockingly remains stable ~30%. While UK billionaires accumulate a more and more wealth. Is this the "abundance" they talk of? (Sources in ALT text).

Labour aren’t even pretending any more. Here’s a handy list of Oxfordshire County votes for a motion brought by the Conservative Alliance published on the Reform councillor’s FB page. Labour voting with Tories, the nutters from the IOA (their chair is an anti-vaxxer and Covid denier) and Reform. 🤷♀️

This is not the first time Oxford Labour have lied on a leaflet about buses and Oxford Greens. In April they claimed the Green Party was to blame for buses not being in public control, when at the time, there was no such legislation from central government...

Don't tell us about "trust". Here we have Cllr Baines' picture on a leaflet that tells outright lies. Oxford Greens proposed in fact an amendment to include _additional_ disadvantaged groups into the bus motion proposed by Labour.

Rose Hill shops. All the pavement up to the buildings is public highway, yet it is built and therefore used as if it can be used for parking. We need better design for the public realm.

Not sure it is, unless I am reading the map right. The white van and the blue car are parked like this. The 2 white cars in the background look to be parked on land belonging to the property.
