Actor Richard Gere: “The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin? You really believe what these guys say?”
A warning that those who wrap themselves in our flag and profess their love for our country might actually be conspiring with our enemies to do us harm. Treachery that should never be forgotten or forgiven.
John Major, "Our links to Europe and America may be loser now than once they were and that is a loss"
"The loss of trade with Europe alone costs us £100 billion of lost trade every year"
"That's a tax yield of £40 billion"
"How useful would that have been in recent months to the Chancellor?"
"With the many decisions that she took, which she ought not have taken, and would not have needed to take, had we not left the European Union"
"We are told we should get over it and move on"
"That is of course exactly what a burglar would say to the ransacked home owner when they finally confront one another"
"That's not a view I have taken"
"If you suffer a loss, you must look at a way of recovering much of the ground you have lost"
"And the sooner we do that the better it will be for our economic standing and our reputation in many parts of the world"
Cat check: That is a picture from Fernbank School in 1965. That same year the Child Povery Action Group was founded in response to growing concern among social workers and researchers about rising poverty impacting children. The Conservatives had been in government for 13 years until 1964. https://t.co/g79Iazgjcm
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.
Look at this....

Today whilst most people across the world indulged in Black Friday sales - Liz started a new journey. Her body arrived at Glasgow University where she will spend three years, giving medical students the best opportunity to know more about her disease.
She was passionate about doing this. She ate and drank even when feeling extremely sick to make sure she met the criteria to go. Liz wasn’t scared of dying but she was scared of leaving us - and especially Mateo - behind. In her death she was determined to do everything she could to ensure other siblings get to stay together.
We are determined to help her to do this and are on a mission to raise as many funds as we can to fund vital research and support for others with Desmoplastic Round Cell Tumour.
If you can please donate to help us stop other young people dying too soon. If everyone who sees the post donates just £1 we could make such a difference.
Ideas for fund raising activities and offers of help also very welcome. We will make the difference Liz wants us to make, even if it takes a lifetime.
If you can’t donate please help us by liking, sharing or commenting on this post in the hope that others will see it. Together we can make a difference.

@ruskin147 How was she with the weather this weekend? My Romanian boy is more cautious & jumpy today so could that be a factor? (He’s also scared of children!)
