‼️ABERGAVENNY - WALES IS NOW HAVING ILLEGAL MEN TURN UP IN MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT‼️
This is Abergavenny - men are being bused into Waitrose carpark and then being shipped off to their forever homes.
ABERGAVENNY TAKE YOUR AREA BACK!
Stand up and stop this.
WALES IS NOT SAFE, ENGLAND IS NOT SAFE, SCOTLAND IS NOT SAFE AND WHEN ANDY BURNHAM IS ASKED;
HE SMILES AND RUBS HIS NOSE.
What is everyone going to do about it ???

OBSCENE.
Britain is a failed state which no longer protects its people.
Member of an Isis squad which beheaded a British charity worker casually does his shopping on our streets.
But go ahead, prosecute the SAS which hunted those fiends!

Going Off Grid amzn.to/2uQPVho 'An epic tour de force of modern poetry. The opening poem, (Diet), is reminiscent of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and this author's Roadkill, but this time focuses on digital capitalism.' #poetry #Welsh @BylinesCymru @Cym_Wal @cardiffunilib

Syrian archaeologist Khaled Al Asaad who devoted his life to the excavation and restoration of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. He was beheaded by ISIS after refusing to disclose the location of ancient artifacts, despite a month of torture. He died a hero of heritage protection.

It is obscene to march on October 7th, a day for respect and silent remembering of some of the most barbarous crimes imaginable.
I am raging.
