Roping in Year 5 and 6 children is not "staffing". Employing children under 13 is still, I believe, against the law.
And if it relies on "volunteer" children helpers to make it viable, then it's a short step from slavery.
Do they have to be trained in food hygiene?

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.

That lovely fellow next to her is Axel Scheffler, the illustrator of most of those 50 million, yet somehow not in the headline. Sure it’s an oversight. He’s also an incredibly nice person.
