A key lesson from the 26 August disaster is to go back to the traditional wisdom of not living along floodplains. Experts list towns across Nepal that would be at risk if a 100m surge like the one that came down the Bhote Kosi happened on other rivers.

‼️ Jim Ratcliffe:
🔹 Backed Brexit
🔹 Moved his tax residence to Monaco
🔹 Abandoned plans to build the British 🇬🇧 Grenadier in Wales and moved production to France
🔹 Now lectures Britain from Denmark about why the country is on the slide
And who does he blame? Immigrants and people on benefits.
The billionaires who helped hollow Britain out always point down, never at Brexit, tax flight, chronic underinvestment or their own decisions.
*Toughness* seems to mean somebody poorer paying the price.

Ed Sheeran is trying to make himself the victim
Zionism has brushed off on him already
Sheeran feels his friends threw him under the bus, showing he doesn't grasp what he did wrong. No one demanded he take a political stand. He should simply have defended Macklemore's, HIS FRIEND'S right to do so.
No, Ed. It was you who turned your back on your friends in most cowardly fashion.

"The children will grow up".
This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.

Zack Polanski's opposition to the anti-Zionism motion at next month's Green Party conference is wrong. If he succeeds in amending or defeating the motion to satisfy the genocidal Zionist lobby, an awful lot of people will be alienated. Welcoming Zionists into the Green Party is the same as welcoming racists, which is untenable.

The mounting backlash against @EdSheeran changes the calculus for artists: Submitting to Israel lobby pressure can damage your career too.

Reform and Restore are both on the far-right of British politics.
If people support Reform, Restore, the BNP, Britain First etc they MUST expect pushback.
Britain fought the far-right of Germany and Italy! The battle against the mind virus is ongoing!

Listen to her!
🚨 BREAKING:
Elsa Auerbach, an American Jewish writer: "I am anti-Zionist because I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors. The Holocaust is ingrained in me, which is why I call for a free Palestine. It is not antisemitic to be anti-Zionist. It is not antisemitic to describe what is happening in Gaza as genocide."

Australia withdrew its support for sanctions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank ahead of a UK-led statement announcing the measures, despite having participated in discussions and previously signalling openness to further action.
European diplomats said they were surprised and disappointed by Australia’s decision not to join the move.
Last week, the UK announced sanctions targeting Israeli settlements, saying ethnic cleansing was taking place in the West Bank and that Israel’s occupation was unlawful. The move was followed by a joint statement from 12 governments — including France, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden — saying they would either commit to or consider measures targeting trade with illegal settlements.

There is actually no real difference between this and the original Treaty.
The United States, Denmark and Greenland have entered into an agreement that will see the US develop a significant military presence on the island, while prohibiting US adversaries from building their own bases there, President Trump said reut.rs/3TgD842

It will soon be illegal to sell bread without folic acid – why because our food is folic acid deficient due to farming practices devised by our corporate overlords.

Swathes of UK economy are foreign-owned.
No tax is deducted from billions paid to them in dividends.
USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden have a dividend withholding tax for foreign investors.
UK could do the same, generate billions.
